  1. At a 3- or 4-way stop, a vehicle clearly the first to arrive will await the complete stop of a second vehicle before entering the intersection. This often means I encounter stopped vehicles at these intersections awaiting my own stopping before they proceed. This is far beyond "trust but verify" driving, considering the approach speeds are not "blow through the intersection" speeds.

  2. Not dimming brights on rural roads for approaching traffic. Most of these folks are locals like me, with usually good manners, so what gives?

  3. Not using turn signals when passing or lane changing. This one enrages me to no end, as I am one of the most defensive drivers I know (2 decades driving without an accident). How the fuck am I supposed to know whether you're drunk or a just a faggot?

  4. Locals who should understand the stoplights and all the ways you can and cannot make the lights given your starting location from the previous light/intersection, speeding by me and getting caught at a red as I slide on in beside them. Sometimes I don't even have to use brakes and end up passing them again because they can't think ahead and recognize patterns.

It really kills me inside that I have to share such a dangerous public forum with low-IQ NPC-level drivers, who will have bad driving records, bad credit, shitmobiles all their lives, and in order for me to live a peaceful, injury-free accident-free life, I have to look out for their failures to act in ways that limit the chaos they rain onto the world's better people, like me.

I am with you on this. Pulled into Lowes today, was doing like 10 and I turned left when I reached the parking lot. Lots of trucks to my right and this fuck with a small car doing like 25 in the parking area screeches to a halt 3 ft from me. I'm like, you can't see a fucking thing with the trucks and your driving like a dumbass in a parking lot and almost ram me. I think stupidity and lack of common sense especially is why some drivers are so bad. You can't see you approach slowly. I slammed on the brakes the second I saw this idiot because I was not sure what he was going to do. He stopped for a second then just slowly drove around me even though I had the right of way being in the road part of the lot and from what I can see his wife was letting him know what she thought of his driving right there. She probably before he saw me told him to slow down and now she has proof he fucking drives like shit. I smiled when looking at them without moving my head knowing he was getting an earful.
