I am generally a pretty easy-going guy in traffic and let others' transgressions slide...but sometimes it is just too much to take quietly. These are a few of my most-hated peeves:
Drivers who do not understand the "right of way" and how it helps to prevent accidents:
Sometimes I will be at a stop-sign on a side street feeding onto a major 4-lane road and someone driving down the road will come to a complete stop in a continuous lane of traffic to politely let me pull into the road. They may be trying to be nice, but that is a completely dangerous move for many other drivers around. Another driver will rightly assume that the car in front of them is not going to just randomly stop for any oddball reason and will continue in his lane as he is supposed to do...never having a chance to see the car that is going to pull right in front of him from a side street before it is too late, all because the car in the neighboring lane was trying to be "nice".
Or when traffic is flowing in a smooth flow on the freeway, and a cop car is seen up ahead on the side of the road and several drivers SLAM on their brakes in a knee-jerk reaction. This really can cause an issue!
I am sure there are many other issues that bother you guys here (and gals too). What are they?
