Default Pet Peeves

As some of you might know, I write a motorcycling column for a local newspaper. I'm thinking about doing an article on the top pet peeves, or minor annoyances if you prefer, that motorcycle riders experience. Please tell me, as briefly as possible, the one thing that annoys you the most when engaged in the sport of motorcycling.

Cagers talking on cell phones while driving 55 miles per hour in the fast lane next to a semi truck on the interstate in a 70 mph zone and they have been doing so for the last 15 miles.

Helmet laws. I'm a big boy and would like to make my own decisions regarding my well being.

Car following to close and won't pass when there is room. Motorhomes that hold up traffic and won't pull over when there is a turn out

Cager turning left in front of me at intersections. Cager changing lanes (going in same direction) in front of me with little or no clearance. Car approaching on a 2 lane highway passing other cars forcing me to the shoulder(or a casket).
