road rage, particularly when i see someone swerve to the right or left before they turn the opposite direction, slow drivers, ppl who are too lazy to enter a dedicated right or left turn lane properly forcing you to slow down and ppl who tailgate.
Learnt this skill very early in my driving days, Ange. And it's saved my butt quite a few times. Always stressed to my kids when teaching them to drive to be more aware of what the other road users are up to than what you are actually doing yourself. You know what you are doing, but they have no idea what they are doing!
Old enough to know better . . . Too old to care!

Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

If someone leaves a big gap between them and the car in front at a set of lights, i try to reverse park in it (benefit of a small car :P) Shits me up the wall, because someone behind them could have missed a light because of it.
1.4L SOHC, its more like a volume control than an accelerator pedal
got another......people who sleep when the turning arrow goes green and then im the one that misses the light because they were sleeping....we should get Bert Newton to do a top 20
Im a chronic speeder, i cant help it.... honest hahaha!!
But my boyfriend is waaay worse than me, he is a chronic speeder, in his 4wd, he hits speed humps at like 80, hehehe, he has uber road rage, and is also seeming like every car that pulls up next to him at lights wants to race him, which is really funny, me and my friends egg it on hahaha
I didn't break it, i just exceeded it's operational limit's
leaving too big a gap to the car in front - always lets lane bargers in (which annoys me)
A new habit which comes with a sports exhaust - incessantly burbling the throttle in underground car parks.
Quiet back road/night a-road speed trials (do it less than I used to)
ripping around roundabouts and powering out (not faster than the limit though)
that's about all I can think of.

road rage as previewed below
-no one has any respect for space left for SAFE stopping distance. many times people have been very lucky my vehicle was not fully loaded (which it often is)
-impatient P platers (usually) flying up the left outside lane (ending in 50m) so they can get to the next traffic lights 5 seconds earlier
-people who push the pedestrian crossing button then jaywalk... traffic stops for minute meanwhile they're already 100m down the road... DONT PUSH THE ****ING BUTTON IF YOU'RE GOING TO NOT ****ING USE IT, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH MONEY YOU ARE COSTING THE 20 VEHICLES YOU JUST STOPPED?
I could go on but too many to list. I do 2-300km a day of suburban driving so get to see quite a bit of stupid/frustrating shit.
