Saw this and thought, yeah, this about sums up what I feel about other road users
Tailgates you for miles. As soon as you change lanes, so do they.
Swerves in front of you and from another lane promptly slams on their brakes to do 20 in a 30 zone. Meanwhile, everyone else goes around you.
Pulls out in front of you even though they have been watching you approach the intersection for a couple hundred feet.
Has to stop before every turn.
Women applying their makeup or men shaving while driving erratically with all the mirrors pointed aimlessly.
Tailgates for miles even though you are in the right lane. Finally passes you but then swerves in front of you and exits.
Suddenly swerves in front of you from another lane and pokes along. When you try to change lanes to go around, they speed up thus cutting you off and everyone that was behind you goes around.
Tailgates you for miles even though you are in the right lane but all of a sudden turns off onto a side road.
Loves to play chicken. You are stuck behind while they want to turn left. The car going the other way also wants to turn left. Both sit there looking at each other.
Approaching a stop light, the driver comes screeching to a halt hundreds of feet behind the last car and then proceeds roll very slowly until they are right on the bumper of the car in front of them.
If first at a stop light they will inch slowly out into the interscetion. When the light turns green, they sit there with no idea as what to do next.
Changes lanes constantly while behind two slow cars trying to decide which one is going faster.
Steps on the brakes every 50 feet.
Acts like they want to break the speed limit, but as soon as it is reached, they put on the brakes and slows down to 15 miles an hour under the speed limit and the slowly speeds up again only to slow down again. . .
Tailgates for miles and when passing, they either only move up into your blind spot or will simply stay even with you.
Signals for a left turn after they are already in the left turn lane or signals for right turn after they are halfway through it.
Changes lanes in the middle of the intersection.
Begins signalling miles in advance of the place they want to turn. This is most fun if you are waiting on a side street and they want to turn right. You start to go because you see they are turning, but they doesn't want to turn where you are and both almost have an accident.
Swerves in front as you both are approaching a stop light, just so they can be first.
Changes lanes the instant you start to signal and gets the spot you were trying to reach.
"Sympathy Brakes." If they see someone else apply their brakes, they will do the same.
Drives with their radar detector 10 miles an hour under the speed limit in the right lane.
Continues to brake even though the car in front has already turned off the street.
Keeps 6 car lengths in front of them. Even during heavy traffic, they will slow down every time someone gets in front of them to preserve the distance.
You decide to be nice and let them onto the street, so you stop. They just sit there and look at you. You decide they aren't going, but at the same time they decide to go, but you are now in the way and you get a very dirty look.
Drives right against the center line thus preventing you from seeing around so you can pass.
Begins signalling for a lane change, but then mysteriously stays in the same lane. When you change lanes to go around, they pull over in front of you.
Drives side-by-side with you as you are stuck behind a slow car. They keep a nice hole in front of them which you can't reach.
