Being stuck in an incredibly annoying array of Kearney rush-hour traffic got me to thinking: people who drive are idiots. Now, I'm not saying I'm not a bad driver- I make plenty of mistakes as well. However, this is not going to stop me from venting about all the bad driving habits others make that irk my while I'm on the road.
First off... always use your blinker! I know this is one of the first things you learned in driver's ed, and for God's sake it only takes the flick of a finger to enable your turn singal. Nothing makes more more angry than when I come to a complete stop at an uncontrolled intersection, attemtping to yield and the person stops, hesitates, and then turns in front of me. Now, they knew because they were turning that they did not have the right of way, but because they were too lazy to turn on thier signal I had to yield anyway. It takes up way too much time and can also be slightly dangerous. Equally annoying is when you have to slam on your breaks because the person in front of you suddenly turns with no warning (i.e. turn signal)
Also... do not slow down to 10 mph under the speed limit when you see a cop. This is quite possibly my biggest pet peeve. If the speed limit is 40 mph and you are driving 40 mph, then stay at that speed. The police officer will not pull you over if you are going at a consistent speed. In fact, you are only calling attention to yourself if you slam on the brakes in front of a cop when you're not even exceeding the speed limit. Plus, it forces everyone behind you to drive 10 mph under the speed limit, and that's just rude.
So... when you're on the road, please be considerate of others.
