(+) Yeah! (+)

If something else please name yours.

Mine would probably have to be people who drive slower than the speed limit simply because of all of those listed it is what I witness the most and it can be infuriating sometimes when there's no reason for it. Although there are a lot more dangerous ones out there.
Racing to the stop sign and running red lights also seem to be pretty common too but dont annoy me as much

People who drive and aren't me.

Not using their turn signal

People.

Close between tailgaters and people who refuse to use turn signals for me.

I don't think any of these annoy me more than others, but I'd also like to give a mention to drivers who pull up next to you when there's room to pull ahead and match your speed. Its one thing if there's traffick, but if we're the only two cars in sight, why the fuck are you driving next to me?

Tailgaters are the worst, and freaking dangerous

People in my town have this lovely habit of using turn lanes as a lane to turn on to and drive down while waiting for the actual driving lanes to clear up enough.

People driving under the speed limit, tailgaters and people who brake for no reason.

This. Plus, people who dont use their turning signals.

People who cut in front of you then drive slow af

Yes

When Im getting tailgated I get actually triggered, cant stand it, especially during icy conditions

I hate when people slow down to 5mph to cross the railroad tracks. C'mon.

Turn single doesn't mean you have the right to cut in front of me unless you can fit in at a matching speed that doesn't force me to brake.

in short, turn signals are not a free pass to cut people off.

Oh and sometimes, you just have to bite it and miss your exit or end up taking the wrong exit. You being in the wrong lane does not give you the right of way to drive in the median or shoulder to cut in front of folks because you're in the wrong lane. Just eat it, take the exit, and turn around or go around the block.

People who can't figure out how to navigate a parking deck

People who drive drunk, they should be locked up.

People who speed up when you try to change lanes

Tailgaters
Not using turn signals
Not giving you room to change lanes
Weaving through traffic
People who cut you off

Taking turns unnecessarily slowly.

Had that happen to me a few times.

Once some lady leaned on the horn and probably was like "you ain't getting in front of me".

I'd been better off if just I didn't signal and just whipped into the lane.

people who don't turn down their brights.

People that turn into a parking lot from the road at approximately 1 MPH. There's nobody in front of you lady, you don't need to crawl into the lot. You can go a moderate speed and not force everyone behind you to slam on the brakes.

Like I mentioned, sometimes you just got to bite it and miss your exit.

Any instance where it feels like the situation on the road or parking lot has gotten personal

Jesus Christ man fucking everything driving-related pisses me off. I get such road rage. Mainly hate people that dont use turn signals, people that cut in front of me, and people that drive slow as fuck.

I don't drive, but as a pedestrian it's a tie between drivers who don't watch for people on foot/bike and think it's clear to turn just because they don't see a car coming, and people who slow down as you are waiting to cross but don't stop to let you cross.

people who swing out to the left to make a right

All of the above

Erratic driving is the worst. A tailgater is paying enough attention to sit right up your ass without touching. Not keeping your mind on what you're doing is what gets innocent people injured.

people who drive over the speed limit
people who tailgate
people who race you to the stop sign
people who drive erratically (distracted driving)
people who don't use turn signals
people who run red lights

these all about equally. don't really care about the others.

really though, at least 90% of people who drive regularly should not have a driver's license at all

I live in Hanoi. If I were to talk about all the common driving habits here that bother me, it would take all day.

Trailgating mainly because I know if I have to slam on my brakes my 2500lb sports car is going to stop faster than your 5500lb SUV.

The one that gets me isn't on the list.

For me it's people who missed their turn or are in the wrong lane and are trying to correct it by holding up traffic by waiting for an opening to make their turn or get into the proper lane. Just go forward and turn around and get yourself going in the right direction.

Some of these idiots act like it's the only possible way to get where there going. "It's the last turn ever! If I don't turn here I have to drive 100 miles to turn around!" No jackass, continue on in your lane, turn into one of the 3 fucking parking lots on the other side of the intersection and then course correct.

Now that I'm going, I also can't stand people who won't turn right on red. I live in a place where it's legal.

Another is the assholes who see the construction cones coming up and race forward in the lane that's ending and expect to be let in line farther ahead. Fuck those entitled assholes.

People who tailgate is by far the most annoying to me. If traffic stops suddenly, I don't trust some random stranger to react fast enough to avoid slamming into me.

Literally everything that anyone else does on the road

The only one I care about is tailgating because it's stupid and potentially dangerous. I see it all the time and it irritates me to no end.

is this not also applicable to running red lights, not using turn signals, distracted driving, and in fact most of the other options as well?

People who go in the right turn lane but continues to go straight to cut in line at a stoplight or stop sign

Tailgaters
People who don't slow down when your turning on a different a different road forcing you to miss the road.
I did have my turn signal on and everything, but the asshole didn't act like they were going to slow down any so I can turn.
People who run red lights and stop signs( I see this one at least once a day in my town someone running a four way stop sign)
People who don't know who goes first on four way stop signs
People who don't know what Yield signs are.
People who don't know what right of way is
like this for instance if I have don't have anything on my side I shouldn't be forced off the road because someone is going around something on their side pretty sure they have to slow or stop first if I have nothing on my end.
Pretty much at this point I have severe trust issues with anyone else's driving, mine's not perfect by any means but a lot of this does annoy me.
And as long as it isn't a high traffic road I'll quite often wait longer to turn just so I don't have another car driving behind me as well as slow down on a four way if I think am going to show up at the same time as someone.
And oddly enough People driving slow doesn't really bother me much unless it is like 25 mph on a 55 speed zone.
Also another thing was at a stop sign and there was a hill nearby that I can only see so far I already looked when I turned and this one asshole decides to speed up like I pulled out in front them on purpose or something tailgating.
And while not really a driving habit well in my town anyway whenever I am walking I won't cross the road if other cars around either even if they wave me through I'll just walk the other way waiting longer since I don't trust them anymore in that regard either.
Probably a wall of text, but guess I've had this on mind for quite sometime.
I also do get more annoyed with people who go 70mph on a 55 but more of a minor annoyance than some of the other things I listed.
Probably because I am wondering how much time they would have to react if a deer or some other animal pops out in front them same deal with the tailgating when you need to suddenly use your brakes.

People who wait at a red light then only turn on their signal after the light changes and they creep into the intersection <_<

If you ever lived somewhere that you had to regularly cross over rough tracks, you'd understand this reflex

People with high beams left on at night, or equipped with ill fitting LED lights on their halogen head units.

People who slow down to a crawl to gawk at any stopped vehicle/incident on the side of the freeway no matter how minor.

This hit me so hard with how i related to it.

Why does no one ever point this out, braking before signalling

Braking for no reason, and never signalling arent as common as this

the signal is to warn about braking, you might as wall not use it at that point

People who drive drunk, followed by people who run red lights.

How about we lower automobile deaths?

Bonus: People who enter the freeway through the wrong entrance and go against traffic.

People who swing out in the opposite direction before making a turn. There is never a situation on regular roads where this is necessary and I've seen people almost hit cars in other lanes while doing it.
