(14,180 posts)1) People going at least 10-15 mph over the speed limit (45) on a road that is within city limits.
2) People going at least 10-15 mph over the speed limit (35) on a road that is within city limits but closer to downtown.
3) People running lights long after the yellow has turned to red, especially at busy intersections.
4) People tailgating if you don't do as they do (see 1) and 2) above). This includes while driving through construction zones.
5) People who blow up on your ass to get you out of their way so that they can shave one or two minutes -- if that -- off their drive; more often than not you'll come across them stuck either behind slower traffic or at a light that they somehow couldn't run, so what was really gained by all that, I ask?
6) People weaving in and out of lanes and making lane changes with precious little room between you and them.
7) People who have to be first when the road merges into one lane in construction zones, so they keep blowing up alongside slower traffic and then force their way in at the last minute -- like when they reach the arrow sign that you could see from a mile back, telling them to merge.
I have come to hate driving with the heat of a thousand burning suns. There are really no words for how I feel. And, in a few minutes, I'm off to do it again, this morning IN THE RAIN!!!!!
