#2 Crappy Drivers

Okay, so this is a no brainer.  Idiots behind the wheel annoy the hell out of all of us awesome drivers.  Actually, I debated whether or not to add this one since it's so commonplace and uninspired.  It's like saying that contracting head lice ticks you off.  However, I believe that further commentary is required to quantify what qualifies as a "crappy driver."

We've all had near-misses, but I don't think that necessarily makes you a crappy driver.  It just makes you a danger to other motorists.   I also don't think unsafe practices such as speeding and drunk driving make you a crappy driver, they just make you a moron and hopefully you will die in a fiery crash.  No, crappy drivers are the ones that consistently fail to obey the rules of the road, making driving a complete and utter pain for the rest of us. 

Now before you start nodding your head in agreement, you must ask yourself, "Am I a crappy driver?"  In fact, there is a good chance that you are indeed a crappy driver.  Consider the following driving habits:

1. Refusing to use your signal light, despite the fact that they have been mandatory on all vehicles since 1931.
2. Not maintaining a constant speed on the highway.  This is loads of fun for us drivers who use cruise control, and are forced to pull out to pass only to have you speed up to prevent us from doing so.
3. Failing to yield.  If a vehicle has its signal light on, frigging yield.  It won't kill you.
4. Not accelerating in the acceleration lane.  By the time you leave the acceleration lane, you should be travelling at the same speed as all other vehicles on the highway.  That's why it's called an acceleration lane.

If you have ever practiced any or all of the above driving habits, then you are indeed a crappy driver.  Stop immediately and give your car keys to one of us fantastic motorists.  And stay the hell off my road.

The blue arrows indicate the acceleration lane.  Accelerate, damnit.
