My Driving Pet Peeves, Part 2

missouriWhen I left on my road trip this past weekend, I was hoping the rental car company would’ve given me one of the Ford cars on the lot to drive. But alas, that didn’t happen. That’s probably what set me off in a bad mood and made me notice people’s annoying driving habits on the way to Georgia. I posted four of my pet peeves on Monday, but here’s four more.

1. Speeding in general – I already mentioned that people who speed through residential neighborhoods tick me off, but what about the ones who speed on the highways? We’re all trying to get somewhere as fast as we can, but we obey the laws. Everybody else should, too. Regardless of how slow you go, your destination will still be there. But if you go to fast, you may never make it there.

2. Oblivious drivers – These are the people that simply don’t know what’s going on around them. You run into these people everywhere, but it’s most dangerous on the roads. They’re the ones sitting there until you honk when the light turns green or the ones who turn in front of you without even seeing you.

3. No turn signals – Is it really that hard to turn your turn signal on? You don’t even have to take your hand off the steering wheel to do it. It’s such an easy maneuver that saves everybody around you the guesswork of what you’re going to do.

4. Giving the unconventional right-of-way – This might seem nitpicky, but I hate pulling up to a four-way stop seconds after the car perpendicular to me stops. He then gives me the wave to go before him. Just go already!

Now that I’ve vented, I feel much better. What do other drivers to you that annoy you the most?
