Seriously, there is no excuse for this. The person obviously drove well enough on the day to pass the test so why can't they maintain this standard? I've been driving only a year yet I've seen some of the stupidest things imaginable. For example turning right at traffic lights. THERE IS NO NEED TO STOP WHEN THE GREEN FILTER IS ON! PLUS THERE'S A HUGE YELLOW GRID IN THE ROAD! YOU'RE NEVER SUPPOSED TO STOP IN THOSE. LONG STORY SHORT, DON'T STOP! Another annoying thing is slow people n front of you. Not only does the speed limit mean don't go over that speed, it means try to keep to that speed to keep up the flow of traffic. Yeesh. Post your driving peeves people.

I don't drive (can't afford a car at the moment), but when I'm in a car I notice that the people in my area have a tendency to proceed at a stop sign by going two at once. Also, when going the speed limit, I hate people who stupidly rush/tailgate you and then wave their fat little fists after passing you up.. seriously, someone needs to be retested.
I've always had this thing where I wish only people 18 years or older can claim a drivers license.. There are too many young people are on the road, and I mean 16/17 year olds and such.. I can't stand them.. sure it could be me being envious, but geez, a little too young don't you think? Lastly, I think that people should attain a license if they only get 100% on their tests. I'd help a bunch. So yeah, the biggest driver peeve would be the hasty annoying ones who can't follow simple rules.

People who drive on the left side of the road! What's up with that? Eh, I was just poking fun at you Europeans. lol No, really, my pet peeve is drivers who fail to use their turn signals, causing me to nearly rear-end them. I mean, really, how hard is it to flip the directional signal on?

Failure to use indicators at roundabouts is pathetic.

People who talk on their mobiles while driving.
People who dont bother indicating.
P-platers who speed and do stupid crap, thus giving the rest of us p-platers who drive safely a bad reputation.

I HATE drivers. Like, all of them. I hate it when people are turning left at an intersection, and they drive all the smurfing way out into the middle of the road when there are people coming through it. Then the light turns red and guess who's sitting there blocking traffic and looking like a douche? Of course, they don't KNOW that the light is red because they're nowhere near it, and, of course, have now run said red light.
Here are some other people who should be physically violated with a hot branding iron; people who are apparently in the biggest hurry ever, and are zooming ahead of people and changing lanes like idiots. As a general rule, whenever someone does that to me, I always speed up, catch up with them and prevent them from getting back into my lane.
Here are some other people who should be beaten with a piece of heavy mining equipment and left bleeding in the moonlight; people at lights who lay on the horn THE SECOND the light turns green and the person in front of them hasn't gone yet. Unless you are physically on fire at the moment, there is absolutely no reason to be in THAT big of a hurry. The last time someone did this to me, I stuck my head out the window and yelled "ok, thank you! I'm smurfing stupid and don't know how to drive!" Then I proceeded to drive at five miles an hour until he was able to pass me, at which time I sped up and cut him off.
Here are some more people who deserve to be maimed in a public setting: cops who somehow feel as though they're above the law and make random U-turns in the middle of the road. This happened to me once, I passed a cop and he just WHIPPED around into oncoming traffic and started tailing me for no reason. I almost wish he would have pulled me over, so I could have said "well, let's see. You just broke no less than three traffic laws. I broke none. I roughly believe that makes me the winner.
And, lastly, GET OFF OF THE smurfING PHONE.[/i][/u]
Honestly? I'll openly admit to bouts of road rage. And it wouldn't happen if people weren't so damn stupid. My uncle has literally followed people, pulled them out of their car and beaten them. I sometimes wish I was a badass.

* Traffic lights aren't SUGGESTIONS...
* Indicators are there for a reason
* People revving up at traffic lights like they're on Indy's starting grid... You'll stop to the next one in 200 meters, give me a break! Even more annoying if they're doing it while driving ordinary/pathetic cars.
* Handbrakes, skidding, tyre-screaming etc... Wanna drive like on a racetrack? GO TO A F'N TRACK. And, sorry, your 1.4 Peugeot 206 or your 1.8 VW Golf AIN'T a Subaru Impreza WRC or a Le Mans Audi R8. Stop pretending your driving a race car.
* People not accepting being "overtaken" on highways etc... They just HAVE to pass you back
* "Straighs-only drivers" You'll see them blazing beside your car, just to catch them up at the first turn where they'll desperately hit the brakes... Straight average speed: 200km/h. Turn average speed: 20km/h.

