Revision to Gus Wagner's Top Five Worst Driving Errors
Advertising
While I think Gus Wagner makes a good point in his article about the driving errors, I feel that some revisions are in order. These are the real top five most annoying driving errors.

5. Driving in the left lane on the interstate can be annoying. I get that you don't want to be stuck behind slow pokes, but if no one is to the right, get over already!

4. Extracurricular activites while driving are a pain to the other drivers. Get off of your cell phone and quit running red lights when it's my turn to go!

3. Tailgating is dangerous and it will not make me drive any faster! Please, quit riding my butt when I am going five miles per hour over the speed limit, or I WILL slow down, especially in a no passing zone.

2. When a person does not use their blinker, it is downright inconsiderate. No one likes to slam on the breaks because they find out the person in front of them decided to turn without a blinker. Also, you are asking for a wreck, because not everyone pays attention enough to notice you slowing down without the turn signal. It also disrupts the flow of traffic  and the right of way rule. I promise that it does not require any strength or time at all to turn on a blinker.  Learn to use it.

1. The worst error of all is when a person pulls out in front of you; especially when there is no one behind you. Stop making me slam on the breaks because you are too impatient to wait for five more seconds so I can continue going the speed limit! These people are clearly too inconsiderate to care that other people have a place to go.
