GET THE FVCK OUT OF THE LEFT LANE UNLESS YOU ARE PASSING SOMEONE!
That's my one. Once that one is fixed, I'm sure there will be another.
As a side note, I was watching Superstructures or some such show on Discovery or something and they were doing a thing on the Autobahn, talking about the technology, enforcement, etc. and what makes this strech of road so legendary. It was facinating, however, the ONE thing they didn't mention was that the #1 reason that the Autobahn works is the fact that drivers there are TRAINED how to drive and part of that is LANE DISCIPLINE!!

Okay so everything listed here I've had a problem with but abot two weeks ago this is a new one...
Driving at night (around 9 pm) and it's a fairly dark back road, but not narrow at all. This person driving a volvo infront of me kept slamming on his/her brakes when a car on the opposite side was coming. It wasn't enough for them to be going 30 in a 40, but would almost come to a stop when a car is coming the other way.
In Massachusetts there are two types of plates, one with red lettering and one with green lettering. The green ones are extremely old and any car on the road with green plates is pretty much an old person.
guess what color the volvo's plates were...
[EDIT]
Oh this isn't a driving peeve, but I HATE IT when someone checks out my G and notices i have xenon lights and say "those things suck, they blind people". I'm too nice to say something like "i don't care if they blind you, i like them"

1) tailgaters...if we're both stuck in rush hour traffic, you riding my a$$ isn't gonna help you get there any faster.
2) people that brake every 5 seconds even though there's nobody in front of them
3) dumba$$ mergers who come to a stop in front of you and then hover around, checking the next lane 10 times before finally merging.
4) 16 year old kids that try and race me in their rice rockets. i don't care how big your wing is...you're still not gonna beat me
5) people who clean their windshields while driving. that happened to me once right after i had washed my car *shakes fist in air*
6) and the worst? those asian ladies that drive around wearing those colored visors...they look like welding masks to me
does anyone else know what i'm talking about?

2. Woman doing makeup while driving (I saw a woman doing makeup while driving in the parking lot, it was stop and go…crazy!!!)
3. People who clean their windshields while driving in the highway. (saw two teens doing it for fun with their truck. It was liked waterfall to other cars behind them.
4. People who race in the highway and careless other people safety.
5. People who drive $$$$ car with cell on and very slow. (saw one today, this guy was driving in between 30 cars distances. He blocked the traffic big time)
6. See another G driver and don’t smile at me. Let be friends!!!

In general I despise ignorance. The ignorance could be from not being observant enough or caring enough about the surroundings to just plan stupidity and having an IQ of a squirrel. Either way in every facet of life ignorant people annoy me and are the bane of the human race.
That said, since driving requires a somewhat substantial amount of attention and skill ignorance shines through the brightest there.
My top ten list of STUPID things that drivers do that really annoys me:
10)Not paying attention when the first in line at a red light and not seeing it turn green.
9) Making a mean face at you cause you blow the horn after 10 sec of them having their thumb up their *** at a green traffic light.
8) Drivers whether old, nearly blind, or young and scared ****less that drive 10 or more mph slower than the posted limit.....welcome to the 21st Century if you cant keep up get out the way!
7) Tailgaters, if their is traffic in front of me where the *** do you think you are gonna go by riding my ***?
6) Fart can exhausts on ****ty cars/flow masters on redneck bob's 4x4, I dont want to hear that and it doesnt sound good.
5) Idiots that have no system in their car but the have the treble and volume all the way up and think they are hot ****.
4) Fools driving cars with parts falling or hanging off with no lights or inspection sticker, that is a hazard get that **** off the road!
3) Left lane drivers oblivous to the world driving the exact speed of someone in the right lane and blocking traffic for miles, this includes idiot big rig drivers that try to pass something going up a steep grade......get a clue dumb ***.
2) People that are constantly on and off the accelerator (when I ride with them) HOLY **** push it and keep it their I cant ride with those people but once.
1) AND FINALLY the thing that is most annoying of all and is a habit shared by probably 80% of drivers on the roads, I call it the "nose to the ***" syndrome.
Basically ever noticed how most drivers are so inempt that they can not make their own decisions while driving, THEREFORE they instinctly like cattle keep their "nose" following the "***" in front of them, if the car in front slows down they do, if the car speeds up they do, whether there are 3 lanes and no cars in the other lanes. Ive seen it so many times, im driving along and slowly a car catches up with me on interstate or highway and then they sit there 2 car lengths off my bumper no matter how much I vary my speed to make them pass and no matter that the left lane is wide open they just stay right behind me, from 60 to 80 they follow my "***"
ok, now I feel better

1. People riding directly next to you on the highway when there are no other cars on the highway, and they won't pass you or get behind you.
2. When you try to speed up to pass someone because someone is behind you, and they speed up and do not let you pass.
3 People with garbage stereo systems that turn the volume all the way up, just so you can hear their music and how shot all of their speakers are.
4. People who don't take care of their vehicles, so when you are next to them at a light with you windows down, all you hear is the obnoxious sound of their belts squealing when they pull off.
5. Red lights that don't turn for a couple minutes, even when there are no other cars on the road.

I'm sure these have been listed by now but, anyways:
1. Stupid drivers that get right on my *** on a steep hill (when it's obvious i'm driving a manual
2. Drivers talking on cell phones, eating, putting on makeup, etc.
3. Teens driving tc's that try to rev like they can actually beat me in a race
4. Slow *** drivers in the fast lane
5. Cops
