Ahh, but correlation doesn't imply causation. I'm willing to bet the dingbat just drives bad period. And I'd like folks to explain to me how talking on the cell phone is so incredibly different than eating or chatting with a friend (in the car) or listening intently to the radio and changing the stations.

My number one irritation is close to numbers 3 and 4 - speeding up in an on ramp that leads to an off ramp into a long line of backed-up cars, just so you can go 71 instead of 70. Just merge already and then get left to pass!

my biggest pet peeve is when you approach a red light and there are two lanes of traffic and once the light turns green then the idiot at the front of the line turns on the directional to take a left so everybody has to wait to go around him or they cut off the people in the right lane

My # 1 - People that have no clue HOW to merge and get p*ssed when I don't move over when I have no space to make room for them. That or when I'm forced to brake because they just assume that traffic will move out of their way.

I'm sure she's a bad driver but cell phones just make bad drivers worse. I looked her right in the eye (we were that close) and she was clearly completely absorbed in her phone call and totally unaware of her surroundings. I was an agnostic on the cell phone issue until that happened to me. Now, I've joined the side of big government and limiting freedom (in this anyway).
