    So true on the defensive driving, great advice there. I credit driving defensively as the reason I have never had an accident in 18yrs. That and a little luck.....or perhaps superb skill lol :D.

    Also being a motorcyclist you learn defensive driving real fast, or you won't be one for long.

    I've got a some pet peeves of other drivers. The first is probably the biggest for me.

    -Those who are constantly varying their speed. They speed up, then slow down a good 5mph or so constantly and don't maintain a constant speed. Very annoying.

    -Those who do not signal before they turn of give you any warning. They simply all of sudden slow down and turn right in front of you.

    -People who pull out in front of you (or will cut you off) like say out of a parking lot and then don't speed up to the flow the of traffic and make you slow way down.

    -People that for some reason or another tap their brakes while going up hill.

    -People that constantly are tapping their brakes on and off while going simply going down the road.

    -Those that weave in and out of the shoulder like their preoccupied.

    -People that go below the speed limit up a hill, then once they reach the top they take off and fly down the hill infront of you now going faster than the speed limit. Yes, going slower up hills can save gas, but it's especially annoying when they're going below the speed limit.

    -Those who slow way down for the corners when going at such a slow speed that is not particularly needed.

    Everything. I literally hate everything and everyone on the road that is effing blankety blanking retarded. From uppity soccer moms in a 40k "crossover" to elderly people who shouldnt drive to the retarded gangsters and ricers. In the end we all get to the same place.
    My top 3 though are:
    People who cant merge, or merge more than one lane at a time.
    soccer moms.
    people that dont appreciate the conditions they are driving in (fog, rain...)

    I guess my biggest peeve is people that drive too slow.

    Especially in the Sonora area it's really curvy and hilly and people that aren't used to that will almost come to a complete stop on some turns!!! :rant: I had to down shift all the way to first the other day. Then some of them won't move off to the right when a passing lane comes up!

    here is another one, not necissarily driving, but when i park in a parking spot at school and some douche decides to park right in the middle of the lot so that about 6 cars cant get out because they are to lazy to go to the other lot and walk an extra 400 yards. honestly most people around here could use the extra walking. this happened yesterday to my roommate and we had to call the campus police to get the car towed so we could leave and go fishing. delayed us almost an hour.
