and people who pass multiple cars at once.
That is definitely one of my peeves!
OK, I have to defend this one, cause I do it. There is only one road I do it on because of the way the road is. Its between Springfield and Poplar Bluff, route 60. Its a two lane highway (which they they are currently adding two more lanes too) and the Big trucks just drive me crazy and go slow and there are usually more than one. The only reason I can pass them is there are long straight streches (some times a couple miles long) and you can see the whole way down for on coming traffic.
Thats another one of my peeves, getting stuck behind a slow truck and you can't really see anything, feel like I am getting no where.
Oh, and another is when I get stuck in a line of cars and the lead car won't pull over to let the 20 cars behind it by.

Well its okay in some situations. Just not on a busy road. I have done it when the two cars ahead of me refused to pass a small tractor, but it definately wasn't on a busy road.

Thought of another one, not so much as a persons fault but someone is to blame, timed stoplights. I hate those! They alway manage to change just before I get there, and what makes it worst is when it changes and there is nobody there to warrant a change!

Some that nug the hell outta me : No turn signals. Honking when you're 10 cars back from the light that JUST turned green, people who have no idea what an alternate merge is, finally : people who cut in front of you only to slow down.
Yes I hate when someone cuts in front and then slows down- just get behind me numnut!

Thanks Rabbit. That annoys the hell outta me. I don't speed by any means. Usually within 5mph either way of the limit unless I'm on the NJ tpk then it's no holds barred. Naturally some dope will fly past and cut in front of me only to slow down to 50. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. And add to it the bad cell phone talker. Can't drive in a straight line while talking... good one.

Northey, the transit authority in NY is now testing a GPS device for city buses that will automatically change the lights as buses approach in order to keep the buses moving. It's great for mass transit, but maaaaaaaaaaaaan is it gonna be a mess for everyone else.

Well, some one mentioned "Bad" cell phone users,.......
IMHO, they are all "Bad". My neighbor lost his leg when some stupid "B" pulled out in front of him. Yes, she was on her phone, didn't even hang up after she had wiped him out. He was just tryin' to get home on his Harley.
I feel that people who drive while on their phone are overwhelmed by their own perceived importance. If you talk on the phone while drivin', you're no friend of mine. 
Had a "B" dang near drive up my arse when I was headed home while riding my Bike. C'mon people, hang up and drive. You can make the call when you get to your destination. Is the extra 10 or 15 minutes really gonna make or brake you? I doubt it very much. 
.....and one more.
People who will fly by just to cut you off at the next exit, only 50 yds away.
( I now carry a pocket full of B-B's. If ya get too close to my arse, you'll get a peppering to the front of your car. 
People just don't react to flashin' the brake light. They are usually on their dang phone.  )
Now, I dont advocate violance, but when you put my life in danger, it's a matter of self preservation. Me first, and you don't even make the list.
