I have to agree with turn signals. Just on my way back from lunch, I experienced the abrupt right turn right in front of me with no signal. (!) Another well written post Niri!

Let me explain why it's my biggest pet peeve, because I was in a car as a kid and the brakes failed. My older sister was driving us to a church youth rally. She got off the interstate via an off ramp and drove down towards a stop light. She hit the brakes, and guess what, no brakes. Thankfully she was able to turn quickly into another lane and grab the emergency brake. We finally stopped in the intersection. God was really looking out for us because the traffic that had the green light hadn't started moving forward yet, even though they could have. If they had we would have been broadsided with my sister and 5 younger kids in the car. Yet, I always wondered, what if she hadn't had an opening to swing into the other lane, and what if in the other lane there was a car in front of her like there was in the previous lane. I don't want to be rear ended if the car behind me has a brake failure like that. Yet, if they were far enough behind maybe they'd have enough time to try their emergency brake like my sister did. What caused the brake failure, air had gotten into the lines from a very tiny little hole that was probably caused by a sharp rock hitting the area. Stop following so close you tailgaters, because you never know. Yes, especially the tailgaters. Let me explain why it’s my biggest pet peeve, because I was in a car as a kid and the brakes failed.
