You can bet some people never look at their instrument panel while driving... They'll never notice the wink-wink there...

What really annoys me on the highway is when the driver in front of me, after having just spent the last 10 minutes passing the vehicles(s) in the right lane by going .002 mph faster, finally clears the vehicle(s) . . . turns his head to check the right lane, puts on his blinker, and sits there in the left lane . . . just to **** me off cause I've been sitting on his ***, and so I won't try to pass him on the right. I usually do anyway.

In Florida!? Honestly, I can't remember the last time I saw a cop use their turn signal. Today alone I've seen three that didn't. Ugh, this is such a pet peeve of mine .

I've never had that happen to me, most people around here just don't seem to understand the concept of "drive right pass left". I usually end up having to pass them on the right, and then they don't understand it when I give them a mean face.

Here in MA, people don't always use their blinkers.. it's not as bad as some other places (I bet Texas is worse).. but I have never seen anyone use a blinker incorrectly.

How do you tell people that their blinker is on anyway? Like, flash the lights?

Here's something else.. I was driving down a single lane road last night.. it's evening time, it's dark but not all the way yet.. this guy behind me gets on the road with his high beams on!

I even asked the two passengers in my car whether he really had high beams on.

It pissed me off--I had to switch to the night mode rear view window to not be blinded any more. I still felt the high beams in my eyes for 5 minutes afterwards.

How do you signal to those morons that they have their high beams on, if you're in front of them?

Good thing that he stayed on the road only for a few minutes... if this was on a long stretch of a road and for a while, I probably would've pulled over to the side and let the moron pass me.

And yet another thing. When I'm stuck in traffic on Rt-9 in MA, I often let in people who are turning onto the road. I figured, it's going barely 5mph anyway, so what's another car. Usually people wave and I get this satisfaction from being a Mistah Nice Guy.

However, this morning, I let this one lady in front of me, she waves a thanks, it's all good. Suddenly, without any blinker or any other indication, she just busts out of a right lane into the left lane, ahead of a car that was right next to her in the left lane. She cut off the car on the left and approached the car in front of her too close for damn comfort! I swear, I wanted to chase her down and flash her dumb *** until she shifted back into the right lane.

Let them pass you, switch your high-beams on and follow them.
