Drivers that do not realize they can pull into the intersection when making a left turn, so when the light changes they can make the turn. Nearly every "Magoo", I'm behind in a left turn lane will stay at the light and wait until the get a green arrow on the next (if there is a green arrow present) cycle, or wait indefinitely for the break in traffic before making a turn when there isn't a green arrow present (I've been behind jokers that have stayed there through 2 light changes), in which case I pulled around them to make a turn or proceed to the next turn and make a "U".

Another Left lane scenario, is the good Samaritan in the left lane of on-coming traffic stops and waves you to make the turn, where the cars in the lane to his right are going the speed limit past him. He gets angry because you don't take his offer to participate in a "head-on".

Wish the LE officers would start enforcing the "Slow-poke" laws most states have on the books. Give people a monetary education that the left lane is a passing lane and not a "fast-lane" or "my lane".

No Europe is no better! Does vary by country, but you get dinlo's everywhere.

Priuses (Prii?) driving (barely) the speed limit in the left lane.

They could be out of blinker fluid though?

It no one was looking, I used to kick my dog's poop into trees and bushes so it could compost instead of rotting away in a bag or bag it and dump it in the home compost unbeknownst to my dad.

Hope you were wearing "brown" shoes.

Yeah, I had good technique but to be sure, I would wipe the contact point on the grass.

In no particular order;
- Speeders
- People doing under the speed limit in the over-taking lane
- Cyclists (both motor and without) going waaaay to slow & Filtering
- Corner Cutters
- People stopping on round-a-bouts to let other cars cross even though we have right of way and its' bloody dangerous!
- People parking so close that you can't get back in the car
- People staring when I have the roof down
- Undertaking Trucks when there are speed restrictions on the Motorway
- People using their phones whilst driving

I absolutely refuse to creep. I will never creep and fill the gap ahead of me that the creepers create.

+1. Yes, the late zipper merge is the most efficient and effective way to merge into a lane that is closing ahead. With that said, I really don't care for the lane jumpers and I really can't stand the shoulder passing folks.

Ya. Everyone needs to be playing the game for zipper to work.

Idiot driving slowly in the left lane and not moving right when flashed. Also leaving a gap to car in front and having this filled by every ahole who comes along.

I agree with your first comment, but not the second one.

I can be zipping along on an interstate left lane, keeping up with traffic, trying to obey the law regarding tailgating. I allow a few car lengths between me and the guy ahead while we're cooking along at 75 MPH+, inevitably, some A-hole will try to pass on the right and then horn in front of me. I was legal/safe and he was a fool.

Generally, when I see some jerk coming up on my right, I will close the door, if you know what I mean. I don't like driving that close to the car in front of me, but sometimes...
