Number 1 and 2 are the most annoying for me.

Funny thing though is that I guarantee you that 90% of those that voted for #1 have done it

I don't like talking on the phone while driving, but if my phone rings I'll answer it while driving (OK - I occasionally make a call too ). But if I see somebody else talking on the phone and if they are driving slow or stupid, I'll curse them out for talking on the phone and driving

all those things tick me off

I have always used a headset while driving.

why is my pet peeve not even on the list???

People not looking before they merge into my lane, right into me!!







so, that's why I don't take pictures while driving anymore... crazy people not looking where they are going!

My number one pet peeve is people taking pictures while they are driving!!!

Number 4 is my biggest pet peeve. Why in the world can't some drivers just understand that traffic is sometimes slow in all lanes at one time, so just go with the flow of traffic. Weaving in and out doesn't really gain them any more time, not to mention how dangerous it is.

Not on the list-parking lot driving. Sometimes that scares me more than street driving. People racing through the parking lot not paying attention to pedestrians or cars backing out, and cars backing out without looking around first.

They're all pretty annoying but my main thing is blinkers. People here seem to hardly ever use them and it really aggravates me.

Same here. I also hate when I'm driving in an area known to have a swarm of cops around and the person behind me is pushing my *** to get up to their speed.

My biggest pet peeve is people wearing Lakers (Kobe) jerseys while driving. Just an accident waiting to happen.

Also couple of years ago when we played T-Pupps in playoffs I hated everyone with Minnesota license plates.

You know, I encountered this yesterday, and boy was I peeved!! I had to swing wide to avoid this guy! At least he was easy to spot... He happened to just be getting his kid from school, walking on campus in a plethora of children. I think this violation is not limited to the streets, but should be banned outright.