I hate all drivers in all seriousness, but there is two kinds of drivers I hate the most.
1) Street racers....especially when it is after 10 on weekend nights...when they start racing and ignore all the traffice laws.
2) Texas drivers in Dallas............I swear ALL of them tailgate our vehicle....

My uncle has literally followed people, pulled them out of their car and beaten them. I sometimes wish I was a badass.[/quote] Remind me to NEVER be near you in traffic. Judging by your first couple of paragraphs, you're more dangerous than those you're puping about. Yes, declaring a legal lane in an intersection in the midst of cross section traffic, and then leaving said legal lane after the light turns red (since it was declared anyway) = unsafe driver because they, ya know, cleared their lane. Yes, speeding up with a speeder to keep them out of your lane = safe driver. Yes, they honk the horn, therefore they should be mocked at 5 MPH and then cut off = safe driver. And well, you're right on with the last paragraph...though I'd dare you to try and prove it in court, after the slander you just gave the cop, which you'll be allergic to (you'll break out in handcuffs). And lastly...the phones? Absolutely...your uncle? Try that in Wyoming and he'll probably (upon further reflection, this might be construed as a threat. It has been deleted.) I carry a .38 revolver in my glove compartment...if he lays hand on me, he'll (upon further reflection, this is xenophobia, something I do not condone) with Wyoming people. Yes, we carry. Yes, I can carry and have my concealed carry permit (though I have never carried, and would like it to stay this way). That being said, given my comments and the comments of the poster I was making general comments to, this thread should be locked, stocked, and barrelled into an alternate universe. WITH HASTE!

For the record, most Europeans drive on the right hand side. It`s just mainly Brits and Australians on the left. There are othre but I can`t think off the top of my head.
Bad drivers really piss me off. If you`re crap at Super Mario then you`re not doing any harm. Being a bad driver could kill someone. People in our town take the one way system we have as a race course. From my bedroom window I`ve seen cars on fire, people being dragged out unconcious, prety scary stuff.
Thing is, the police do very little about it. One speed camera on 'the straight' would solve the whole thing overnight but for some reason it doesn`t happen. Think someone needs to die before somethin gets done. It better not be soeone I know or I`ll be goin postal!

no.1 for me is people who don't use their turn signals. whether you're getting off the interstate or turning onto a road, not using your turn signal is inexcuseable.
tailgaiters- no real explaination there
people who stop at a stoplight as far away from that little white strip as possible
I'm sure I have others

I hate people who signal for a left turn and then pull ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT to wait to make their turn. Why the f*** would you make a left turn that HUGE? And why do you need to prevent me from pasing your dumb ass on the shoulder?
People at intersections, making left turns, who get the gren light and then make the turn from where they were sitting rather than pulling out into the intersection first. Did you forget the driving test administrator telling you you'll wind up on the wrong side of the road turning that tightly? And it always happens too. These idiots wind up in the center turn lane, or on the left side of the road. And then they just cut across to the right side, gleefully cutting off the people who actually know how to make the turn and wound up in the right lane.
Left turns: happy medium, people. Not tto huge, not too tight. You just pull to the left side of the lane, and out into the middle of the intersection. And then you turn. That's first-day driving lesson stuff.
People who slam on their brakes at the last second rather than braking gently and slowly. That's all well and dandy for you, it ain't so for this SUV behind you, buddy. I can't stop on a dime like your little clown car, and I'm gonna be all up in your ass if you slam on the brakes.
People who switch lanes with no signal, and at times where they barely have any room to do so. If you look to either side of you and see a just barely car-sized gap between two cars, that ain't enough room for you to merge. You're going to cause an accident one of these days.

Moreso than anything - BMW drivers and Audi drivers. You're on THEIR road. Get out of the f***ing way! How dare you stick to a two-second gap, get up that lorry's ass already!
Last week, some idiot in a flashy BMW decided to overtake me in a 30mph limit, in a SCHOOL ZONE, about 5 yards from a CROSS-ROADS. Luckily for him, the traffic lights on the crossroads were green and he zoomed past...straight into slow moving traffic - a Tractor in front of him, a lorry coming the other way. SWEET! So I pull up right behind him and say, "WTF? Where you go to now, eh?" You can see him shaking his head at me.

Four way stoplight intersections with left-turn only arrows are a good idea.
So explain to me why every single time my nice little left turn arrow comes on, I get out into the road and start turning, the person on the other side starts to come about 3 seconds AFTER I start turning, and honks and yells at me as if I'm doing something wrong, even though I have the right of way.
I really detest bad drivers.
