Let me in, it's the law!

It's not legal to block street access with a motor vehicle, for instance when you're driving down a main road with side roads you aren't legally permitted to stop in front of them. Today I decided not to stand for that kind of road blocking nonsense, as I had to turn out from my street left onto a main road that was being blocked by a car. The crossing guards were down since there was a train, which is why traffic was backed up so far, and that's why my street was being blocked by traffic and I couldn't conveniently turn left. I pulled out anyways, and stuck the front of my car in front of the person who was in front of the person blocking my street, which I am quite sure he was doing on purpose. Once again, people will never cease to amaze me with how truly awful they are at following the law while using their vehicles, or even using them well.

Turning? I had NO IDEA!

People who for some reason refuse to use turn signals truly do make life awful. I can't stand when there's barely a cars length of space and they come flying in front of you with no warning. Weaving in and out of traffic as if making some sort of 90 miles an hour wicker basket. You try to give them the flashing hand sign for please use your blinker, you get in front of them using your turn signal so that you can show them how to do and set an example for them, you even flip back and forth between your left and right signal whilst driving in front of them and then give them the what the heck is your problem questioning hand in the air yet they STILL can't seem to get the idea through their heads that maybe they should use their signals. I'm seriously contemplating putting a sign on the hood and trunk of my car saying "Don't be ignorant, use turn signals!" so that people will know why I'm brandishing my double toucans. Please, for the safety and sanity of everybody else on the road as well as you, use your turn signals.

Trapped on the road with no way out!

If there is one thing that I hate merely for the fact that it makes no sense, it is random traffic jams. You're cruising down the highway when all of the sudden you're forced to come to a halt, and then you crawl along the pavement for a few miles. Eventually you come to a clearing and traffic picks up again, congratulations, you've made it out of the......wait a minute....NOT AGAIN. Bam, just like that you're caught up in more congestion, no warning of any sort, no real reason as to why it's happening. This pattern continues for a long while until you finally reach your exit and the situation is over, but why on earth did it occur in the first place? Allow me to speculate and explain how I feel this happens...or not. I don't know and I don't feel like trying to figure it out, the main point here is that they suck because they come out of nowhere and bite you in the ass. Random road jams are AWFUL.

Driving: Even idiots can do it!

Well, this is a pretty generic one that everybody can relate to. I was stopping at a four way intersection going south. The person traveling east and I stopped at the same time, and the person traveling west stopped after us both. After the person traveling north who had stopped before all of us went I let the guy going east go first. After he went I went, but before I was out the first half of the intersection the jerk going west started to go as if he was supposed to go before I was. That was irritating, but not as bad as later on. I saw about 5 cars blow through a red light at a four way only because there was a train blocking travel in one direction. Now I saw a lot more bad driving today and every single other day as a matter of fact and that brought something to my attention. Every single person that drives ignores multiple rules of the road. Nobody actually drives as the law states that they should. I think it's just that people are either too lazy to care, or they just don't care at all, and in both cases they're probably ignorant morons as well. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not always perfect myself but I don't blatantly ignore laws such as stopping at red lights. People need to wise up and start following the rules of the road, not for them, but for the safety of those around them.
