I'd make your license plate number the same as your cell phone number

I think the police need to ticket more. Serious, I always, in my town see people break the law right in front of cops and they never do anything. If they actually did this I think a lot more people would obey the laws.

People who dip in my truck and can't make it out. Seriously spit in something. I have never spit on my truck, I guess I have stronger lungs.

less speeding tickets on highways... in town i see a strong reason to slow down, but on a highway, if u keep it under 80 on most roads you are fine...

not stoping at stop signs and cutting people off should have large fines

Tailgating- by far one of my biggest pet peeves. I just keep slamming on the brakes and they keep freaking out. It's actually funny, then most people get the hint and back off.

I really hate when people drive with their turn signal stuck on and leave it on for a couple of miles. It irritates me a lot and i have no clue when they are gonna turn

I have 3 pet peeves:

1. People that pass on double yellows.
2. People that fail to yield.
3. People that roll through stop signs.

lol, sounds like someone drives like an old man!

My biggest one is women drivers in general. They either drive while texting/talking on their phone/applying make up (?!), or they are the worlds most aggressive drivers. Constantly cutting people off that are going above the speed limit just so they can be first in line. I must have to blow my horn and present my "WTF finger" daily.

Tailgaters and highbeamers. If someone's tailgating me, I generally tap the breaks, then if they don't back off I'll slow waay down as long as there's noone behind them. People who keep their high beams on I usually flash mine at them.
I also can't stand people doin 50-55 on the highway. I mean I don't fly down the highway, I do the speed limit, 65mph. But I can't stand it when someone makes me take my cruise control off.

people that dont know how to use a GD on ramp! Ok, the road we are approaching has traffic on it going 75+ MPH and you think you can just get on doing 35-40 MPH... PISSES ME THE F OFF!!! I'm really glad I have a sweet tune on my truck so I can get up to speed super fast so as not to be destroyed by traffic I am merging with...

i have 167,044 driving pet peeves, and many people think i should be a cop

1.use your FREAKIN turn signal
2.if its reasonably dark out side turn your FREAKIN headlights on.
3.if its reasonably dark out side DONT turn you stupid **** park lights on.
4.PARK lights are ment to be used when your PARKED not driving down the road.
5.dont ride the fast lane if your not passing, and if you are passing get back over into the right lane. theres no sense in being in the left lane ALL the time.
6.motorcycle riders...why must you look at EVERY person in EVERY car when you pass? nobody thinks your cool
7.get off the cell phone
8.get off your gps, ipod or anything else.
9.stop littering for petes sake
10.stop means complete stop.
11.RIGHT on red not anywhere on red.
12.nobody wants to hear the music playing in your vehicle, thats why we have radios, so we can listen to what we want.
13.hi beams should be taken off of vehicles because people never turn them off.
14.keep tailgating me and you WILL get a face full of f150!
15.if your gonna pass me, pass me. dont stay beside me for a couple miles or until i slow down/speed up.

theres many more but i think yall will get my point

I love high beamers. Tailgaters too.

Had a guy like 2 weeks ago right on my tail so I turned on my remote control spot light and started turning it face behind the truck. That guy figured it out pretty quick and scooted way back.

I would rewrite the traffic laws to not let my fiance drive! She breaks every law possible and drives like a maniac. She drives a little scion that obviously gets better mileage than my lifted truck so for awhile I was making her drive her car when we went somewhere. I can't stand driving the thing myself. I'm not that big of a guy and yet I still feel cramped in that tiny thing so I refuse to drive it. But when she drives I always have my foot to the floor as if I have my own brake pedal. Talking on the cell phone and putting on make up while driving, tailgating, changing lanes at the last minute, driving extremely slow at times but then speeding up when she is getting passed... Just the other day she met up with me at my sister's house and then followed me home when we left, tailgating me the whole time. It's just the way she drives. I think people develop a certain way of driving and don't see anything wrong with it. You guys think I should have break checked her?
