What I absolutely can't stand, are the ignorant drivers who are sitting there, yapping on their cells driving and not paying attention to anything but what's in front of them. Then they go to change lanes without signaling or looking and damn near run you off the road. Those seem to be the same people that, when I'm driving in to work in uniform, will be speeding past, then glance over, see the uniform and slam on the breaks and stay behind me.

When they do that I love just slowing right down and doing the exact speed limit and just watching the line behind me grow.

People who pay no attention at traffic lights (Chicago 'burbs' home of the three second left turn light) These idiots are asleep, or on cell phone and waste time when others need to turn.

Basically ingnorant drivers. The ones that are talking on cell phones while trying to turn are the most annoying to me. Then there are the teens that have a dozen people crammed into a tiny car that drive bad, swerving in and out of the lanes.

I hate the people that drive slow in the fast lane, but even more so, I hate people the block intersections when stopped for a stop light

Talking on cell phones and just doing the posted speed limit in the fast/passing lane.

I hate....
1) Driving in MD - I'm convinced 80% of people from MD have no idea what the different lanes are intended for
2) Slow drivers not moving out of the way or getting a clue when you're all up on their bumper...which leads me to...
3) People not using their mirrors

I'm from MA, and we have a bad reputation, but it's not because we're bad drivers, it's because we're aggressive, and have places to go and people to see and would much rather spend time doing those things than driving to those events.

Sorry for the rant, but bad drivers just kill me

Oh, this one really gets me, people that don't pull over when they are slowing down traffic, or people that are afraid to pass a cop, or people that instead of staying home during a blizzard decide to drive 20 mph, or people that speed up when you go to pass them, and the worst of them all is the people that don't think the speed limit should be 70 mph and drive 55 to make other people drive 55, and you all know what Sammy Hagar says

I hate when cops get in front of everyone and start slowing everything down so that a huge line of traffic grows!

Yeah, what I don't get is why everyone slows down when I'm in my ranger, or when I'm going in to work with one of the other guys in their little echo. I mean hell, that isn't even anything that would be used as an unmarked UC car. What IS great is when we're carpooling in to work with the one guy who has the big white crown vic. Then we actually have fun with people, and DAMN if it isn't hilarious how people react.
I take so much inspiration for my job from Super Troopers!!!

LOL! Say Car Ram Rod!
The other day there was a bunch of cars following this cop on the freeway while I was on my way to work. The cop slowed down to 55 MPH, though the speed limit is 65. I said screw it and decided to pass him anyway. Turns out he was screwing with everyone because he had the OFF DUTY sign in his side window. I just waved and sped off.
