Cell-phones definitely annoy me, as well as stubborn folk who won\'t let you pass. The thing I hate the most, though, are the highway drivers who, even if you\'re going 105 km/h find any excuse to pass you, and then stare you down as they pass, as if pressing the gas a bit harder somehow makes them superior in some way. These are also the people you inevitably end up getting stuck behind for the rest of the trip, or end up passing a mere kilometer or two down the road
I\'m really most scared of older people. They seem dangerously unpredictable. They\'re the type of drivers indecisive children like me fear. They go at a slow, steady pace, but never show signs of slowing. You might have time to run across, but you don\'t know if they\'ll actually stop for you if need be, causing you to lurch forward, stop, run back to the curb, and dash forward nervously, only to find they turned the corner a block ago. They\'re also fairly likely to speed up at the last moment if they see a cocky, confident teenager step onto the street...I think they take it as a challenge.
There\'s also the question of senility. One of my moms friends was paralyzed for life by an older driver. She was parking, and as he crossed the section of sidewalk adjacent to her car, she hit the gas instead of the brake, driving, pinning, and crushing his entire lower body into the brick wall.
