Stupid drivers on the road

I am recently experiencing more and more road rages while commuting to work.

Yesterday, Neil had a later start to his morning so I gave him a ride to work. We took local streets instead, and I swear, everytime we take that route, there are bound to be stupid drivers on the road. In yesterday's case, it was an A-hole riding both lanes for approx. 6km and was consistantly cutting me off while doing it! No signals, nothing! The street we were on have high volumes of streetcars in the morning. (If you haven't been to TO, streetcars are electric buses that run on tracks. Tracks are on the inside lane of the street. If a streetcar stops to drop off/pick up passengers, cars on the outside lane must stop behind the door exits.) So it is common for ppl to weave in and out to get pass the streetcar. But buddy didn't have enough balls or again, he's just plain stupid! It got to the point where I stuck my head out the window and started screaming at him. He then decided to stick to one lane.

These are other types of drivers that I would like to have a chat with...

The "I don't know how to use a blinker" driver. I'm not psychic, tell me where you are effing trying to go!

The "Use the brakes during lane change" driver. If you're going to cut into my lane, please maintain my lane's speed, do not come in front of me and brake!

The "Brake Happy" driver. These people are the ones that causes unnecessary traffic problems. People who brake whenever they like, when there is no need for it. For example, if the vehicle in front of you is slowing down just a bit, TAKE YOUR BLOODY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL! You can control you speed without HAVING to use the brakes you idiot. It'll actually save you some gas money! And if you have to brake the very instant the vehicle in front of you decelerates, you are following too close, back the eff off!

The "Don't care if other ppl get to turn left" driver. Please DON'T take your sweet-arse time at the front of the line when there are thousands of cars behind you needing to turn during the left turn signal! Anticipate the light change and bloody TURN!

and finally, The "Cellphone, Blackberry, Eat Happy" driver. No you cannot multi-task without harming others on the road, so have your passenger deal w/ it or get off the road.
