After reading all of these, I'm having a hard time making up my own list of peeves while driving, which is funny, as I drive for hours daily.

The one that gets to me actually scares me, as people doing it nearly killed me, and now, I'm incredibly cautious.

Years ago, when training for my G2 driving test, I was told by my instructor that it is safe and ok to turn right if there are two lanes, while oncoming traffic has a green left turning signal.

More recently, it has become popular in my city to turn left, and not turn into the left-most lane, but the right or center lane, making wide turns like a truck or city bus. Its regularly done by vans, SUV's, and small cars.

I was nearly hit on my side (driver's side) by a huge van because of this dangerous maneuver. And I was watching, like I always do! The driver was turning fine, so I take my foot off the brake and start to turn my tires, when the van speeds up mid-turn, and makes a move for the right lane, just to speed by the other drivers in front of him that had turned left.

Scary. Shit.

The more I drive, the more cautious and observant I become. I do my best to stay off high traffic roads, move away from dangerous drivers, and always ALWAYS signal.
I love love LOVE driving on the highway/freeway. I think I could be a truck driver, as its almost thrilling to me. I make regular summer road trips now, driving across states, fun times.
