Myself.

Basically anything related to me; fatigue, overconfidence, underconfidence, anger, being inconsiderate, preoccuppied, stressed out, and just generally not having my head on right during a ride.

Psychotic drivers, homicidal drivers, inattentive drivers, arrogant drivers, impatient drivers, stupid drivers, anxious, hesitant drivers, drivers with something to prove, drivers with mobiles, drivers with road rage, drivers who hate bikes, drivers in a hurry, drivers without insurance, and (sadly) elderly drivers.

Bless 'em!

I was looking for this choice myself...

The only thing you have control over is yourself, and it's the most often ignored danger out there.

The Fuzz is the police, the cops, the guys with the guns and badges.
Ah, now that you say it, I suppose I have heard police referred to as the fuzz before. Just didn't come to mind last night.
Pigs. Fuzz. The Man. John Law. PoPos. Rollers. I know there's more.

Anyway, back to the point. Cager blow. You never know what they are going to do. They are the craziest animals. People on cell phones are the worst of all offenders, second only to teenagers, who are also often on phones anyway.
