I wish I had personally seen it myself:

Answer 2

I always see people holding their cell phone talking while driving, holding a cigarette and looking for something or putting on make up, or reading.

When I see people multi tasking while driving, I usually honk the horn to scare them into paying attention.

Answer 3

I was on the highway heading back home from picking my 5 year old nephew up who lives about an hour away. We were buckled in safely, however, Im not sure how much help would have given us if I hadnt switched lanes after the man with a huge truck load of furniture had belongings that werent tied down and began to falling/flying out onto the highway. I barely ditched the old skool lazy boy recliner that just flew into the road. I was so freaked out. He was driving around 60, and I guess I just assumed everything must had been strapped down. How irresponsible!

Two days ago, I was on the same highway and a STOVE fell out of a mans truck. I was the person behind him, but luckily I had PLENTY of room to get around it. He was swerving from the Fastest Lane......QUICKLY over through the lanes and just as he got to the furthest one, the d**n thing fell over and on to the road......geez..

Answer 4

a hummer.

Answer 5

I think I'm going to have to vote up the people who get in the left (fast) lane, and have their heads glued to a cellphone.  Without fail, these people are consistantly slower than the rest of traffic, and they're getting in the way.

I realize I might be a fossil for suggesting you HANG UP AND DRIVE, but if you're incapable of shutting your pie hole for 30 minutes, could you at least move your distracted self into the slow lanes and let other people drive?

Answer 6

These answerers have seen some dumb people! My biggest pete peeve is when people do not stop at stop signs! And they think they have the right of way. Today at Shaws parking lot there is a 3 way stop, and a guy sped right through one of the signs. Of course he was on his cell phone! Also I hate when people turn on a red light when there is a green light and I AM RIGHT THERE! lol I guess you can say I have a slight case of road rage.

Answer 7

- As far as traffic management goes:  Excessive use of left-turn arrows at intersections.  I always wonder how much fuel is wasted each day by the long lines of idling cars that have to sit and wait for left turn arrows when they could otherwise just safely turn left without the arrows on a regular green light.  The long lines of stopped cars waiting for people to turn left at these arrows also has to waste TONS of fuel.

- As far as driver's behavior goes:  People who try to "merge" onto a fairly busy freeway going 20+mph below the speed limit.  **Bonus points for people who do the above and then immediately cut over 2 or more lanes to get into the far left lane and proceed to drive 5-10mph below the speed limit and clog up the entire freeway.

Answer 8

i once saw a guy in boxers eating a banana,pulling on his pants, and typing a report onhis laptop... scary. O.o

Answer 9

this guy lifting up his shirt airing his stomach for the whole world to see....

Answer 10

lol i was stopped on this road that was pretty popular at the end is a stop sign cause and you can go left or right. this road is two laned but there was a lot of traffic and everyone was passing this guy who was stopped at the stop sign well when i passed him i saw he was sleeping! lol this guy feel asleep while stopped at a stop sign. i guess its better than falling asleep while driving.

Answer 11

There is always the person applying their makeup, but the weirdest for me was seeing a guy eating a bowl of cereal.  (Assuming cereal, he had a bowl and spoon.)
