There are all kinds of driving habits that annoy some of us more than others, and was in a discussion last night with guys at my daughters swim meet (they won!) and it made me think a pet peeves thread might be interesting. We covered the following driving ones last night:

  1. Not using turn signals (seems like the skipped teaching this in North Carolina)
  2. Coming to a complete stop in a merge lane rather than matching the speed of the traffic and merging
  3. Lane ending and merge peeves...this one was split into two camps:
    1. First camp....those who don't like people who use the empty lane and drive to the front
    2. Second camp...those who are baffled why people don't use the empty lane -it was paved for a reason. This has been the discussion for traffic engineers world wide. England created the "Zipper Merge" to solve for this and it has been very successful. MN tried to copy the zipper merge and it failed miserably (because they didn't change the lines on the road!). Concept is--both lanes end and merge to one new lane in the middle.
  4. Using center turn lane to turn into and then merge into traffic (this one was new to me....I do this ALL the time exiting my office- didn't know this pissed people off...but still do it)

For those with kids.....how about lights left on???? LOL

Can't say that I read Glassman's entire list but saw a couple that puts my mind in a rage....people chewing with their mouth open, and the noise some people make while eating. Someone Crunching ice makes me want to punch something, as well as the smacking sound some people make with their lips while eating or chewing gum....it is so bad that I should probably see someone about it:-/

@Julian. Your #4 is what I was taught in high school. "The center lane is for starting and ending left hand turns". So IMHO you're in the right, I'll back you up on that one.

I'd add to @Glassman list. "Salesmen who put things in your hand and then won't take it back when you're not interested"

@itsdgm I've looked up #4 and it is illegal in most states to use a center left turn lane for anything other than as you say beginning or making a left turn. It is not to be used to turn left INTO and then merge into traffic.

My office is on a busy road that I'd never turn left onto if I didn't do this, and turning right and going around 3 sides of a block on the next left seems ridiculous. So I'm breaking the law....

Number one for me: Drivers who don't know how to properly navigate a median between a divided highway. You are suppose to drive to the outside..... the driver coming from the other direction does the same. The something magical happens.... both drivers can actually see oncoming traffic!
