Ed Janicki of the October 1981 issue of Scouting, cites the following as driving pet peeves: drivers ahead of [him] who do not use turn signals before making a turn teenage drivers who blare out music on the radio while they wait at a stop sign women who apply lipstick at a red light drivers who park in the middle of a yellow line ... taking up two car spaces vans that tailgate [him] on the freeway drivers who zigzag from left lane to middle lane to right lane...and exceed the speed limit because they're behind schedule Vicky DeCoster, author of The Wacky World of Womanhood'', cites "driving around the parking lot for an hour in order to get the closest spot" and insinuating that constantly pressing down on the pedal counts as exercise as driving pet peeve of hers. The poem "Car Complaints and Pet Peeves", by Michael Burdick, expresses the perspective of a car which explains how certain pet peeves cause it to "rust" and "overheat" etc. The piece mentions the following as driving pet peeves: traffic jams cars stopping traffic to allow cars to enter traffic cars not following zipper method when merging parking-lot induced dents and scratches people who drive irresponsibly and use their handicap plates as an excuse pulling out in front of fellow drivers driving well below the posted speed limits weaving from lane to lane driving too close to the centreline terrible roads flying debris from uncovered trucks litter on the road people blinding oncoming traffic with headlights See also Etiquette Rules of the road References Driving Etiquette by situation Rules of the road
