Happened this morning... Kind of.

So I'm fairly aggressive, but I don't honk at the world, do nasty things (like Brake Checking and purposely cutting people off), I signal EVERY TIME, even if there's nobody around at 3:00 am in the morning and I truthfully, without hyperbole, am the most efficient and best driver of anyone I've ever met (my father would be in second, who I learned from). I've never gotten a ticket and the only accident I ever had, was a 92 year old woman who ran into me at a stop light (the light was red).

This morning, I'm in the right lane of a 2 lane road, going south. There is about a 1.5-2 car car length, between myself and the car in front. Dry, sunny conditions, good visibility. There is a goddamn Hyundai Santa Fe in the left lane, that just happens to be in between this gap. The guy in front speeds up and in turn, I do as well, however I have an '06 Outback and the acceleration is far from stellar, so the gap now becomes a 2.5-3 car length gap.

Would you believe that the stupid woman in the Santa Fe, SCREECHES over *as she's signaling* and just comes right in front, forcing me to slam on my brakes and move to the left, where traffic is going much slower.

For some VERY stupid reason, she then decides to go 3 KM/H, below the speed limit and slow everybody behind her down. Just can't believe the pickles up these idiots' asses.

I ALWAYS do and I make it a point to tell anyone I'm in a car with, to always say thank you to others.

Anyways, I have 2 main pet peeves:

2. Turning without signaling. I WILL honk obnoxiously at you, every time; Its a damn courtesy, help others out.
1. Biggest of all, you have a green light and you go on your brakes. Not only will I honk obnoxiously, I will ensure to get as far away as possible, from your dangerous ass.
