I was driving through weaving hills through this small hill top town, and cars in front of me would break as they were turning, and I was behind them wanting to accelerate. Really annoying.

I hear ya, but I'm fairly forgiving of people that brake when turning in residential areas because you just never know when there's a kid or a dog just around the corner, hidden by the parked car. What really drives me bananas is when the guy in front of me brakes when going around a one of those right turn corners on two bigger roads where there's a lane and a triangular median. If he'd just LOOK while he's going straight, he can see what approaching traffic he's dealing with and not have to brake as he's going around the corner.
