Pretty much all Uber and Lyft drivers in general.

I love the concept of what Uber and Lyft is. But I don't think they have a single driver employed by either one of those companies that has a fucking clue how to drive.

So far I'm batting 1000 on my commutes. See a dumb fuck do something stupid - weaving, going slow, cutting people off, etc.... get close and see that stupid airplane sticker in the back window.

Can it be only one thing?

Not using turn signals
Turning and going into the far lanes, but, riding the split lines before getting into the lane
Talking on phones or using a device of any kind while driving
Going under the speed limit anywhere
Not knowing where the fuck you're going and cutting people off instead of planning ahead

plenty more.

But, SUPER SAFE DRIVERS bother me more than anything.

People who don't know how the center turn lanes work is a close second.

1. left lane campers

2. drivers that brake for absolutely no fucking reason. None. Zero. No reason at all, but let's tap the brakes for half a second so 6 others behind them slam on theirs.

3. drivers that think their weak ass daytime running lights are their main headlights. This usually means they are driving around without rear lights.

People that follow the guy in front of them so closely they're constantly tapping on their brakes every 5-10 seconds which causes everyone else to apply their brakes and causes the slinky effect for 15 fucking miles.

When people in the left lane slow way down to get into the left turn lane when there's no other cars in it drives me nuts.....

45MPH zone, if the left turn lane is clear, start slowing down in the damn turn lane, you don't need to brake to 30 before getting into the turn lane. :fu:
To further expand that bullshit, people that do that and don’t fully go in the turn lane so people have to slow down to not clip them or the car next to them.

Yep. If their dumb asses would just follow the solid line on the left into the turn lane that shit wouldnt be an issue, but they wait to get into the turn lane like idiots.

To expand upon that even further:

People that think the painted road lines are some kind of physical manifestation of an invisible barrier and NEVER EVER DO NOT EVER DONT DO IT EVER HORRIBLE THINGS WILL HAPPEN IF YOU won't cross the yellow lines in an effort to be efficient and keep traffic flowing.

You guys have already touched on a lot of mine. To add another,

4 way stop sign idiots. It's not that hard to figure out when you are supposed to go. See who is still moving at the point when your car stops. You go AHEAD of them. You go AFTER people who are already stopped. LEARN IT.

Corollaries: 1. You DON'T have to go one car at a time. If the car approaching you is going straight and you are going straight, YOU CAN GO AT THE SAME TIME.

2. When you are turning left at a four way stop... USE YOUR FUCKING TURN SIGNAL. People in Florida don't and it messes up the stop sign etiquette. You think they are going straight so you follow corollary 1 and they suddenly turn in front of you. They invariably stop directly in front of your car and it takes them ten seconds to figure out what to do next. GRRR! ASSHOLES! LEARN TO DRIVE RIGHT YOU STUPID OLD PEOPLE AND SNOWBIRDS!

Also, Toyotas... and pick ups. Worst drivers on the road for some reason.

People not stopping at the stop sign by my house.
People with no brake lights.
People driving at night with no lights.
People driving too slow and not knowing where they are going.
People who don't get up to speed while merging.
Slow mother fucking drivers.
People driving who are oblivious to anyone else on the road.

What about people who approach a stale green and start slowing down in anticipation of it going yellow?

I'm the opposite. If I think that light is going to go yellow I speed up to make the turn. Though I usually pick a conservative point of no return, enough time to stop if it does go red.
