What other people do that annoys you when sharing the road?

I don’t see why it’s such an issue for people to stay on the right if they are driving slow. It’s not a question of legality. Just don’t be an a-hole and occupy the passing lane if another car wants to pass you. I’ve personally see such crazy road rage that I think it’s just plain dumb.

As a father with 2 kids who follows the rules of the road to keep my family safe, I think there is a difference between using an overtaking lane correctly, and being a moron.
If you are in the passing lane and you are not passing, you are wrong. If you are passing someone but you yourself are driving under the limit to do so, and someone behind you is moving faster, and you are not close to overtaking, move over.
If you are in the passing lane and you are speeding up on someone who is passing another vehicle at the speed limit, you are wrong. Using the left lane is not a right to speed and if you think it is you are a muppet. Speed limits are a law, as much as everything else on the road is, including passing lane laws. The speed limit is the speed limit.
If you want to ***** and moan about people who are driving the speed limit, you while you speed, breaking separate law , you have no grounds, as you yourself are breaking a law. Its just retarded and arrogant to be honest.

Would just like to point out, people that say they "never speed", are just as hypocritical as the ones who say they "never use a cell phone while driving". Really?
If one is breaking the law, they one has no right to ***** about others doing so. I have said repeatedly that just because you are passing doesn't give you the right to be a jerk. But that goes the other way too.
Bottom line, we all need to be more courteous on the roads and highways.

Agreed
Agreed also.

Now the the phone thing. I can say beyond a shadow of I doubt I never use a cell phone while driving. The only cell phone I have is a unactivated one . I keep it in the car should I ever need 911. I have my voip phone at the house. There's nothing that important I need a phone in my hand all the time. I get some people have to have them for work. So yes there are some of us who can truly say they don't ever use a phone and drive.

I've got so many, but I'll just pick one--picking a horrible spot to pull over to the side of the road to wait, talk on your cell, etc. I'm not talking about emergencies. People don't take into consideration how close they are to an intersection, that people trying to pull out may not be able to see around them, that they are in a busy area where it's hard to get by; and they could pull up 100 yards, or pull into a side street, etc., etc. They just decide--"I need to stop, so I'll do it right here." No need to figure out if they should park there. And they are the same people that just start slowing down for no apparent reason, so I don't know if they want me to pass them or not--no signal; no hazard lights. Just generally clueless to the world around them.

1. Don’t block people if you are slower, if you see people coming faster than you, MOVE OVER! If you think they are going too fast breaking the law, well the police will get them. I always let people pass me on interstate, but only 30% of the time people would do that, sigh
2. When there is a bumper to bumper traffic, there always will be someone moving so slow that leaves like 5 cars space between him and the car in the front, really?! Really!!!!! Just get up there and don’t slow the traffic even more!
3. Yes, the careless people using wiper on the freeway. Before you do so, make sure there is no car behind you, there are at least 3 times that I just washed my car, and someone use it the **** wiper to wash their windshield, and my whole front got sprayed...

100% agree. Even if you're going 10 over the limit, you're not entitled to the left lane... Better to be safe and just let them pass. I saw a video once where a Camaro driver was going pretty fast, weaving through traffic, and got stuck behind some slow pickup truck in the left lane. There was a semi truck in the right lane, so he couldn't go around. The pickup truck appeared to be going faster than the semi, but the pickup ended up staying pretty much even with the semi after a while, making it seem like the pickup slowed down in reaction to the other driver's speeding. Obviously the Camaro driver was having a bad day, as he tried to go around the other driver with all four tires off the pavement on the left, and ended up losing control and crashing into the left lane hogger, who also crashed into the semi truck. Granted, the Camaro driver was in the wrong, but it all could have been avoided if the guy in the left lane hadn't provoked the Camaro driver.

I used my phone to listen to my music when driving. And since I only drive 20 miles in a day with my M, I don’t like anyone bother me enjoy the driving and listening to my B&O. So do I use my phone? Yes. Do I look at it or lay hands on it? No, lol
btw i like the new iPhone feature that you can set the phone to know you are driving so you won’t get bothered when people call.
