How about people who drive slowly in the left lane? People who tailgait YOU when your following behind a truck or slow car? People who don't use turn signals and don't care if you have to wait for them? Trucks that take an eternity to pass while in the passing lane?
Do you like these people? Are you one of these people?

They should have these things in school...!! YES... SOOOO annoying! I havent been in school for a long time now- but i did take drivers ed. back then. Im sooooo ashamed to say it.... but i remember driving across country, and i was in left lane- some older couple was on my butt flashing their high beams. Honestly... i had NOOOOO clue what that meant. I checked all my guages... then just got so mad at him cuz i didnt know why he was doing that. I thought there was something wrong with my car. Im no dummy.... i just REALLY never heard of that. Stuff they dont teach you- but happens all the time! Im sure that young people reading this still wonder what the flashing brights means if someone is right behind you. Sorry- i have to.... it means get in the other lane..... faster traffic on left lane!! :) Wow- thanx for letting me vent- hmmmm.

There's only one rule that applies when driving...get in on or get it out of the way...my ex used to ride in the hammer lane...pissed me off to no end to have someone pass us on the right...we would literally fight over this because I thought that it was rude behaviour...he said that there's two lanes for a reason...I said and that's why they post slower cars keep right...it was neverending!! All of the things that you mentioned annoy me...although, I have been guilty of tailgating someone with a slow car in front of them...I figure that the person I'm tailgating can tailgate the slow vehicle and maybe the butt in the slow vehicle will get the point...and I don't flip the bird any longer...I blow kisses...I'm trying to not be as aggressive on the road these days...

as far as trucks taking a long time to pass, hae you ever noticed that when you speed up to pass someone, 9/10 of them speed up to avoid being passed? That happens to trucks.
A lot of driving behavior rests in stupid ideas of ego. "getting passed means you are lame", "the left lane means you're in the fast lane, where cool people are"
So far as tailgaters, the appropriate thing to do is slow down to a safe speed....which means they are 2 seconds behind you.
I had a tailgater "push" my car once, using his car as a deadly weapon. He is VERY lucky He stopped and ran away before I managed to get my gun out.
He was almost shot that night.

My theory is, from 20+ years of driving experience, people drive according to their own personality. Therefore, if you value life (like I do), you won't drive like you are the only person on the road.

Believe it or not a lot of people have never heard of the fast lane.

How about people who can't spell "tailgate"? (Your search for 'tailgait' did not match any dictionary results.)
No, I'm actually more annoyed by those people who tend to go into road rage unless things are going just to suit them. Are you one of those people?

I don't like them, and on the rare occasions that I drive, I try not to be one of them.
( I suppose I should buy a car some day...)

You forgot to add people who tend to speed up when you are trying to pass them then slow down when you try to get over .
Then of course their is people who ask stupid questions..
Are you one of them ?
