Cars I don't mind so much. They do all kinds of crazy stuff while I watch them in my 2 rear view mirrors.
It is the new scooter/motorcycle riders that I want to throw a crow bar into their wheels. I'm in the right tire track of the 4 lane road which is empty and they try and hold their line in the center of the lane so they pass me with inches to spare. I can understand staying in the same lane but they could at least move over a bit and still not get close to those raised lane marker bump thingies.
Then at the light they start saying they wish they could ride a bike but 6, 8, 11, x miles is too far so they just got their motorcycle when gas prices shot up and I'm lucky I live so close. "Yes sir I live 22 miles from work" ends the conversation real quick.
