I typically ride into work on nice days, it is about a 40+ minute run (one way). On my travels I have witnessed many a driver, many a stupid driver, and many a dangerous driver.

I class them like this:

Rubber Nuts - The guy that thinks his balls are so big (cause he was born to race) he is willing to drive through your rear tire to show you ( usually in a crap can 89 Mustang 6 cylinder or his mom's minivan )

Creeping Jesus - The 89 year old, that still by some act of God ( or crooked doctor ) has a license. They have no clue what is going on in the world. (they tend to drive a 70's or 80's tan Buick)

Mr. Biznezz - Now this can be either a 19 year old or a 38 yr old who thinks he is 19, on the cell phone, with the smoke and the stupid hat, listen to music he/she has no businesss listening to and everymove you make is on his/her turf.. ( 80's Civic with fart pipe or new import w/fart pipe )

The F.I.T.W - These guys usually have G2's after 7 or 8 attempts and do everything in their power to stay away from you, typically leading them to take off reclessly like a Fart In The Wind...

Funny, I see the same 4 kinds of drivers everyday and still don't know which one is worse?

Thoughts..
 
Bikers - Aggressive, and fearful. Many still haven't figured out the physics of riding, nevermind driving on the road with other vehicles.

Most don't see the irony inherent in complaining about cagers.
 
Wow, tough crowd

But I do see the humour, but I will agree what applies to the cage applies to the cage-less
 
The 89 Stang only came with either the four banger or a V8, there was no 6 cylinder.
 
My kind of worst or fearful would be one that gets out of the car and starts walking towards you. In those cases, i'm certainly not waiting to see what happens, i'm gone.
 
U-turners - regardless of age or vehicle tho those with tinted windows are the worst......

Timid drivers I think are generally more unpredictable....testosterone types are fairly consistent - expect stupid aggressive moves as a matter of course.

The timid one still sitting at the stop sign while I'm 100m out going slowly....now that's uncertainty.
Aggressive driver is just rolling through it and long gone.

That said some cagers are polite and wave a rider through when you get there at the same time.

After some of the crap I saw yesterday I tend to agree with this comment. I almost got clipped twice within 1 km by goofballs on sportbikes.

For real, everybody here is always complaining about cars, yet nobody mentions anything about the ever increasing numbers of bad riders, following too closely, zig zagging in traffic, passing other riders in their own lane, riding like they are at the track, revving bikes like idiots in the middle of the night in residential areas, riding without any gear (aside from helmets), you hear about bike accidents every few days, it has become a norm when it SHOULDNT be and the list goes on and on.

The important thing is---did the idiot riders wave while zig-zagging? Are you supposed to do that? What's the zig-zagging etiquette?
 
+1 - we need hand sized stickers we can slap on offending cars with
I AM OBLIVIOUS :D

preferably middle of windshield
 
how do you define whether or not someone has business listening to any particular genre of music?

Did a couple trips this weekend and had this happen four or five times, usually in smaller communities. Unnecessary, they had the right of way.. but appreciated.

I always find it funny when some white kid is listening to gangsta rap and driving like they are in a music video in their moms mini van. No idea why you would listen to music that has nothing to do with your actual life or the things you believe in. If you're not in favour of drugs, shooting people, and beating up women then why listen to that music?? But I guess I'm a cliche driving in my lifted truck that's usually covered in mud with country and 80s rock blasting out the windows.

I listen to music that my body and current mood jives with, be it dwight yoakam or tupac *shrug*

I will agree that it is pretty funny to see people doing such things, and beating women, shooting people and sippin purple drank has nothing to do with my lifestyle, but I know I've been that person in my car before. Then again who hasn't. I should have no reason to listen to it, but youll catch me rockin out to some taylor swift now and then, we all have our guilty pleasures haha
