Driving too slow can frustrate so many on the road. So many wish for you to at least do the speed limit or close too.So often we have a 100k zone and someone is just plodding along at fifty whistling Dixie.
Cars are banked up behind and sooner or later someone gets shirty.
Puts the pedal to metal and overtakes where they shouldn't. It unfortunately causes road rage also.

Tail gating is also one of my pet hates, so many drive right up your butt and try to intimidate you to go faster, when you are already doing the allocated speed.
I don't risk a fine by increasing my speed but it does frustrate me that at any moment I could have my rear end rammed..
I also have a thing about cigarettes being tossed from moving cars. I once copped a lit cigarette in the face. Had to stop quickly as it was burning my dashboard!
Weaving and almost clipping cars by cutting in finely is next on my list.
With mere inches to spare some moron will push it to the max..
They obviously have a death wish, but I'm not ready for heaven as yet!

What also is annoying is the kid jumping all around the back seat of teh car ahead, with no seat belt. Dad and mum are buckled up tight, but the kid is almost falling out of the car window. How can you help but stare? Expecting to have to go to someone's rescue.

So many idiots on the road and not enough cops.
We also have the "I'll beat you to the merging section.
The idiot that can't slow down but accelerate and forces his way into a merging lane.(At teh last minute mind you) must have got their license at "the school of burnouts and donuts."
