If I'm on the bike - people that throw cigarette ends out of their window.  Don't they have ashtrays in their cars?
I had a great firework display once at dusk when White Van Man lobbed one out that bounced off my visor.
Once in Central London traffic a fat bloke in a fat Merc chucked out a cigar end that landed in my lap.  I managed to stop really quick and threw it back through his still open window.
 ;D

Oh man am I an expert on this. I live in a resort town. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I have two pet peeves. First, people who do not know how to use their directional signals. I think they should be thumped on the head real hard for at least one minute non-stop. Second, slow drivers in the fast lane.  :Xo! :/O

I cant stand people who drive 20 mph under the speedlimit then flip you off because you are riding their ass.

Well... if you used a normal distance measure, you wouldn't have that problem, now would you??  :D :P

Have any of you ever driven in Montreal or Quebec City though?  You don't know bad drivers until you've driven in the Province of Quebec.  Yeah, and I can really vouch for that as I learned to drive in Quebec!

The worst in the world though is Naples, Italy... but in the US, it's the above mentioned ones!

I only had a taxi right in Montreal... it wasn't toooo bad!

Just a question for my Canadian brothers. It is law there that you have to have your headlights on all the time? We have a Canadian-American Festival here in Myrtle Beach ever year and I notice Canadians have their headlights on sunshine or rain.

No, there is no law for headlights, but what confuses a lot of people it that there is the law requiring all vehicles to be equipped with daytime running lights.  The DTR's are standard in all vehicles and must be installed in all vehicles that are imported and actually appear to be headlights but are in fact a lot dimmer.

People who's priorities while driving are everything but driving.

Cell phones, laptops on the passengers seat, eating, makeup, nose picking, radio, etc.

Also people that drive like they are the captain of a ship. Drive slow, make wide wide turns (even slower) and cant seem to navigate into a parking place in under 5 min.
