It’s a known fact that everyone reading this is an above-average driver — and that each of us always displays deep and abiding civility toward our fellow travelers. So we’re sure you won’t recognize yourself in any of the items in Tom and Ray’s recent “Top 10 Most Annoying Things Other Drivers Do.” …

Line cutters. There’s a left turn lane and a long line of cars waiting their turn to turn left but mister self-important stays in the right lane and cuts in front of everybody at the last minute.

I hate busybodies who are too focused on other drivers and not focused enough on their own driving. I guess if I had to pick a pet peeve, it would be non-functioning brake lights. Most vehicles have three of them, but many times only one of the ones on the side come on when a driver presses the br…

">Tailgating! How could Tom & Ray have left this one off their list? " Because tailgating is so common in MA it’s not considered a problem. It’s the ONLY place in the country where they can have a 60 car pileup on the highway on a bright sunny day with the sun behind you… My biggest pet-peeve are…

How about cops? They’ve recently made it illegal (here) to text while driving. Granted, there’s no rocket science involved in figuring out that watching a tiny screen while typing a message at 70MPH isn’t the brightest thing you can do for that day. Yet, I still see it all the time. Worst case I sa…

When driving in the left lane and trying to leave a little space between cars, the guy behind you passes on the right and cuts in front of you, because moving up in line one position is going to get him where he’s going so much faster. Definite high risk low reward behavior. Admittedly I have been …

"I become annoyed with drivers with sound systems that produce bass at 150 db and pull up along side of me. It vibrates my whole car. " A couple of years ago this dweeb passed me with his sound system so loud I could hear the bass 1/4 mile away. As he passed me I saw that he had two kids (in booste…

Folks that decide they have to do a U turn by blocking traffic in a spot without a turn lane, when there’s a turn lane 100 FEET FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD! Grrrrrrr…

I believe that some cars are not equipped with rear-view mirrors, and drivers are forced to tailgate in order to use the rear-view mirror of the car in front of them. I sat here pondering the description of appropriate punishment I had added to my post before deleting it and getting on with my life…

They blame texting (and other lack of attention activities) on a lot of accidents, and yet the cops do nothing to enforce that law. Check to see if it’s a primary or a secondary offense. If it’s secondary, then the cops cannot pull you over just for texting. They have to observe some other violatio…
