I have a real pet peeve about crazy drivers!  
 
Last week when we got that huge dump of snow, I couldn't believe how some people failed to slow down and drive for the conditions! We had numerous fender benders around the city and I even saw that someone rolled their car on the curve near the park on Veteran's Road. OMG people! In the city, you gotta give yourself extra stopping distance. Outside of the city, you just gotta slow down a bit. That curve on Veteran's Road is tricky on a clear dry summer day! It's not rocket science: Snow=slippery roads. Give yourself extra stopping time and don't pull up on the bumper of people in front of you. Even this morning - it seems that people think that roads are fine to drive like it's summer cuz we had a bit of melting this week - but the roads are still slick!  
 
Just to add another note to the Crazy Driver rant... The third lane on 18th street that is marked with Diamonds? It's a BUS LANE or TURNING LANE. Meant only for turning or for buses to cruise straight through. Not for all traffic to use as a speeding lane. It ticks me off when I can't make my turn cuz someone is driving straight through in that lane.
