We've all encountered them. We all hate them. Sometimes, we even are them. Here are 10 types of drivers we've all seen while trying to get from point A to point B.
1. No blinker offenders
Pretty sure one of the things you need to do to pass your driver's test is to use your blinker for a turn, but for some reason, people don't think you need to use it in the real world. Blinkers are a beautiful way to let the car behind you know you're about to slow down to turn. Please use them.
2. Last minute turners
Maybe the person's lost or almost missed their turn, but last-second turning is definitely one of the most annoying driving habits. If the car in front of you is a last-second turner, be ready to slam on the brakes and pray you don't slam into them.
3. Stoplight texters
I have to admit that I am definitely this type of driver. But, hey at least it's better than texting while driving! These type of drivers have probably been responsible for you missing a whole green light cycle because they were too busy playing on their phone while the light was red. Sometimes honking your horn doesn't even grab their attention.
4. Three-second horn honkers
Listen. If the light has been green for less than two seconds, there is no need to honk your horn to tell me to start driving. I see that the light is green. I am getting ready to press the gas pedal. Everything is going to be all right.
5. The flashers when it's raining
Do not do this. Putting your hazard lights on in the rain is a huge no-no. It distracts other drivers, and you are only supposed to use your hazard lights if you are stopped on the road. So, thanks for blinding me, mister flashing car, driving in the left lane, 20 under the speed limit.
6. Under the speed limit in the left lane
The left lane is used for passing other cars, the center lane is used for driving and the right lane is used if you're going slower than normal traffic. Please, please, please, do not go under the speed limit in the left lane.
7. Accidental blinker usage
The drivers that have been driving for a solid five miles with their blinker on are the worst. You slow down in order to let them over, but after a couple seconds, they don't even move. How do you not hear the sound of your blinker going off constantly?!
8. Motorcyclists who don't use lanes
Just because you're driving on two wheels instead of four does not give you the right to not use a lane. If I have to be stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, then so do you.
9. Last-second brake slammers
Having a mini heart attack when the person behind you almost doesn't stop is one of the scariest moments. Please try your hardest to not almost rear end me at red lights. These drivers give me so much anxiety.
10. Yellow light stoppers
When the light has just turned yellow and you can clearly make it before it turns red, so you speed up to go through the light when—psych!—the person in front of you slams on their brakes. Terrifying and also annoying because now you have to sit through the red light.
These types of drivers are all the worst, and we've all experienced them before. But let's face it, we've all been one of these at least once while driving. Maybe we should all start walking everywhere and call it a day; or at least make the driving test harder
