Oh, I agree with you and this drives me crazy, too.
Other road issues that bug me:
People who use the middle turning lane as a passing lane by speeding through them to get in front of cars rather than waiting for the opportunity to enter the traffic flow. They do this in front of my apartment complex all the time when I'm trying to turn into it. There will be a car in the middle lane speeding up to get in front of me rather than let me in and take my spot on the road. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.....
People who refuse to let you merge when entering the interstate and it is backed up with traffic. You're not going anywhere people! What does it hurt to let a car in front of you?!! Which leads into my more generalized annoyance with people who seem to think they are losing something if they allow someone to enter traffic in front of them, whether it is merging or passing. It drives me crazy. I don't understand it.
