Here in Utah, I would say its when they slow down when its barely sprinkling outside. I mean I understand if its raining fairly heavily or is just downright pouring...but sprinkling people...come on...we live in Utah for heavens sakes...it snows here...they drive worse in the rain than they do when its snowing.

"What is one thing that drivers do where you live that drives you crazy"
Leave their common sense and driving aptitude at home. Seriously I know a lot of drivers that do it. Then they end up in wrecks because they were going too fast, driving too selfishly, taking unnecessary risks, merging wrong, playing keepaway, talking on the cellphone, blasting crappy music, or tailgating. Don't get me started on bad weather. It seems they all get scared of just a little rain or a little snow.

OMG!! where to begin!!
im live WAY up state of NY - NEAR Canada alnmost - BUT were FROM Long Island NY ( that fish looking island off the end of the state)lol
well I wont even go into the NY drivers OH BOY!! id be here ALL NIGHT!!
- Up here where the population is more elderly or College age
( we have a college nearby and two an hour away and one 30 minutes in other direction ) lol
so they drive up and down my street with Music (?) wel not sure its music but its ALL BUMPING AND BLARING LOUD!!
i dont mean the *normal* thumping that is whats actualy PUSHING the car dwown the road but WAY louder than that even!!- im NO WAY OLD!! i still go to very loud concerts!! (last being Judas Priest) but that is just stupid!!
and those that leave thier blinker on for miles and ur stuck behind them! :( OR they have NASTY STINKY smoke from thier muffler :( YUCK!!
-they blink the left and turn RT! oh man!! - I thought we had to know our left from our right!!?? take ur test again!!
( yeah i do yell out the window alot) not so much to the elderly tho.
they just drive slow which really doesnt bother me cuz most i have seen do atlest 30-35 which in the places i drive thats fine - but its when they are that slow on the highway!!
OR they put on the blinker then slow down to take the turn but STOP instead! OMG!!!
needless to say i dont drive very often!! i work at home so i go out wheni need something and try to go mid morning ( 10-noon) when the elderly are already back from the stores cuz they are up at 4am waiting for he markets to open - lol
or later at night after 7pmn they are sleeping!! but then thiers the college kids to deal with which is better sometimes lol

The thing that drives me completely bananas is people talking on their mobile phones while driving, it is so dangerous and in this country agains the law but they still do it, I have even seen people turning corners while talking on the mobile phone, I think if people are known to be talking on a mobile phone when in an accident and someone is killed they should be charged with murder...steps off soapbox.

I agree with you. People who talk on their phones while driving are completely distracted. And what they don't realize is that its holding the phone that is distracting them. If they put it on speaker or used a hand free device they could have both hands on the wheel.

Merging lanes on the interstate are not that long, and it irritates me to no end when drivers won't let me, or someone else, get into the appropriate lane. I mean, we run out of road if they won't let us merge. It's just dangerous and selfish behavior.

Tailgaters.......I had one on my tail driving down the interstate through the twin cities. There were four lanes and no traffic early on a Sunday morning. She stayed right on my butt. Finally she passes me....drives up to the next car and rides his tails...go figure. All that room and she stay on someone's rear end!

I am in Upstate/Central NY and people are RUDE! You could be sitting there begging for a break to get into traffic and they just drive by and never think to let you in. Some even stop and block you in. GRRR.
I laugh every winter because the first snow, it is as though no one ever drove in snow before. They are all real slow and skidding around. This is NY! We get tons and tons of snow every year. Do people lose the ability to drive in a little snow because we didn't have any for a few months? We go into full panic mode that first snow like we are in California and it's a big surprise. It is funny but also dangerous when people go so slow and don't know how to drive in snow that first snowfall.
And they don't STOP at stop signs. We bought this house for several reasons but one was that there was a stop sign out front. We figured, when we had kids, the traffic would never speed by and would always stop.
HAHAHA. My kids are 21 and 17 now and alive because they never went near the road. No one stops at the stop sign. If anything, they take pleasure in going right through it. I hate that. Even the school bus goes through it without a full stop. People really should stop at the stop signs and stop thinking it is OK because there are no cops around. There ARE kids around. I am just glad my kids were spared from nuts out front but my dog almost wasn't. He ran out in the road when he was a puppy and a car was coming down the street fast and never considered stopping at the sign... He squealed like crazy and burned rubber stopping because my dog was right in the road at the stop sign. Jerk.
Rant over. :)

So they do the "California" Stop. I can't stand that. I know how you feel about the snow. I just can't believe that people that live in the state claiming the best snow on earth could forget how to drive in it. I never look forward to winter just because of the idiots on the road

Hi there, what's been up to lately buddy?
Well, here in Philippines, itr doesn't really matter if it's summer here or rainy season, or if there's a typhoon or whatever, as the drivers here drives me crazy everytime! LOL
Actually not all of the drivers are like that, like a bad drivers but some of them feels like they are the king of the roads!
I hate those drivers who drives so rude on the road.
That's why when i have my own car and actually driving it, i will not drive so fast and rude on the roads.
Have a nice day ahead and happy posting and earning here in myLot.
Godspeed,
Kiko
