People who cannot make a right turn into a driveway without first coming to a complete stop in the street.

I want to add, think they’re driving a tractor trailer when making right turns.

Slight exception to your comment — my house is on a busy street with a 40mph posted speed limit. My driveway is perpendicular to the roadway (no “wide-mouth” apron or anything like that), and it also has an incline at the bottom, so unless I want to wreck my front bumper or possibly whack into the borders on either side of the driveway, I have to take the turn relatively slowly.

My pet peeve would be the countless morons who tailgate me AFTER I’ve put my blinker on and started slowing down to make the right turn into my driveway, especially considering that I know how often this can happen so I signal and slow down with quite a bit of warning before coming upon my driveway. It’s especially annoying when they beep at me — sorry pal, but I signaled and slowed down, quit tailgating me and you won’t have a problem. I even had a woman pull her minivan over to berate me (never mind that people were beeping at her for stopping short on a busy road!) — I let a few choice words out about her ability to drive and she stormed back into her minivan (not mature on my part, I know, but I felt better!)
