Bad drivers1

Driving pet peave of the day: I hate to see the following:
-> Use the right-turn lane to cut in front of other slow-lane drivers.
-> or generally use any lane they know will be closing soon just to get ahead by a few cars.
-> Allow the above people in, thereby promoting such behaviours.
-> Leave more than enough room for people to merge in front of them during slow traffic scenarios.

All of these driving habits only serve to build stress. The people who are doing the skimming are taking risks, the people letting them in feel obliged to to so (they aren't) and the people behind the "good sams" are eating their steering wheel.

So, we can't stop human nature, some people will try to get ahead, but we CAN stop enabling these cretins. When you're in the slow lane, a car or three from the front and you see some idiot in the right turn lane waiting to jump in to your lane...DON'T LET THEM! Gun your little POS right up to the rear bumper of the legitimate car in front of you and don't let them in. If they sit stupidly in front of a gas station a few times, they'll get the message.

Same thing for highway lane closings: regular or emergency. Figure that if you can see the signs that a lane is closing, so can everyone else. anyone that doesn't turn on a turn signal to merge at that moment deserves to sit on the highway and wait for some other doormat to let them in. The worst is omethinng like the 405N to the 101 intersection....they have that lane "going to" ventura blvd which most people use to sneak ahead of the responsible drivers and cut in to the 101 lanes at the last minute. Shoot these idiots, hit them with your car, and don't let them in. Take back your streets!
