Top 10 Driving Pet Peeves - What's yours?

Just came across this CNN survey posted a couple of weeks back. Thought it might make for a few fun posts. What's your top driving pet peeve - is it on this list?...

Most annoying driving habits:
1. Distracted drivers talking on cell phones (28.5 percent)
2. Slow drivers in the fast lane (21.6 percent)
3. Pushy drivers who tailgate (18.1 percent)
4. Drivers who weave through traffic to gain one or two car lengths (12.5 percent)
5. Obnoxious drivers who speed up to keep you from changing lanes (5.5 percent)
6. Hasty drivers who change lanes without signaling (4.9 percent)
7. Road Rage (2.7 percent)
8. Motorcyclists who race down the middle of a lane, between cars (2.1 percent)
9. Women applying makeup and men shaving (1.7 percent)
10. Drivers who leave their turn signal on for miles (0.92 percent)

1)slow drivers in the far left lane
2)random brakers (braking for no apparent reason- take your foot off the gas, clown!)
3)cab drivers w/o fare in the cab (drive so slow to conserve gas)
4)people who are incapable of multi-tasking on the cell phone while driving
5)speeding up/slowing down next to another car to block you from passing
6)those special people who think a YIELD sign is a STOP sign
7)two cars next to one another on a residential street with the windows down, talking to one another, blocking all traffic
8)people who try to get over 4 lanes 100 feet or less ahead of a highway exit so they don't miss it
9)anyone driving with a gangsta lean
10)anyone blasting house or techno from their car stereo within 1000 feet of my crib

All the above plus:

Drivers who don't use their turn signals - should be shot!

Rude drivers - try to take me from the shoulder or try to jap me out after waiting on a busy exit ramp. Notice key word here is try! Hello, is your time more important than mine - don't think so.

Or multiples of the above list Jay gave. I had a guy in a Lexus in front of me one morning, holding up the entire parkway. He had the cell phone on his ear, the newspaper open over the steering wheel and an electric razor in his other hand. Get your sorry ass out of bed earlier and do what you have to do. Same goes for pretty girl putting on her makeup as she drives.

How's about the moron that insists on driving right next to you, steering wheel to steering wheel when the roadway is empty. You speed up, he speeds up.

Where is everyone on this? Say it ain't so, the rest of you guys out there aren't the people described in this thread, are you? I refuse to believe BMW drivers would fit into any of the above categories.

BMW drivers using turn signals....heh heh....that is why the newer BMWs have that awful turn signal system which makes less likely to use.....

Biggest pet peeves, single driver driving a SUV and not carrying any passenger and cargo....I mean like why have such a big car....
