A Professional Driver's Pet Peeves

As a professional driver, you are constantly surrounded by hundreds of other motorists. From other truck drivers to daily commuters, the decisions of these motorists affect you day-in and day-out. Part of the purpose of the RoadRunner 2K blog is to allow truckers to share what they know with other drivers.

My question for you in this blog post is: What Behaviors Frustrate You Most on the Road?

For me, nine actions I see commonly are on my list of irritations, but I want to hear yours in the comment box below.

1. Easing up to a traffic light or stop sign.
2. Failing to stop at a stop sign.
3. Going through a traffic light a millisecond before the light changes to red.
4. Refusing to travel at the speed limit on a two-lane road with no passing.
5. Running along the road beside another vehicle as both head toward a merge lane.
6. Passing in the slow lane at speeds faster than the fast lane.
7. Matching another vehicle's speed so as to travel neck-and-neck down the highway.
8. Turning too sharply on a double-lane turn, forcing the inside vehicle to stop or slow down to avoid a collision.
9. Merging onto a freeway at a speed far below the speed limit, so as to slow down traffic.

A bonus: Preventing another vehicle from passing by accelerating when the vehicle accelerates and slowing down when the passing vehicle slows.

If you have any other pet-peeves that you would like to pass along, please leave them below. Thank you for reading the RoadRunner 2K Blog.
