Driving is not for everyone, but that doesn't seem to stop the issuance of licenses in this country. What is the most disturbing behavior of bad drivers in your opinion?
Please copy the previous post so that we can compile a list:
I'll start:
1. Poor lane discipline (i.e. wandering unknowingly into another lane on the highway, crossing over multiple lanes when making a 90 degree turn at an intersection and stopping in the middle of a two lane road at a red light because there is no lane painted in the road.) You're driving 1 car, keep it in 1 lane.

My Ride: stock non-sport alpine white '04 530i
people who suck at driving in general, they go slow, and are a hazard to anyone around them, turn signals go on 2-3 blocks before turning, brake abruptly, etc.

Not sure if this would be considered "bad driving", but it is certainly stupid driving...
When people drive 10 mph below the speed limit in the passing lane.
I seriously wish they would pull people over for driving in the passing lane. Pass left and drive right people!!!!
(Not you people... well maybe some of you)

Some of the things I've seen...
Cell phone in one hand and the other hand making gestures.
Cell phone in one hand swerving all over the road in your Merc S550...not sure where his other hand was.
Cell phone balanced on shoulder and searching through bag or purse.
Reading the newspaper...a broadsheet not even a tabloid!
Reading a book...must have been a good read if he couldn't put it down.
Drink in one hand Big Mac in the other.
Doing makeup...while moving at 70mph
Doing hair.
+++ Not bad driving but something that bugs me...driving with an arm hanging out of the window...if you can't get both arms in your car get a bigger car.

My Ride: 2008 M5 Saphire - All available options
2006 530i Mystic Blue - All available options for 06
2004 Ford Expedition - Boat hauler.
I live in SoCal so all of the above (and future posts) + More! I think the one thing that pisses me off most is when these morons ride my ass and I'm already going 90 and cant go any faster because of other cars in front of me.
Another thing I have noticed is I get cut off a lot more in my E60 than in my Maxima or even my Truck...I know there is a post regarding people acting out against E60's and I believe it to be true.
Cheers!

Speaking of cell phones...
How many states now prohibit driving while talking on a hand held phone? If so, does your state enforce it?
They started enforcing it here in NJ a couple of months ago and it seems to be working somewhat. I think the fine is ~$175.
