People who pull out in front of you and drive 30.

4 lanes and the car in the fast lane is driving right next to the car in the slow lane at same speed!!

I hate people who aren't handicapped in any way, but park in the handicap spots.

Another pet peeve is people who have several young children in their car, and not a one in a car seat...those times, I'd love to be a cop.

And how about people who come onto the highway, are on the onramp, and you've got a car passing you on the left so you can't move...and they expect you to get out of their way!

And yes...people who are in front of me, going 20 mph under the speed limit, with no passing lane. Pull over and let traffic go by, please.

These are all some of my biggest pet peeves with driving, as well.

But I really hate those really cautious drivers who could have pulled out into the intersection forever ago with no problem whatsoever, but didn't and still sit there for another forever in a half... come on now, let's get a move on! Thanks

Here or u find drivers slow like snails or fast and dangerous and i hate both of them. Unfortunately boys of 18 - 40 are crazy about ugly cars with huge speakers making a big mess and i would like to kill them all. Ah, here you always find driving school cars driving in the middle of the road at the time when there are a lot of cars in the morning to go to work and school.. it is not fair! Here in Malta they think the streets are theirs...

How about the people who are in the merge lane when you're coming off of an entrance ramp & CAN move over, but decide to speed up to block you instead? frustrated

Yes, that causes many accidents on the highways without speedlimit here....

people that turn 2 mph into anywhere so you are waiting behind them.

People who change lanes at toll plazas - I've lost track of how many times I've been cut off by some yahoo who's looking to get to the shorter line.

I'll add people who don't know HOW to get on the freeway. I usually end up behind them, trying to get on myself. It's called an on ramp for a reason, like to get to freeway speed, not wait until you're actually there & need to be going the same speed as everyone else.

How about truckers who are governed to a certain speed and they decide they need to pass one who's going slower than they are...there's no way to get around them when there's only 2 lanes.

And even though talking on your phone without a handsfree device has become against the law out here....people still do it.

and when the truckdrivers decide to try and pass when they are going up a hill so it slows them down then you have to wait till you go down the hill for them to gain speed so they can then pass the car.

Also..Signal lights are on your car for a reason... USE THEM

A girl after my *driving* heart. I just love those morons who pull leisurely in front of you on a lonely stretch of highway when I'm driving 80 MPH and they could've waited approximately one second for me to pass - instead forcing me to slam on my brakes....

I've encountered cars driving parallel on a two-lane highway, once just barely inching past the other - the slightly faster of the two not bothering to accelerate even a little to expedite the process. Sometimes these slow-motion passes can take minutes. handshake comfort wave

Individuals who don't turn off their signals, and have me wondering if they are ever going to turn.

I've driven all over North America and hawaii, and some of the worst drivers are in Edmonton. Like pieces of crap floating in a giant cesspool, all over the roads. All you can do is try to avoid being smeared.
Stop and yield signs are treated as mere suggestions, and traffic light are viewed as decorations instead of controls.
A week here and you'd appreciate wherever it is that you're from, and winter's coming, so it'll only get worse. sigh

Never understood the function of one of those ultra slow-motion turns. I could've literally read a small novel while waiting for one those doddlers to inch through a left or right turn...navigating the turn as though they were driving on ice or possibly through a mine field...confused dunno laugh

Yeah...those sloooowwwllly passing trucks are the pits, D.

And those people who wait to accelerate onto the freeway until...well, they reach the freeway. What do they think the purpose of an onramp is, exactly? A place of quiet and sluggish reflection?confused dunno

It's a good warning that there's an idiot behind the wheel. It's flashing "dummy, dummy, dummy, dummy"laugh
