Driving pet peeves

And sometimes someone gets distracted at the light. It pisses me off when I see someone honk their horn at the lead driver the second the light goes green.

The one that really churns my butter is the person who drives in one lane and crosses all the other lanes at the last second to make a turn in the opposite direction. Happened to me last night. I was in the right lane and this joker in the left lane cut across in front of me with inches to spare and turned into Burger King.

And for cryin' out loud it's a speed LIMIT, not a suggestion. It means this far and no further. You're not entitled to go faster for any reason. It's a law, get over it.

It's really nothing personal, but you're the type of person that I want to pull out of their car and beat them until they bleed.

Some of us would like to get home. So that guy sitting at the green light in first position needs to keep himself focused and NOT distracted by anything else but his driving, he deserves a ticket for stopping traffic if he does not move within 2 seconds. I really don't want to sit through 2 or even 3 lights because the idiot wanted to check his emails on his blackberry.

The guy that changes lanes and weaves all over needs to have his ability to drive taken away for awhile until he can learn to drive safely.

As far as speed limits go.... if its 45mph and everyone else is doing 50 or even 55, then everyone expects you to do that as well. YOU are backing up traffic and causing people to swerve around you. We know its a law, but in most cases around me, you can safely go 60mph in a 40.

And yes, people really should slow down while turning. I've seen too many people around these beaches here get hit or nearly hit by cars turning too quickly when they are walking across the sidewalk.
