The un controlled intersection thing gets me all the time. Just yesterday on my way to work I take a semi short cut through a residential area. Lots of uncontrolled intersections. Some guy is just flying through and doesn't even look at me, on his right, or attempt to stop. I lay on the horn and he looks at me all pissed off and gives me the finger.. well he was going the opposite way from the hospital so it couldn't be any kind of emergency like that.. just an ignorant old prick that didn't know how to drive.

I work right by the campus I attended for my degree so I have been traversing these backroad residential streets for years now and this happens about once a week.. if I am not the guy paying attention I could have written off a 100 cars by now.

People who tail gate really piss me off as well. I generally go between 50-60, depending on the road, if its a straight away with no residential or pedestrians I will go 60+ in a 50, otherwise I am pretty cautious. I have never been in an accident and I would like to keep it that way.. also here in Stoon we get a lot of "locals" drunkenly stumbling across the street at random times on my end of the city, so I have to be paying attention and go a speed that allows me to slow down if need be.

Last winter I was doing about 55 down a 50 street, fairly busy street here (19th W for anyone in Stoon or who knows the City) Also kind of a rough part of town, with a lot of "locals". There is a guy behind me just riding my ass beyond belief, and not in that way like he was in his car there was nothing gay or sexual about it. Anyway, I continue at my speed and there is a right hand lane, so I figure he will just take it and go around me. But no, he persists, so up the block I see some "locals" trying to cross the street, at a crosswalk mind you, and typical prairie drivers NOBODY is stopping. So I start to slow down and this asshat has had enough! Screw this guy going 55 on icey slippery roads in the middle of winter on a busy cross walk street! He hammers it to go around me, not even noticing what I have stopped for, what is right infront of him, and damn near takes the first ones head off as he attempts to cross the street. Jerkface McClownShoes doesn't even pause, he just keeps ripping down the road probably blaring Nickleback and beating his girlfriend with his spare fist. They all kind of looked at me and then even more cautiously than before stumbled across the road.. but like I mean this guy was inches away from going right over this group.. if they had stepped off the road 2 seconds earlier it would have been lights out.
