things that piss me off when I drive

* people who drive too slow on left lanes.

Dude, if there are cars passing you on the left AND RIGHT, you are going too slow, I don't care if you're going "the speed limit". MOVE TO THE RIGHT! Unless you are a cop, it's not your job to police the highway. If you're going on a single lane road and there are more then 4 cars close behind you and none in front, YOU ARE GOING TOO SLOW. Go faster or pull over so the traffic can move!

* people who merge in highway traffic expecting the other drivers to slow down to "let them in".

When you are on the ramp, ACCELERATE TO CRUISING SPEED! Trust me, it will be easier to merge in traffic if you are traveling at the same speed as the other traffic! If I have to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting you when you merge in, YOU ARE NOT GOING FAST ENOUGH!

* people doing other things when driving, when they obviously can't!

Look, if you can't chew and drive at the same time, DON'T! If you drink coffee, make sure you do it in such a way that the cup DOESN'T obstruct your view. Seeing the road and the other cars is sort of important when you drive. When you drive, that's where your attention should be, if you need to pacify your kids, PULL OVER, don't turn around to yell at them as you're flying down the road at 75mph.

* people slowing down to gawk at accident scenes.

I absolutely love to be stuck in traffic for 30 minutes just to get to the "source" and see it's an accident ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY! Let me try to make it easy to understand, if there are no cars in front of you and many behind you, GO FASTER! DO NOT SLOW DOWN TO LOOK AT ACCIDENTS.

* LOOK before you change lanes!

Using the blinker doesn't mean you don't have to look, before you change lanes, MAKE SURE THERE IS NO ONE COMING ON THAT LANE asshole!
