Creepy, crawly drivers

My pet peeve of the day is when a superior unloads work on you that they should be doing themselves - particularly since they know more about it and carry a professional license.

About the red light: I feel the same about that when I see a driver up ahead who is turning right when the light is green, but they turn ever so slowly. The light turns red during that everlasting right turn. You have to wait for the green light again. NE Maynard at Reedy Creek in Cary is where this incident occurs too often.

Bill, mine is similar to yours, but my pet peeve concerning drivers concerns those drivers who choose to drive BELOW the speed limit and usually they are driving in the left lane, clogging up traffic and making it impossible to get around anyone who is also driving slow in the right lane. Many of these people drive on Glenwood Avenue starting at Lynn Road going to 540 in the mornings between 7:15 and 7:30.

My pet peeve of the day: it's 57* outside right now an the AC in my office is on. I am shivering with a sweater on. Who sets these things?!?!

My pet peeve is the lack of turn signal usage in the Cary/Apex area! Do these people think you are charged for each use of the signal? I am not saying that other areas do not experience this problem, but I notice a higher rate of non-usage in the areas I mentioned above. Pepople, get off the phone, stop messing with your kids,put the coffee down and use your turn signals!

My pet peeve of almost every day is tailgating. Pass if you can. If you can't, don't and chill. How badly do I have to break the law before you back off. Had someone doing it to me this morning for most of my way to work. Fellow could have passed twice on the two lane road, but didn't.

My second pet peeve is not burning the headlights in the dark or rain. Yeah, it's getting light, but it is still dark. And you would be surprised how most common car colors hide. Headlights on help so much. And DRL's don't count. After all taillights help too.

My pet peeve is to see someone pull out in front of me like they're in a hurry and don't pick up speed to where I have to put on the brakes.

Tailgaters and left lane bandits both drive me nuts. On a divided highway if people are passing you on the right MOVE OVER, you're in the wrong lane no matter how fast you are going and what the posted speed limit is.

If the person ahead of you isn't going fast enough pass when you get a chance, if you are too scarred to pass then you shouldn't be driving that fast anyway... BACK OFF.

When I get a tailgater depending on traffic conditions I'll slow down to a speed that is safe for the distance between our cars. Sometimes if you do that and then shoot forward they get the hint (slamming on the brakes gives them the hint more forcefully but that ISN'T a good idea).

Best trick I've found for dealing with tailgaters is giving the windshield a THROUGH washing. It's amazing how often the overspray from the washers will make someone back off.

Oh, and why is it that the turn signals on my 38 year old VW Beetle work so much better than the turn signals on most modern cars seem to...

to: thecatsmeow,

Amen!! Can't stand that either!!

My BIGGEST peeve are people that get in the left lane of the Beltline and drive the SLOWEST! If you want to go slower, move to the right hand (and proper) lane!

Pet peeve - someone who turns out in front of you causing you to hit the brakes then goes 60 feet and turns in!!! Grrrrrrr!!! :(
