Re: Pet Peeves?
The person that goes for about a couple of miles in the third lane, next to center divider at about 45 in a 55 and then suddenly turns left with no directionals.

Re: Pet Peeves?
Useless sensors in the car...that you can't get rid of....yet aren't cheap to replace.
I'm now stuck with a warning that the car has flat tyres forever....or replace both rear sensors, but at $85 a pop, that's not going to happen :/

Re: Pet Peeves?
Brake lights used as indicators. I can only see one side of your car so I have no idea if you are pumping the brakes or about to sideswipe me.

Re: Pet Peeves?
Current Ford Fusion. See, no rear yellow light$
ETA. Oh! I think that's what your peeve is, right? I thought you were complaining about driving habits/ brake use, not design of the car. I must admit I don't understand that either especially for cars like the Fusion that are made in other markets where the yellow indicator is required.

Re: Pet Peeves?
The brake light/red indicator is all well and good - provided the twat driving the car actually remembers what that little stick coming out of the steering column with the arrows on it is for ...

Re: Pet Peeves?
You know what it's like then, but I presume you do a good few miles above the limit to compensate?
And California? It's full of beat up trucks filled with mattresses...and unlicensed drivers without insurance who protest the inconvenience if they get impounded.

Re: Pet Peeves?
That may be true. Certainly seems so.
I think it was more the driving under the limit consistently, rather than the car being driven that was the main point being made. You could be in a bloody DB9 but if you sit at 37 in a 55, you deserve to be forced to listen to primary school recorder ensembles at high volume non-stop for an entire week.
If you don't like how we drive here you can FO back to California.
