Driver pet peeves

Do you have driver pet peeves? Is there something drivers do that bugs the heck out of you? Where do “I” start with this one..

- Drivers who fail to use a turn signal. Seriously, is it so hard for you to signal when you’re about to make an abrupt turn? I’ve seen several accidents here that were caused by drivers who failed to signal.

- Drivers who can’t seem to put their cellphones down long enough to go from point A to point B. Several weeks back I was heading to get Jo from work when a driver who was talking on their cellphone wasn’t paying attention to the guy ahead of them, who was turning. Instead of breaking, they decided the best thing to do was to swerve into my lane. This literally sent me over the median, which nearly caused me to roll over (in an SUV). I’ve almost been hit by drivers who run red lights because they’re on their cellphones and not paying attention to the lights changing.

- Drivers who are in a hurry and think by riding up on my bumper is going to speed me up. Hardly. In fact, these drivers are more than likely going to piss me off to the point where I’ll slow down. If you are in that big of a hurry, leave the house earlier.

- Drivers who do not restrain children in a car seat. I cannot tell you how angry it makes me to see a toddler standing up in the front or backseat of a car. There’s no way that child is going to survive a high impact collision and these happen almost daily here.

- Drivers who refuse to let you merge. I cannot count the times I’ve run out of road before I was able to merge because of jerks like this.

What are yours?

Oh man, I’ve wanted to write this post OFTEN! Lol, I’ll come home from somewhere and just spout off to my husband about all the other stupid drivers out there! Like the people who can’t go the speed limit and I’m stuck behind someone going 20 in a 45… Or the people who turn out in front of you when you’re on a 55 mph road and they CAN’T get up to that speed so you end up having to slam on your brakes to avoid hitting them! Ugh! There are so many annoying drivers out there!
