I also love people who go through an intersection and hit the person 
that ran the red light - in plain view.  Like you couldn't see someone 
was going to hit you or you were going to hit someone.

Driving on the shoulder is illegal here as well, but people don't care.
If you are driving on the shoulder and you get hit (even if it is 
because the other person failed to look) it is your fault.  I know 
several people who thought they were cheated because it turned out to be 
their fault for driving on the shoulder.

I honestly do not care how fast a person drives - just respect the 
others around you.  If the traffic is heavy, don't cause problems by 
weaving and the like.

If someone is bring a jerk, it's best to just let them past and get way 
ahead of you so that their actions don't cause you to get into an accident.
