Pick it up a bit, widja?

What is your favorite/worst pet peeve when it comes to other drivers?
And, naturally, it's all the other drivers who are at fault. I -- and anyone reading this -- are perfect drivers. The late comedian George Carlin said there were two kinds of drivers: The Maniac, those who are going faster than you; and the Idiots, those who are going slower than you.
It's really a crap-shoot out there on the roads. And, frankly, I'm amazed there aren't more accidents. I think the only thing that limits accidents is that we must all be somewhat careful because it's too expensive to have body work done on today's cars. And none of us can afford for our insurance to skyrocket.
And sometimes the too-careful driver is the worst kind.

So my pet peeve is this guy, the too-careful driver: The driver who comes to almost a complete stop on a busy driveway before turning into a business's driveway.
A business's driveway is almost always ample-sized. It has to be. But some drivers approach it like the driveway is covered with nails. And if you happened to rear-end this driver who was sloooowing down to turn, guess who gets the ticket?
You do.
