- Peeve: Idiots who don't know that turn signals
- are for signalling what they *intend* to do, not
- what they're doing. Typically they turn on the
- blinkers about the same time they start to turn
- the steering wheel.
-
- Peeve: (Usually the same) idiots who don't know
- how to exit an expressway. Seen today: Car in
- front of me. 65 mph; exit ramp approaches;
- slow to 35mph (exit speed), pull into exit lane,
- turn on signals.
-
- Peeve: (Possibly the same) idiots who think
- that a car turning left has the right of way over
- the on-coming traffic. Derived peeve:
- agressive idiots (especially prevalent in NH)
- turning left who demand/grab the right of way.
- Related peeve: Idiots who let them get away
- with it.
