1. People making left/right turns...they see you coming AND they still make the turn and you have to brake for them.
2. slow drivers in the fast lane. Worst are the slow drivers caused by talking on the cell.

3. The older asian women that wear those darth vader visors.

I hate it when....

1) People that slow down because they think that the car is going to hit the wall / flip at 20 mph. Its bad enough you were crawling to start with, but now you just look stupid. What the hell can happen at 20 mph?!

2) When you want to make a right turn, but there is an idiot who stopped in the middle of the lane for the red light. Just enough for you not to be able to go through and enough to **** you the hell off.

3) Oh and Sunday Drivers. I hate you all (you know who you are).

Why is everyone hating on lound music?

When I hear a song that I havent heard for a long time, I always blast the music as loud as I can. A song only lasts for 4 minutes, and you stand at the light next to me for 2. Man up!

(FLAME ON!!!)

1. People that drive with high beams on either because they are dumb or one of the lowbeams is out and they are too cheap to stop and get a bulb.
2. People that tap their brakes for no reason......

A bunch of other stuff but that's the top 2

1. The semi/18 wheelers on the left lane and trying to pass another semi that doing 75 mph. You're talking about 10 minutes behind 2 semi's on both lanes one doing 77 mph and the another doing 75 mph...

2. People on the cell phone.

3. People driving with both feets and watching the brake light stay on all the time.

4. Soccer moms in the SUV or a mini van that start to raise her hand( give me some signal) becuase I have to stop at the stop light/stop sign/slower traffic....

5. To sum it up, Atlantan drivers range worse in the nation.

Let's see:

1) As mentioned before, people who turn left in front of you when there are me and another car. Is it so hard to wait for us to pass by?

2) People who double park when there is a space that would fit an oil tanker next to them.

3)This is the one that angers me the most. It applies to roads in NYC. People that refuse to stop before the crosswalk at a red light. They have a habit of rolling over the crosswalk and inch up more and more into the intersection. This positions them directly under the traffic light and when the light turns green they fail to get going because they can't see the traffic light right above their car. What is the HURRY?

4) People that put on their left turn signal just before they turn. I'm already stuck behind you. You sat at a red light for 2 minutes without signaling, why start now?

5) People that jump into the middle lane as soon as they get on the expressway before reaching proper lane speed. Meanwhile, I'm passing them on the right lane at 50mph.

6) People that wait till the last inch to merge onto the right lane from the highway entry lane.

I'm sure I have more. I just can't think of them right now.

1. Drivers that don't use turn signal
2. Drivers that turn in to cross your way when you are really close
3. I got to agree wid the pedestrian that take their merry little time to cross

Yeah.....few things in life treat the ears as good as Heavy Metal. AC/DC, KISS, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Quiet Riot, Motley Crue, Scorpion, Megadeath, Def Leppard, WASP, KIX, .....THAT's living...but I agree with you, and usually keep the windows up.

If you have ever heard AC/DC's Brian Johnson scream his way through " Shoot to Thrill " on a Lexus Mark Levinson stereo you'll know just what I mean.
