It doesn’t matter if you are taking a road trip across the country, driving across town or driving down the street, we all have one pet peeve while driving! What’s yours?
People are talking about their biggest driving pet peeves, and several have mentioned those people who think they’re being “nice,” but it’s actually dangerous.
For example, randomly stopping on Wilma Rudolph to let someone in oncoming traffic turn left in front of them. Or waving people through a four-way stop when it’s your turn to go.
Not following the rules of the road is dangerous to other drivers, as well as bicyclists and pedestrians, because they don’t know what’s going on. One person put it this way: Don’t be polite . . . be predictable.
