    Basically every time I get on the road. They call them "clovers", I call them D-bags!

    I call them "mothers-in-law". When their (usually daughter) gets married, they have the requisite lobotomy performed and afterward they drive just like the aforementioned "clovers". In addition to Buicks, Ford Tauruses are popular vehicles for such "drivers".

    I see that a lot as well. With the exception being the "Back into parking spaces?" one. Rarely do people around here back into spaces, and if they do it's usually done okay. What we do have are the people who pull into spots and fit that description...their back tire is halfway in the lane next to them and their car is at a 45 degree angle in the lane.

    I have to blame DOT for the "Do you frequently stop-merge?" category. It happens a ton around here but I can't say it's a specific group of people's fault. We have stop signs at the end of a lot of our highway entrance ramps, including one that is on a very steep hill. You make a 90 degree turn down a hill and travel about 25 feet to a stop sign that you can't even see until you're right on it. Then you basically have to gun it to get into any lane due to the amount of traffic, lol. I'd actually say that we have more entrance ramps with stop signs than we do yield signs.

    Everything else seems pretty accurate though.

    Another thing that drives me crazy is the idiot who drives up the on-ramp at 25 and merges with 65-mph highway traffic at 35, and even after the merge doesn't speed up past 45. It's like... WTF????? Then I'm stuck behind them for a mile because all the traffic behind us has already crowded into the passing lane to get around us and there's no openings.

    Stop signs on highway on-ramps are RETARDED. A sure sign of a horribly designed on-ramp. Our combination on/off ramps are bad enough...
