Oh dear, I have so much that I don't even know where to begin...
- Drivers blazing through the intersection when the light is about to turn red. I get that if the light turns yellow just as you pass through the intersection, you proceed with caution as you cannot stop in time. However, I have a problem with people who have ample time to stop, and yet, speed through anyway. Almost half of the time I see those drivers doing that, the light would have turned red by then.
- Drivers that drive like snakes aka weave through traffic. I absolutely hate this when people use this tactic to shave off mere seconds of their time. All of that goes away when I reach them at a red light and you gotta question why they do it in the first place. It'll only be a matter of time before an accident happens all because they're allergic to being behind someone else.
- Drivers who don't use their turn signals. It doesn't take more than a second to activate it so you could communicate to others on the road what you intend to do. USE IT.
- Drivers who tailgate. Just overtake me if you're in a hurry. If you don't, I'll drive slower the closer you get so I have more time to react to what's in front of me when needed. If they end up hitting me in the rear because they were driving too closely, that's their fault. Bonus points if they're driving an expensive vehicle.
- Drivers being on their phones. It's distracting and takes attention away from the road. Sometimes, I see a car holding up traffic because someone was on their phone until another person honks at them.
- Speaking of honking, drivers using their horns when it really isn't needed. I legitimately cannot go through an entire day without a single person being a butt and honking their horn erratically for no reason. I'm not even in an urban area and yet, I hear a few different people honking their horns in the span of ten minutes, and that's when I'm inside my house or outside hanging laundry! I use the horn sparingly because people will always take the message in a negative way.
- Horrible BMW drivers. They're notorious for not using their turn signals most of the time.
- Horrible Audi Drivers.
- Horrible Mercedes drivers. I don't care about their status or what they have in life. I hate how they sometimes butt in to get through despite me signaling waaaay in advance to change lanes. I notice that a lot of the entitled drivers migrate to expensive luxury German cars. Strangely enough, I don't have much incidents with Porsche drivers.
- Half of the Acura drivers.
- Pick-up truck drivers. I feel like they use the size of their vehicle to intimidate others out on the road. It's annoying and I won't waste time with them because they're really stubborn and have overinflated egos. When two pick-up truck drivers get heated with each other, things get nasty. One time, I've witnessed an incident in front of my eyes when one pick-up truck driver weaved through the lanes suddenly to block the other one. This started all because the latter was honking at the former and I just kept a far distance away from them.
- When the lane merges into one and a single person speeds in at the very last second. Another one of those tactics that some people use to shave off seconds of their time. I check my surroundings, but I become hyperaware when the road merges into one lane because there's always going to be an impatient person who thinks it's a good idea to yeet themselves as the second lane ends. It's so dangerous that it might catch out other people and potentially cause accidents.
