People that tailgate me, causing me to unexpectedly hit my brakes in the middle of the highway. Don't be that person.

If I'm driving on a 4 lane and they're tailgating me I lift my foot off the gas pedal and start coasting but I've had to pull over on the shoulder to get some idiot to pass me. It seems like every time I pull a trailer I have some idiot right behind the trailer and I drive at the speed limit!

I always hated the folks that tailgate a trailer. I usually have firewood, implements or a tractor on a trailer, and secure it so there will never be a problem, but there are people that don't. The folks that tailgate trailers with a load are taking a big risk.

I honk at them if they're sitting there texting!

Ditto, if i see the person staring at their phone, my fuse gets real short. If the reminder honk does not make the person look up and put the phone away, I may honk continuously until the car clears the intersection. Im not proud of this. Driving easily brings out the worst in me :nolike:

You won't be doing it to me I don't tailgate people if you are not driving fast enough then I will pass you instead of tailgating.

Yep, I just pass them.

I also let people know when they are weaving into my lane on the hwy because they are on the phone.

People that can't pick a speed.

It annoys me to no end when some moron will drive 25 in a 55 zone with curves, and then speed up to 5-10 over during the 1 passing zone in a 10 mile stretch.

Or on a 6 lane highway, and they're going 60 in a 65 in the left lane. Until you try to pass them on the right, then they'll speed up to match you; or even faster.
