What is the deal with some people when they drive?

Some leave their signal light on with no intention of turning or changing lanes slowly dredging in front of you...
Others like to come to a full stop before they turn off the road into a parking lot or drive way, at 5 in the after noon.
There are those that like to feel the bumps of the lane markers, and occasionally drift over in the other lane for a few, to check it out...then go back
Oh...the phantom traffic jams...LOVE THOSE!!!
I know there are more irritating driving scenarios...lol Just cant remember them or think of them at the moment...lol

Well I get irritated everytime I get out on the roads, people just do not pay attention, or do not care about the other drivers.What happened to turn signals? Most people do not use them any longer.Why do people get in the fast lane on the interstate and drive like a turtle?People are always just pulling out infront of me, I will have to try hard not to hit them, most of the time, they will have a cell phone glued to their ear!!And then there are the Sunday Drivers, that drive at a snales pace, and have traffic all tied up beind them.

Yeah I hate turtles on the freeway...there are those that always like to get on the free way going 40 to 50 mph, and keep going that speed when they get on and they happen to get on at just the right time in front of you and continue to drive slow after messing up your driving mojo.
Or seeing the person next to you almost running into you, and cutting you off, just to find them talking to someone on their cell phone. That is why I have a blue tooth headset... and my numbers voice activated.

I think everyone has their own driving routine. And we all have things about the way other people drive that get under our skins. That is a fact. Sometimes you just want to scream. Best thing to do is get from point A to point B without becoming a victim of road rage. That is hard enough to do these days.

I got you beat. I was on the interstate behind this old lady. She actually came to a stop, with blinker on and got off the interstate. Almost causing a huge pile up, because I had to slam on my brakes. I have had the blinkers, but they keep going. I had so many of those, that now when I'm at a 4 way stop, I will wait to make sure that this person is really going to turn. I get the ones that speed past you, to only slow down and go below the speed limit.
My dad will drift over to the middle lane, heck he's drifted over to the shoulder, only because he gets tired. I only do it when I'm tired. Never had the phantom traffic jams, our road is under contstruction, so it has been causing a lot of problems. I have driven by once and rudely commented that the road would probably be fixed by the time my oldest leaves home, which she's 11 now. I have more, and I have to go somewhere today, so I surely will see a lot of people's wonderful driving skills in action.

Hi,
I agree it often takes a lot of patience when you are out on the road. People seem to drive however they are used to or however their feelings of the day are dictating. If they are angry...they drive fast. If they are feeling calm...they drive slow. I just always take it with a grain of salt so to speak and try to be patient so I don't end up in any accidents.
cheers,

You'll find a lot of drivers witH irritating habits and even with habits that can be harmful not only to themselves but even to other motorists. I hate slow drivers who can't seem to go faster than ten miles per hour and those who just zig zag across lanes without even any warning or signal, drivers who just step on their brakes without regard to whether there is someone just behind them. There oughta be a law against such menaces.
