I forgot to put my MOST ANNOYING driving habit as an option :(
I can't stand being behind the drivers that do "the lean", you know what I mean?
I don't know if they think they're cool, or what, but it's ridiculous, they either got their head rested against the window or they have their head practically in the other seat.
I definately take after my mom, everything annoys me. The neverending turn signal, the invisible turn signal, driving too slow, stopping to make a right hand turn, not driving straight, braking going down hills, braking going up hills, braking for no reason.
OK, I voted wrong, now that I think about it, the most annoying thing is the people who inch. They stop at a light a car length away from the white line. Then they inch forward. Then they inch forward again. By time the light turns green, they are all the way past the white line. And I thought I was impatient!
All of those things bug me too, but the one that gets me going the most is when someone pulls out in front of you to go in the same direction and then in only one or two blocks they slow down or stop to turn back off that street.

The cell phones get me, and equal to that is people who gun it and cut you off just so they can be one car length ahead. These are the same people who honk in traffic jams. Pointless.
It is in some cities, but not in most. Personally, if I'm talking on my cell phone in may car, which is rare, I use my hands free adapter, so it's just like talking to someone else in the car. Plus, if I'm calling in the car, it's usually either to let someone know I'll be late, I'm lost, or that there's a wreck that's blocking up traffic.
"These are more or less interchangeable in British English, although some people feel that whilst is more formal. Whilst is slightly more common when the meaning is 'whereas' or 'although': Whilst she is new to the job, she learns quickly, but: While she is new, perhaps you would help her. In American English, whilst is not used."
I agree with the Queen : "The neverending turn signal, the invisible turn signal, driving too slow, stopping to make a right hand turn, not driving straight, braking going down hills, braking going up hills, braking for no reason." I had that this morning, a line of traffice with the lead car braking going down and then up a hill.
I would like to add pulling out in front of you becuase they just had to get around the corner, then driving like a snail, but did I mention that there was absolutely no one behind me?
Then there is always my favorite that if you are driving in the left hand lane and you have someone on your tail, a line of traffice behind you and cars are constantly passing you and getting in front of you then leaving you behind, you don't have enough common sense that maybe you are driving too slow in the wrong lane?
Common sense while driving is always a good thing to have. But I also do not like rude people. You know the type. The ones that cut you off but get stuck right in front of you because there is nowhere to go, the ones who insert their car between you and the car in front of you when you have just left enough space to stop if necessary and a car wouldn't really fit in there.
Sorry, Geminis have very bad road rage.

Oh, got another. Highway driving, you turn on your turn signal that you're going to pass the car in front of you, when the car behind you pulls out right next to you so you can't get over.
And, when there are cars in both lanes going the same speed!
I am with MZ. I hate when I am trying to change lanes, use my indicator and the car in the other lane speeds up so you cannot get over, so you speed up they speed up.You slow, they slow. For this reason I am glad for SUV and its engine. I then hit the gas and begin moving against these little cars. It is usually people not from California.
i have a 30 minute stretch of my commute on interstate 84.... between 2 fairishly big cities.. waterbury and danbury. (we do like those berries in CT)
What really frosts me... is when traffic slows and some crass mo-fo pulls into the truck lane (slow vehicle lane) and blasts past all the cars in the slow lane that are stoppped. the reason why the slow lane is stopped is because of these MO-FO's that are zipping along in the slow vehicle lane (which is only 500 feet long) come to the end and have to cut infront of the poor slobs in the slow lane.
It makes me insane. absolutely insane. if i am in the slow lane at such a time i will move to drive between the 2 lanes as soon as it turns into the solid line (meaning it will end shortly) just to stop these MO-FO's....
I voted for the cell phones,(CT just passed law, no more cell phones allowed while driving goes into effect this month) but also would like to recommend people who leave their right blinker on when getting off exit. come to light at ramp... keep blinking.... then turn left with right blinker still on. make me want a beebee gun.
MJ, I totally agree! Since I live in the Crossroads of America, it also means I live in a state that is permanently under construction. When you see a sign that says Left Lane closed ahead, you merge right, not get into the left hand land so you can cut in line when it ends!
Yes! Those meanies that are rude enough to think they can cut the line by driving up as far as they can before the lane is closed and then get over. Let it be known that I will not let you in should you try that stunt.

I'm with Fuzzy on the people that try to cut in line way at the front!
I was involved in a little accident because this idiot thought he was going to squeeze in right at the last minute before the orange barrel merge. I didn't let him in and he hit the barrels at about 45 mph. One of the barrels hit my car. He was cited for reckless driving and had to pay to have my fender repainted. Oh vengence is sweet sometimes!

It was great! Usually I'm 3 or 4 cars back and all I can do is beat on the steering wheel and yell at the guy in front. Why did you let him in???!! Of course he can't hear you because he's up front and well...your windows are usually up.

Yep, you're getting passed by someone after you've already got over, and immediately you start saying to the people in front of you, "You better not let them in."
I have found driving to be very good for my prayer life. Just this morning I had a vent session with The Big Guy after some guy cut me off in an intersection and then told me I was "#1". I just reminded myself that God loves him, too. I didn't at the time, but God did.
