#1 Unread post by CNF2002 »

http://www.cnn.com/2006/AUTOS/05/04/pet ... index.html

And the list is...

1. Distracted drivers talking on cell phones (28.5 percent)

2. Slow drivers in the fast lane (21.6 percent)

3. Pushy drivers who tailgate (18.1 percent)

4. Drivers who weave through traffic to gain one or two car lengths (12.5 percent)

5. Obnoxious drivers who speed up to keep you from changing lanes (5.5 percent)

6. Hasty drivers who change lanes without signaling (4.9 percent)

7. Road Rage (2.7 percent)

8. Motorcyclists who race down the middle of a lane, between cars (2.1 percent)

9. Women applying makeup and men shaving (1.7 percent)

10. Drivers who leave their turn signal on for miles (0.92 percent)

28% of people think cellphones are annoying...so why do THEY use them?

It all started in the 50's .... :|

Here's another good one.

Drivers who speed to pass you and change lanes to cut you off, only to put their signal on to make a left turn in front of you. :roll:

I hate stuff like what was mentioned in the above post.

I get people who (while I'm riding or driving in the right lane), while speed past me, squeeze in front of me, then slam on there brakes to turn right.


Anyway, I can see how people would get upset with lane splitting.

Tech, didn't it start in 1947 with the publication by Life magazine of the infamous fabrication of the Hollister, California "motorcycle gang siege" story?
