5 things other drivers do that irritate me....

[poltr1]

I was going to expand this list to 10 items, but I couldn't come up with enough items to fill the list. Maybe later.

5) Not using their turn signal.
4) Driving slow in the passing lane.
3) Tailgating.
2) Driving on the shoulder. (What's your hurry, people?)
1) Tossing lit cigarette butts out the window.

What are your driving peeves? Let's hear 'em.

People who merge early when a lane is closing. Once traffic has ground to a halt, best behavior is for cars to merge alternately at the point where the obstruction occurs. This is called a "zipper merge". Merging earlier simply slows down the traffic in the lane that isn't going away -- and it annoys the drivers in that lane (who see cars sliding ahead of them in the closing lane) so that they tend to not allow the folks to merge at the obstruction point!

Oh yeah. Especially when they cross solid white lines to do so.

I think one of my next 5 items on the list would include "people who don't follow the rule of alternating merging".
