    But which is worse? 2 lanes at 5mph with snow, or 12 lanes not moving because someone has a flat tire on the shoulder?

    My biggest peeve is NOT USING BLINKERS, THERE NOT OPTIONAL FOR A REASON, NO ONE CAN READ SOMEONE ELSE'S MIND!!

    Another is when your at a stop sign and pull past the FAT white line that makes it difficult for oncoming traffic to turn left in front of you (Got a "T" intersection on my route home and it happens more often than not when I have to turn left going home) Makes me want to throw nuts and bolts through your FUCKING WINDSHEILD!!

    GOOD DAY

    I especially hate when cars tailgate me on my Harley. I carry spare lug nuts in my vest pocket for just such occasions.

    Do you have the "Leg Check Ahead" sticker on your trailer door?

    Don't get me wrong, this is just a real hot button for me. I usually think about the logistics of it all when they're hauling something visibly interesting. You'll notice I only mentioned two things about semi drivers because I do give them the benefit of the doubt most of the time. I typically let them in, especially when there is an emergency or broken vehicle on the shoulder, will pull over to the next lane to give them a wide birth to get on the highway, etc... But the ones that are dickheads get called in to a DOT inspector friend who likes to bring assholes in for nice, long level 1 inspections and put them out-of-service for any minor infraction. If a trucker wants to be an ass hat on the road, game on buddy. I've got check and mate in one move in my contacts list. Otherwise, good job keeping the economic engine churning my friend.

    People who don't use their blinkers or leave them on, (I actually had someone use their left blinker the other day... then turn right o_O), people who drive 55 in a 65 zone, people who are too old to drive and have the same awareness and reaction speed as a drunk driver, and anyone who drives high.
    This reminds me of my first accident. :rofl: I was approaching an intersection when a pickup (Chevy) turned onto my road through the intersection from the left. However, he was traveling too fast and took the turn too wide, coming all the way across my lane and into a parking lot on my side before swerving back across toward his lane. My reflex as he came into my lane from left to right was to hit the brakes and swerve left to avoid him but he came back across and ran head-on into me. It was an older guy, probably about 70 and I still think he was high, probably on medicinal weed as he looked pretty bad health-wise. If he had had any awareness he should have made the turn slower, or even after he missed it if he had just stopped in the parking lot he would have been fine.

    Being my first accident I was pretty rattled and didn't have the presence of mind to take photos before I stupidly moved my 4R off to the side as there was a hill right behind us and I was worried about traffic. He also moved his truck back into his lane so when the police arrived it looked like I had swerved into his lane and hit him. Which is exactly the story he told the officer. After he took our statements and saw the shape this guy was in I think the officer believed me but the old guy still wanted to take me to court over it. The crazy part about it is that a couple of days before I was supposed to show up I called the court to make sure I had the correct day/time and they told me that the guy had just passed away.

    So I know now that the first thing to do is get photos or better yet run a dash cam which would have made it really clear what happened. The last photo attached is my 4R a couple of months later after someone ran a light at a weird X shaped intersection we have and hit me with both of us going about 30. :facepalm:

    Not nearly enough room here!
    I mentioned the idiots that need to pull out into the intersection, instead of looking in the direction that has more visibility FIRST, then ease-up and look in the other direction. It ain't Rocket Science but then again with my 10th Grade Education, I may have an unfair advantage over some folks!

    Jaywalkers don't bother me that much because I typically see them from quite a distance away. Also, I jaywalk all the time!

    What really annoys me is when I have a green light, and I'm at a crosswalk that has a red light/hand signal, and somebody decides to mosey across the street like there's nobody glaring at them from inside a vehicle as they take their sweet time!

    Again, I have no problems with jaywalkers who time it properly so nobody has to slam on their brakes or come to a complete stop. I've been at intersections where the cars had a green light and the crosswalk had a red, but there were no cars coming, so I just crossed the street. Police around here are pretty cool and just don't care!

    Drivers who can't: Figure out how to merge, yield, use a traffic circle, drive drunk/buzzed, throw cigarettes out the window during fire season, cut me off only to then slow down in front of me, fly across the freeway cutting off traffic just to make a last minute exit (seriously just take the next one and backtrack), get in front of me on the highway too quickly during winter and spray the front of the truck and windshield with gravel (I don't want more pits and cracks people!), and one of the biggest of all......can't remember to turn on their headlights!!!!!!!!!!
