One of the worst driving offenses imo is the person in heavy traffic trying to prove to themselves they're a good person by waving someone through. What about the people behind the person doing the waving? They're essentially telling all of them to **** off while they sit in their little made-up bubble of superiority. They've maybe helped one person get to their destination a few seconds faster, while simultaneously adding more time to the commute for multiple people behind them.

I like the ones that let you go through when you need to take a left without any disregard you might get nailed by traffic going the other way.

Common sense eludes many. Like the person who decided to stop their vehicle and talk to their friend on a corner of a busy street, making me stop behind them with the rear of my vehicle sticking out in traffic on a snowy day in VERY slick conditions as a line of cars headed my way doing 45mph. I laid on the horn for a good 30 seconds while they looked at me as if I had just murdered their children.

1) Bad rep from stereotypes that represent a minority of the state.
2) Soo much heroin.
3) The traffic sucks, unless you're in the country.

As a bike rider I hate waiting to cross a road or turn for like five minutes cause the cars just keep coming, but it's almost as annoying when a car on a busy road stops to let me through when they could just keep going and be out of my way long before I'd be out of there's. Then I just feel awkward and obligated to speed up. And the ones who stop when I'm not even really close, when they would have had time to go through, pull a U-turn, pull another U-turn, and then cross in front of me again before I even got there... I just don't understand how you could be that mathematically challenged.

Sounds it would've saved the world a lot of trouble.

This actually comes down to how our minds interpret oversized objects

I bike a lot too. When that happens, I'll just give them a look while crossing as slowly as possible.

I blame it on genetically enhanced bad depth perception and not enough critical thinking exercises in their diet.
