I try to avoid that whole stretch of road as much as I can, and the only time I'm down there is when I have a hankering for Pho from Little Saigon, or need shoes from Track Shack.

My biggest pet peeve didn't make the top 10?!
Here in Texas, for whatever reason, and if it's the law I'll slink away, however... here in Texas, a majority of drivers do NOT advance (slowly and carefully) into the intersection when waiting for a break in opposing traffic to make a left on a green. In L.A., two cars can always make the left at least on the amber light. Here, they just stay there. Behind the line! And no one gets through. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

2. If you've got to drive slow, you better know where to go. Those who putz in the fast lane ranked as the second-biggest driving annoyance.
1. And the Big Kahuna, the No. 1 act that survey respondents said made them grind their teeth down to a pulp when they saw other drivers doing it? You guessed it -- chatting on the cell phone. Some 28.5 percent of those surveyed would like you to hang it up the next time you hit the road.
I find these two related. At least 95% of the time I have to pass someone in a left lane going well below the speed limit on the freeway, they are on their cell phone.

NJ is a toilet run by greedy incompetents. And the residents love being simple-minded minions who love to sit in traffic and pay tolls on the GSP. They had the chance to join an end toll organization and elect a governor who vowed to end the tolls and instead chose to elect a queer, left-wing, tax-and-spend liberal. They deserve all the traffic, congestion, tolls, property taxes they get.

Around here the "fast lane" is the right lane. The left is clogged with rubber-necking tourists and ladder-covered, mulch-filled, illegal-immigrant-navigated work trucks.
Ah, life in paradise...
To: taxed2death
some see being stuck in traffic needlessly as "dumb" Some see being stuck in the grave as being needlessly dumb.
I hope you don't cause someone else to be harmed by your "smartness".
Stay well, and good luck. (you will need it)

I really hate it when people almost come to a complete stop before getting into the left turn lane, or worse, they stop halfway between the turn lane and the regular lane to make their turn. Or even even worse, they don't use it at all and just stop in the thru traffic/regular lane.

Cell phone drivers are the most clueless, inconsiderate jerks on the road. Nope. There are clueless, inconsiderate jerks all over the roads. Some have cell phones, some don't. I have seen "soccer moms" do incredibly stupid things and then act righteous.
I use a cell phone all the time in the Corvette. However, you would no know it since I use hands-free Bluetooth. No different than talking to a passenger.
