I live in Idaho, where people proudly declare that "drunk driving isn't a crime, it's a sport" - apart from that, I hate SLC drivers who do 90 on the highway in the daytime and 60- once the sun starts to go down.

Amen!

Think they scared a cow may have jumped the fence.

I hate drivers that pull out in front of me and go 100 yards before turning left.

I can literally vizualize me driving my truck over their little car...

Where to begin...

- Truckers who insist on using the left lane. You're not allowed to. Get the *** out.
- People who ride my *** when I'm already going ABOVE the speed limit.
- People who double park. I don't care if you're making a drug deal or buying a quart of milk, go park elsewhere.
- People who insist on staying in the left lane, going 30mph, with their hazards on.
- People who blast obnoxiously loud and shitty music.
- People who own mini vans with spinner rims.
- Old people who drive.
- People who do 50 in a parking lot.
- Teenagers.
- Asian drivers.
- School buses. Or public transportation buses.
- People waiting for said buses.
- Drivers from Boston.
- Trust fund babies who think that just because daddy bought them a brand new Corvette for their 17th birthday, they think they have the right to speed down a residential street.
- Parents who don't want their precious darlings to wait for the school bus in the pouring (READ: drizzling) rain and park in the middle of the street to sit there and wait for the bus.
- Kids who don't get the hell out of the street.
- People who don't have their children locked up in car seats and are constantly stopping to turn around and yell at them.

I really could go on and on, but this list will do for now.

People who STOP before taking that right hand turn when there is no Stop sign..

Pulling out in front so I stomp my brake and then then turn in one block when no one was behind me and you could have waited 5 seconds..

Asshats that decide at the red light instead of being the second guy in the left lane.. decide to be the first car in the right lane so 2 seconds before I get to the light then move their car from a dead stop over... once again slamming my braks....

People who walk in the road...

Black people wearing black at night walking in the middle of the road before my house where the speed limit is 55... bad idea man seriously way to many close calls cause you know im doing at least 60...

CYCLIST!!!!!!

School buses that stop on the highway... load up the kids THEN TURN DOWN THE STREET THE KIDS LIVE ON!!!! Turn first! (really dont get that logic)

People who blare their music at a light.

People who live their radio on loud while pumping gas...

and pretty much anything anyone has or will say...

I hate driving, period. :-( I've gotten in two accidents already. One was on my learner's permit, I parked on top of a hill with my Dad there showing me to put the parking break on and put the truck in gear (was a manual, not an automatic) and we left for maybe 10 minutes to get papers out of his office. Came back and the truck was crashed through the high school chemistry lab at the bottom of the hill four feet from hitting a gas line. ._.
The other was trying to back out of a tight, crowded parking lot. I was going slow, but turned a little too sharp because I was afraid to hit some kids and hit a shiny new red truck with my old beat up truck instead. ;; (Yes, yes, I am a woman driver. And I so much prefer it when my husband drives!)
When I do drive, though, I hate people not using turn signals, when people step right out into the road in front of me (I know pedestrians have the right of way, but if we are both getting to the crosswalk at the same time and you just waltz out in front of me before I have time to stop, then we are going to have problems D:) and I just KNOW that every time I see a bicyclist or skateboarder, they are going to lose their balance and fall right as I get up to them and I am going to run over their head and it will make my car messy and be a million pounds of paperwork and be traumatic and I just wish they would not be so close to the road! /nervous

tl;dr version: I never, ever drive unless I absolutely HAVE to.
