My first job was at a Chevy dealer and I remember driving many of these horrid plastic squishy handling things. Many were former rental cars that we resold.

Possibly even with the keys in the ignition and the engine running ...

You could leave the door open, engine running and someone would walk by, turn it off, leave the keys, and close the door.

I have a horrible premonition that the last thing I see will be a BMW SUV driven by some dick sore on a cell phone.

Agreed on bumper stickers. One maybe two are OK, but when your entire belief system is all over the back or your car, it tells me your car and driving are nowhere near as important as your voice. Doesn't matter if it's liberal, conservative, Nascar or Hello Kitty. Stickers tell me to avoid you.

What about these? These could go either way:

I bought my Miata used from an old guy, who had put an AAA sticker on the Miata's bumper. I left the sticker on there...I thought it made the car look more anonymous and less prone to hoonage.

An aware driver is still better than 95% of the drivers out there who don't recognize their shortcomings like you have. No one really has the motor skills to do all those things. You're ahead of the curve because you figured that out. I'd say well done.

Another example of jackasses on crotch rockets and jackasses in volvos.

I don't see this mentioned a lot, but I think it is a real red flag.

In Oregon, Left on Red is 100% legal from a 2-way to a 1-way. Seems about only 1% of the population knows this, even though its clearly lined out in the driver's manual. Got stuck behind an Infiniti this morning through a compete signal cycle, when otherwise he was clearly running late for work.

I've got three stickers on my 16 year old Golf. One denotes membership in a local VW group. One is a zombie head. And one is from my favorite local coffee joint.

Does this make me an asshole? Maybe if I had an obnoxious metal Jesus fish or one of those terrible white rectangles with three or four lines of block letter…

Especially if it's one of these:

Some stickers are cool.

My number one sign that someone is a bad driver is when they go out of their way to tell you want a good driver they are.

There's a corollary to this too: If you have a perfectly free left lane, and yet you slow down and tailgate the guy in the right lane instead of passing.

Exactly, and I am surprised that there arent many in Colorado, there are millions in Texas, but I live in Southern California now and there are still a bunch of them. Dirtbags everywhere I guess. There are way more Prius (es?i?) but most of the time they are just driving slow in the left lane or something else…

I am going to throw confederate flags on to the top of this pile. You will 99% of the time be driving an obnoxious truck with obnoxiously loud exhaust doing completely obnoxious things every time you get behind the wheel. Accelerating like a maniac from every light and stop sign, passing people over double yellows on…

Being a horrible judge of space and timing when pulling out of a side street/driveway/parking lot aisle It pisses me off so bad that someone can look at you dead in the face and then try to jump out with maybe 2 or three car lengths space. If I have to slow down at all, nevermind slam on my brakes, you're doing it…

when your brake lights come on every 3 to 5 seconds
