What surprises me is that nobody has mentioned MY version of the worst problem in driving: I believe the term is "cut through in front of you". In most cases, i have to slam the brakes. It only happens on crowded places, with speeds around 35-45 mph. The jerk will see a hole and without any signals, will cut in front of me. If the 1/2 jerk puts signals, it is usually AFTER doing it and looks sympathetic when I honk with all the power of my whistles. The funny thing is that I get 1-2 every day when i drive my little bitty Toyota (72 corrola). But it only drops to 1-2 A MONTH with my fiance's Olds Delta 88 Royale monster. I guess people are afraid of it and leave all kinds of distance, signals, etc. The worst thing is that if an accident happens, the friendly police and insurance companies will consider it my fault since I hit from behind.....
