10 Bad Drivers and the Bad Things They Do

1. Turn Signals - They don't use them or put them on at the last second. I want to know why you are suddenly braking! They use them after they enter a turn lane. Duh! I know what you are doing now!
2. Left Turns - On a four lane highway, they turn into the far right lane. Turn into the left lane first. Look, and then change lanes. This especially troubling when two lanes are turning left. Thanks for pushing me into the ditch! And they don't know why you are blowing your horn.
3. Yield or Merge - They don't know the difference. Merge means you have to let me in! Yield means don't shove me out of the way!
4. Changing Lanes - They see a car indicating it wants to change lanes and speeds up to stop them. If you see my turn signal, you have to let me change lanes!
5. Passing a Merging Car - They are behind a car signaling a lane change and when a gap appears, they take it and cut off the merging car. Thanks a bunch you inconsiderate b******! They even do this when following a car down an entrance ramp!
6. Two or More Motorcycles at a Stop Sign - When it is the lead motorcycle's turn to go, the whole group goes. Hey, it's my turn now. One motorcycle equals one car.
7. Passing - After following a slow car on a two lane highway, you start to pass and the car speeds up so you can't pass. Moron!
8. Divided Highway Driving - They drive in the left lane even if they are the slowest driver. Please pull over. It's dangerous passing on the right. They drive side by side for miles. Hey! I would like to pass this year! They love that left lane so much, they reach the end of the entrance ramp and change multiple lanes at once to get there. Change one lane at a time, please.
9. Pass Then Turn - They pass you, pull in front, then immediately brake to turn. What the f***. You looking to have me in your back seat?
10. Last Minute Turns - Back to the left lane huggers, they suddenly cross multiple lanes of traffic to make that exit. Can't think that far ahead, huh? Daydreaming, huh? More important then everyone else, huh?

There are more. Speeders, tailgaters, high beam no-dimmers, semi trucks hogging left lanes. Drivers know the mechanics; steering, accelerating, braking. But they don't seem to know the fine points. The things that are supposed to make it easy on the rest of us to SHARE the road. Manners are gone. Same goes for pedestrians and office workers and shoppers, etc. I don't know when parents stopped teaching their kids manners. But, it seems to late now. How can you teach what you don't know. Anyway, those are my top 10. What are yours?
