Some things that really tick me off about drivers. Number one, inattention. Whether it's driving while talking on the cell, texting, eating, drinking your flavored coffee, the stupidity of some drivers who try to drive while distracted is absolutely amazing. It's more amazing that more accidents aren't caused by these goofballs who are more worried about what someone said in a text, or having a puff of that cigarette than they are about peoples' lives.
Second, drivers who don't know the rules of the road. How many times do you see people trying to merge who don't understand the concept of merging. They will stop or slow right down just when they should be speeding up, and on the other side of the coin, there are those who just won't let people merge into their lane no matter what. And the people who make left turns into the wrong lane of traffic. They don't understand that they have to turn into the lane that's closest to them. Idiots.
And the thing that ticks me off the most - drivers who drive with their dogs in the back of their pickups. Makes we wish I had a shotgun to put the animal down - the driver that is, not the dog. I've had the unfortunate occurrence of seeing dogs fall out of the back of pickup beds, with tragic endings in several cases.
We need to have officers on street corners who have the magical power to shut the power off to offenders' engines, scoop up the vehicle with a tow truck, and give the drivers a couple of months suspension. Where is Harry Potter when you need him?
