I have two main pet peeves when it comes to driving. One: I totally agree with you about turn signals. I hate when people don't signal to change lanes. If someone changes into the lane in front of me without utilizing their turn signal, I speed either turn my signal on behind them and leave it on for a while, or cut in front of them and leave it on for a while. Two: People who don't have their headlights on when driving at night. This is happening more and more often I notice. I saw someone driving without their headlights on while speeding down Pearl Road in Parma a few weeks ago (doing 40+ mph in a 25 mph zone where there are ALWAYS cops... duh!) and so I did the flash the headlights thing and beeped and made a flashy hand gesture outside the car window at them and then yelled, "YOUR LIGHTS!" as they sped past in the other direction. The guy, who was likely drunk off his rocker, actually flipped me off and then turned around and started following me in an obvious fit of drunken road rage. The hell? I'm doing my civil duty to make his life better and to possibly save someone's life (let alone lave them from an obvious and expensive DUI) and he wants to stalk and hurt me? Again, the hell?
