Common Courtesy While Driving

While Driving i noticed there are several no-blinkers, bumriders, lastminuters, slow-mergers, speeders and just plain idiots on the road. On a multitude of occasions i run into these blatant ram-pagers. There's a thing called common courtesy which was and should be still used today. I know everyone can relate to this list unless you are on the other realm of this mess.

The no-blinkers - those who don't use their turn signal

These feisty animals are to special to take the extra second and a half to use their middle finger to toggle on the blinker function built in to every car. Maybe by far the most annoying of species. While they cut me off frequently, i find myself holding myself back from cutting them off in return and giving them a polite wave of the finger.

The Bumriders- those who like to be on your tail at all periods of time

They as well think they are special and have the right to be on my rear end. How i deal with them is i will double break and that usual alarms them that i am ready and willing to slam the breaks. Which in lieu of that will cut me off as well. These people just annoy me to the brink, in my mirror right there! its like BACK OFF! common...

The Last-minuters- those who wait until the last minute to merge

The last thing i want to worry about is a crazy maniac trying to get over to the exit but are over 3 lanes.... The ones who i am always trying to dodge or slam my breaks so i don't hit them or they don't hit me, this should really be put an end too. You had how long to get over.... come on people

The Slow-mergers - those who get on the freeway and try to merge going 20 in 65

I always am either speeding up or slowing down to try to let these fellas in, the ones who drive way to grandma speed to get over let alone be on the freeway, if you cant merge at a safe speed please don't go on the freeway for all our sakes. I believe in this case it is okay to jump the gun.

The Speeders - those who speed or choose to speed up when you put on your blinker

One of the most annoyance of my pet peeve collection of common driving idiocy. The people who have the audacity of speeding up when I'm being generous and putting on my blinker (which i always do by the way). The mirror mirror shoulder maneuver to the flick of the blinker on, i see a car in the distance and know it is safe to merge, once the blinker turns on its like a green light at the races, roaring in my mirror like a bat out of hell. No longer is it safe to get over and i wait to merge and then once i pull up behind them they slow back down to their original non-blinker speed.....

lastly the idiots - Those who are not fit to drive

Whether it be no-blinkers to the speeders some people should not have their licenses. I feel this list is not complete but sows the gist of what is what i believe the most dangerous and annoying additives that come with the card called a drivers license. Has the drivers test been watered down so much that no one gets that a car is not a toy, people always think it wont happen to them, but things do happen and to stop these accidents, so they are called, i wouldn't call 100 mile per hour car hitting a telephone pole an accident. Its bound to happen, one day it will if it hasn't.
