Thoreau explained how, "Some men lead lives of quiet desperation" and it's sad when some drivers want to break out of their "quiet desperation" by by the use of excessive speed and reckless driving.

I think everyone is bothered by something different. I'm mostly annoyed by people leaving a huge gap or driving slowly in the left lane. I think many people want to text or look at their phone; the result is much slower traffic.
+1. What bothers me is dangerous drivers on the road. People lined up in the left lane not getting over is one of them . Yesterday a girl with her sorostitute stickers covering her back glass had a line of 6 people in the left lane. When I passed them all she had her head down looking in her center console for something, all while doing about 65mph in a 70. I'm a very aggressive driver, but I'm not a danger. I will however cut you off in an instant if you think trying to slam the gas to not let me in traffic after I overtake your slow ass is acceptable.

And OP, don't apologize for your English...it is better than a lot of member's English, who speak it as their first language.

Drivers pass me all the time. Especially on the road I take to work. Its 55 and drivers go 65 to 70. and drivers pass me all the time. Makes me wonder if those drivers wonder why I have a Mustang when I don't go the same speed they are going.

I love Prius drivers when I'm driving my F250 diesel truck,they always have to be in front of me or gas it to get around me then slow down again.

I think Prius drivers always go to slow even under the speed limit. Could it be they think they are saving gas driving that slow.

there are all types of aggressive drivers. But I have noticed the same behavior with s197 v6 college bros which I assume they think they're the best, kinda like the subaru kids. Don't let it deter your car choice.

This is the way I see it:

If you're driving slower than me...you're moron.

If you're driving faster than me...you're nuts.

Meh. I guess I'd call myself an agressive driver. I don't do anything overtly dangerous, but I'll work my way through highway-speed traffic. Kinda boring to drive a high-hp car the speed limit in the right lane 100% of the time. I'm not street racing or driving on the shoulder or cutting across 5 lanes of traffic. If I wanted to drive it like a Camry I'd have bought the Camry...then shot myself.

Does cutting people off mean changing lanes in front of them? If so, I do it all the time. Pretty much every time I change lanes there's someone behind me. If someone wants to get in line in front of me I let them in, because I try not to be too hypocritical. ;)

I'm not going to stop and I think it's their problem if it bothers them. :shrug:

When someone overtakes me in the left lane, if there's room I will always move over for them and let them by.

Not sure why this would annoy you. Unless the person directly ahead of you isn't keeping up his speed what would it matter? Many accidents occur due to people not allowing enough space between themselves and the car ahead of them. Sudden stops, sudden turns, wet roads, road kill/debris on the road, rocks getting kicked up...

What annoys me are the drivers who think that the one and half car gap in front of me is space reserved for them. Of course, it's all relative to the driving situation - highway cruising vs. stop and go. But generally, a guy who pulls into my lane and requires me to brake and/or downshift isn't seeing the big picture.

Its easy to generalize, but my experience is that vette drivers are less likely to be aggressive than mustang and camaro drivers. Sure there are less vettes on the road but it's rare IMO that they drive aggressively. Not so much the mustang and camaro guys. Maybe it's an age issue? Being a 3 time GT owner I know that I have to work to keep myself in check.

My pet peeve are the drivers that wait to the last minute and pull out of a side street in front of you then go 10 under the limit. It is especially frustrating if there is no one behind me.

Strongly agree, that's always a fun time especially when it's one lane with no passing.

If traffic is going 70 with some huge gaps, then the traffic is still going 70. I hate it when people feel they need to weave in/out of the gaps in traffic and do 1 MPH faster than everyone else. It just causes chaos and causes traffic to not flow smoothly as some people hit the brakes when weavers come through. I also hate when I'm going 70 and someone has to tail gate me way too closely. Guess what, if you are 35 ft back or 5 ft back you're still going 70.

And people texting and fucking with their phone while driving shouldn't even have a driver's license or car! And yes, those people definitely mess up traffic because they are freakin' zombies behind the wheel.

What I hate is when you are on the on ramp getting ready to get on a 75 mph freeway and the guy in front of you is going 40. Idiot thinks he is being safe and is just a menace.

This is the way I see it:

That is about the same with me... normally 5 to 10 over posted, unless city.

This year I'm seeing a lot more motorcycles doing stupid things in my area. Like standing up on seats on the highway, holding up traffic (I passed them... some people are scared to pass).

Three of them passed me today doing at least 120 when I was going to lane change. If I'd went over they would have adjusted and passed me on the shoulder (I used to ride bikes.... so I Know), but it is still dangerous. Even more if the biker is not experienced.

I did not see them since they were cruising up the slow and then had to cross over maybe three lanes to pass slower people. At least that is what I came up with. They were going so fast, I simply did not see them.
