Or when you are turning left somewhere, and while waiting for cross traffic to pass some jackass 'forgets' to turn his blinker and turns in where you want to turn, then OF COURSE goes 20 miles under the speed limit and holds you up. FUCKING PEOPLE.
I agree with you Awesomeness, just because you may drive faster does NOT make you a bad driver. I sometimes go 5 over the speed limit depending on where I am and what kind of a hurry I'm in, and I cannot stand it when people purposely go slower to piss me off.
One thing, people who slam on their breaks to get you off their tail?(you know, they could just get in the right lane and let you pass them but NO). These people are dumbasses. Why would you purposely put yourself in danger of an accident? Just plain dumb.
I could go on and on about driving pet peeves, but it will piss me off just thinking about it.

Roffles. FIVE over the speed limit? That's not fast, sweetie. Once, I pushed my '96 Chevy Corsica to 114 on the interstate. My car was shaking. I got breast cancer. It was teh hawt. 
I'm a total speed demon. I HATE it when people drive the speed limit in the left lane.
I used to work a good 30 minutes from home in Denver. I got off work at 3p.m., right after all of the old fucks had taken their meds. Talk about frustration. Old people suck. They should die soon.

I have to say moving from NY to the UK is a culture shock on the road. Anyone who's driven in the metro NY area or just about anywhere in the North East knows what I'm talking about. Granted we do have the odd idiot, but in general courtesy on the road and skilled driving is wide spread.
In the UK
When you want to change lanes here you use this blinking light which indicates to other drivers the direction of your desired lane. It's also used when turning left or right. When you activate this "indicator" other drivers will take notice of your desire to get in front of them and they will adjust their speed so as to increase the distance from the front of their car to the rear of yours. They often will also add the acknowledgment of a flash of the high beams to let on that they understand your intentions and to let you know it's safe to proceed. When one lets another driver in it is also customary for the recipient of good will to flash one's hazard lights once or twice as a nonverbal gesture of thanks.
On Long Island
When a driver wants to change lanes they look for an elusive gap just barely big enough to fit in. They then stealthily maneuver to begin their assault. But the other driver has seen this before. He is a veteran of the asphalt battlefield. His eyes shift to the side and he spots the invader giving away his intentions by looking at the slightly larger than one car length space between him and the car ahead. As the invader's assault begins he gently and skillfully depresses the throttle pedal bringing to bear all four cylinders of road warrior fury upon his foe. He closes the gap sealing the invaders fate and cutting off his advance. This battle is won ...for now.
The invader then begins his flanking assault of hand gestures and threatening maneuvers designed to break his nerve. He makes an attempt to get in anyway hoping the defender will withdraw for fear of collision. This often leads to the rolling down of windows and more aggressive exchange of hand gestures and verbal sorties. This can go on for some time, eventually ending in both parties pulling to the side and making their last stand in hand to hand combat.
