10 Annoying Things While Driving

Are you ever driving down the road and just happen to look over at the person in the car next to you? A lot of times you catch them doing something they're not supposed to be doing, or it is just an awkward situation, especially when they look back and make eye contact! Sometimes they are even doing things that just make you wonder, WHY?

I went around and asked my co-workers what people do that annoy them and make them wonder while driving!

1.) Nose Picking
     First of all, why would you do that anyways? Secondly, while driving! I mean come on, your car is full of windows, you are not invisible!

2.) Blinker
     If you are going to turn right, use the right blinker, not the left one. And if you are done turning, make sure your blinker is off before your driving 10 miles up a road and confusing everyone behind you!

3.) Putting Make-Up On
     How is this even really possible? It's hard enough to put it on at home, but while driving? Please ladies, put it on before you leave or when you get to your destination!

4.) Tailgating
     Following closely is dangerous as is, but it is also an annoying habit drivers have. Especially at night or in bad weather when they are so close you can not even see their headlights in your mirrors! Back off please!

5.) Texting
     Illegal as is, some guy in a big pick-up truck was in the middle of the road the other day pulling out of a gas station. He was blocking almost all of the road so I let him go and he gave me a wave, but I noticed that his hand had a glowing object in it. He was texting or on the phone! Maybe if he wasn't doing that, he would not have been blocking the road, he would have hopefully been paying attention.

6.) Right Turn
     They make road signs for a reason, to protect and organize people while driving. When the sign says no turn on red, don't go!

7.) The On-Ramp
     Speed Limit-65. Minimum-45. Why go 35 getting on the highway....

8.) Green Means Go!
     This has to be the worst when you are running late in the morning. People just sit at the light and don't even notice that it has turned green...

9.) Get There Alive!
     Sometimes people are in such a rush that they do not care about safety. They zip in and out of lanes on the highway thinking that they can get there before anyone else. I love when later on I see them either pulled over, or stuck in a slow lane of traffic. Just smile on the way by!!

10.) That is not a lane!
     Have you ever been stuck in traffic when a concert comes to town? Some people think that they are invisible and drive in the break down lane because obviously nobody is there...but that does not make it right! Everyone has to wait, you are no different!

Just remember out on the road that just because someone may annoy you with their bad driving habits, does not mean you have to. Control road rage, and just keep smiling!
