Here's a few others:
*people that drive 35mph and clog up morning traffic when there is no one in front of them.
*people that slow down before they get on their merging lane. They should be doing this in the merging lane
*Old people driving. Nuff said.
*People texting while they drive. This should carry penalties right up their with drunk driving.

i hate how illegal immigrants and ghetto people drive crappy cars that break down which results in traffic. thats my theory anyway..
i also hate how everytime i make a lane switch, the lane im going into suddenly stops, and the one i WAS in starts moving.

What really pisses me off, I commute 75 miles every day. I take turns driving in a vanpool. 14 passenger E 350 Ford van. I try to leave a good following space between the car in front of me, every driver sees that and thinks that I made that space just for him/her to jump in and tail gate. I'd just love to squash that bitatch just to see her cry.

hate fools in crappy cars who zoom up to you forcing their shuddering cars to barely hit 90 then slow down and challenge you to show them up and when you do they almost blow up their cars trying to keep up.
holy run-on-sentence, i know.

If you're in the fast lane with open road ahead and you aren't eating it up as fast as the guy coming up behind you; GET YOUR RETARDED SON OF A BIZNITCH A$$ OUT THE MUTHAEFFIN WAY YOU MAVERICKY SOCIALIST *****... and then ever so kindly weave back in. Is that so hard to do?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Sheesh.
At least the Europeans got that right...

No matter how fast I'm going, if a Geo Metro creeps up from behind, I will signal and get out the way.

I blame the CHP for that one.
I recall going to traffic school in the 90s when the schools were taught by off duty or retired CHiPs and the instructor actually said, "it is their right to be in that #1 lane as long as they're not speeding. If you're the one who is speeding then YOU should be the one to have to go around the law abiding citizen."
And you can see this type of thinking any time you drive to/from Vegas - a line of cars in the #1 lane.
And I believe it was taught widespread as I never really saw that problem (failure to yield to faster traffic in the #1 lane) when I lived in Colorado. In fact, the native Coloradans used to joke that they knew who was from California because they didn't yield the #1 lane!

Pet Peeves
I'm not sure if this was posted already..... to lazy to read the previous posts.
I don't understand why drivers stop 5-10 feet from the crosswalk when coming to a intersection??? I thought everybody knew that there are sensors in the street and when a car is stopped on them that is what triggers the signal to change. If you dont trip the senors the light will probably never change or just take longer. Of course unless someone on the opposite side or other lane pulls up and trips the sensor.

My so cal experience.
Traffic = Karma... seems like no matter how hard you try to get ahead you dont get very far, or the person you passed 15 minutes ago is now 10 cars ahead as you sit still.
BUT THE THING I HATED..... stop sign or turning right on red. I came to a complete stop and get honked at.... i was like WOW.. its the law and i dont even let the car rock.. lol

I hate it when you're trying to make a right turn on a red light, trying to clear traffic, and some bastard to the lane left of you stops way into the crosswalk, blocking your view. ****ing hate that ****.
