Lots of automotive journalists periodically create a list of people's worst driving habits. They all tend to be the same, ie, following too close, left lane bandits, etc. The things that bug me are different, so a while back I published a list of my own. Here are some more observations that I've never seen anyone else complain about.
- honking to say "you jerk", instead of using your horn only to let an unwary driver know of your presence.
- honking when the in front car is waiting for pedestrians.
- "pushing" slower drivers like my wife, who is in the right lane. Recently, I had a guy in a pickup tailgate me in the right lane, and when I finally turned off Bayview he gave me the finger.
- stop 3 feet into intersection from a side street. Cyclists really love this one.
- people who pass with a speed differential of 0.001 km/h. Worse if they are SUVs with HID lamps and your side mirror don't dim.
- motorhome drivers who don't pull over occasionally on winding roads
- people with badly adjusted headlamps
- people who merge at low speeds or even stop on the on-ramp
- people who don't wave when you let them in ( ok, I'm reaching here)
- articles like this written by self righteous webmasters
