If you are a tailgater
You are the problem The problem is any oblivious, discourteous driver. If any driver does anything to antagonize another drivers emotions that is being aggressive. Pushing buttons! WWJD? I agree

Not using turn signal when changing lanes. Seriously, how hard is this?
Driving with your flashers on. If you're scared...get the F off the road.
Inattention at stop lights/signs. Put the damn phone down!

Drivers weaving in and out of traffic even if the traffic is pretty heavy.
Drivers not paying attention to the lights and don't start moving when the light turns green. I've missed green lights many times due to this.
Truckers passing another truck at 60 MPH in a 70 MPH and taking 5 miles to do it.

I have another one that Mrs RayBob was griping about to me yesterday . . . not common to most of y'all tho . . . she is going to work at 0630 in her Rav4 down the county road and a huge logging skidder pulls out of the woods in front of her, does about 8mph for a mile, before entering another cut area. It's not even good light out. She clocked in 1 minute late requiring her to stay at work another 15 minutes to not get docked for 15 minutes. A 1 minute earlier clock-in and she leaves early without penalty. The skidder took up the whole road, she said, and couldn't pass (county dirt road). She drives 5 miles of this graded only road before reaching paved road so logging trucks are a regular issue but their equipment not so much. Log trucks generally stop in the middle of the road after a mile or 2 down the dirt road to tighten their chain binders on their load.
Anyway, loggers own the roads around here. I worked with a guy whose BFF drove logging truck in Oregon. Someone pulled out in front him and a dougas fir log went through the cab. It was not pretty. It is possible the load was not secured properly.

I sometimes drive 35 to Belton headed to the deer or going to brothers house in Burnet. The people in Teslas and German sports cars are the worse about using the whole highway. Depending on patience level I either count to 3 or 5 when someone at a light is not paying attention before they get the horn.

If you're on a 2 lane FM road and someone in front of you is turning left, do NOT stop behind them! Go around on the shoulder. What happens when an oncoming car, that you can’t see is turning left also and crosses in front of you as you blow past on the shoulder? Just asking

People driving over speed bumps in parking lots like they are holding an open container of nitroglycerin. Even worse is when that driver is in a bro dozer truck.

Same stretch of 35 for 30 years basically North of Denton to Carrollton...
-Rock Haulers in the left lane
-anyone and especially big truck drivers weaving around because they are on their stupid phones
-cars driving side by side where no one can pass
-people going around a line on the shoulder when everyone is waiting to get past an accident. If everyone would merge and stay in line we would all get through it much faster.
-Okies going North on 35 all drive slow and in the left lane
-TXDOT putting toll lanes and concrete barriers down the middle of the freeway instead of just adding more lanes
-Stinky, broken exhaust
-and last for now, people who don't tie down ladders...
See you on the lake and have a great day!

People driving without their lights on during heavy fog. That something you used to never see, but nowadays half the cars on the road drive in the fog with no headlights.

Passing a left turning vehicle in the right hand shoulder of the road is against the law and the other car turning left would have the right away. There is a nice set of crosses close to my house where a family was killed by someone doing that exact same thing. Because that one person was in too big of a hurry and went around the car turning left in front of them. They didn’t realize that there was two opposing cars turning at the same time. The car that was broad sided had the right of way and shouldn’t have had to look for the driver breaking the law.

If you are a tailgater
You are the problem If you're in the left lane and not passing someone it's not tailgating, it's drafting.
