Oh yes! If there's one thing that pisses me off, are drivers who act recklessl on the road and can't lift a finger of the wheel to indicate where they are going, or taking over. What about you?

As a cyclist they drive me nuts. You cannot tell where they are going from a roundabout or turning. They also frequently overtake only to turn left in front of you a few moments time. I have been known to leave notes on people's cars over this.

I'm always cautious when driving past cyclists. I wouldn't think of cycling on the road myself though lol. Every car that goes past would give me a sigh of relief haha.

Hi TDiamond, Yes, these drivers appear to be just plain selfish on the road. They don't care about the other drivers or letting others know what they are going to do. Tailgaters are probably the worst ones to me. Next up are the ones who signal left or right 2 seconds before they go left or right. Arghhhhh! Why can't they signal sooner, if they're going to do it at all? I try and signal immediately after I pass the street before the street where I am going to turn. I think everyone should do that. Some drivers just don't use common sense either.

Yes, you'd assume it's common sense! Unfortunatly, some people still don't know where to find it...

hey friend... yeah I definitely agree with you at this point..I very much hate it too.. besides, here the riders are the worse dangerous part on the road because they would keep texting while riding the motorcycles! my gosh it is very much annoying that they can't leave the vehicle aside to finish up texting or calling! there are those who would keep on taking pictures of themselves on the highway! all these negative movements would definitely disturb and cause accidence. besides those who would tend to be sooooo sleepy on the road that you can see their heads are swinging lefts and rights

People not using their blinkers is one of the most common and yet most annoying things that drivers do. It drives me insane. I cannot tell you how many time I've missed my chance to turn out of a street because someone turning off of the street I was turning onto didn't have their blinker on to let me know that it was okay to go. Or people just switching lanes right in front of me without even turning on their blinker. It's dangerous.

It's dangerous, and it's a pain the ***. I couldn't agree more.

I met a car today when driving. The road has two lanes in one side, it drove a "S" shaped between the two lanes in a very fast speed, without turn on its cornering lamps. WTF!

I'm not sure if I'd be more angry or scared in that situation, who would do that?

Ugghh how about the drivers that decide with no notification that they are now going to make a right turn from the left lane... Then get upset because you did not allow them enough room.... So inconsiderate!

Inconsiderate of other road users, I definitely agree.

Yes, They are very annoying and deserve to be punished. I can't understand why don't they are aware of other people around them, they seem to be in their own world all the time.

Oh yes this is one of the reasons I don't drive anymore. To many crazy people on the road that don't signal, talking on the phone and not paying attention. Its very scary when you are driving and others are not following the rules of the road.

I don't drive, but I hate those drivers who doesn't use their signal lights, specially when you're trying to cross the road, you have no idea whether they would go straight or they would turn the corner. And sometimes they look at you like you did something wrong, when they were the ones who did not indicate that they would be turning the corner, I mean, I was in the pedestrian lane, so obviously I'm going to cross the road right. Argh. There are just some drivers who really shouldn't be on the road.

These kinds of drivers are annoying. We can't read their minds when we are on the road with them. When drivers don't or won't let you know what they intend to do, they take all of our lives in their hands. these are the people who can cause unnecessary accidents. All drivers should show respect for each other. It makes for a more pleasant driving experience.

That's one of my pet peeves, too. I mean, is it that hard to be courteous to the drivers around you? So many of my friends change lanes and turn without signaling. I've given up on trying to get them to signal, at this point I just roll my eyes at them.

Better yet, how about the drivers who pull out in front of you while you're driving 30-40 miles per hour. Then, they do not quickly accelerate! I have to practice much temperance in those instances.
