I am using QEII as an example.
And there is my biggest complaint about drivers. Not following the law.

On the roads, there should be ZERO room for courtesy. I am as nice of a guy as they come, but if everyone followed the law, right down to every detail, there would be no need for courtesy.

Driving the wrong speed in the wrong lane, driving less than the speed limit (unless poor road conditions), merging incorrectly, falling out of the proper rotation at a 4-way stop, slowing for a stale green, not turning right on a red light (where permitted), etc, etc ... when the law is not followed to a Tee (sometimes due to people being 'courteous'), it all falls apart.
