I want to thank all the readers who responded to my request for more \u201cAnnoying Drivers Hall of Fame\u201d additions following my recent column. When I asked to add to this list of notorious drivers, I had originally said I would accept suggestions through April 30. However, thanks to the outpouring of reader replies, I am now moving that date up to March 31 as the final day to add to this list.<\/p>\n

A big thank you to readers Bill Bussard, Jim Clanton, Jeff Nelson, Rick Andrien, Eugene Henneforth, Grace N., Henry H., John May, Owen M. and Bill Knight for their contributions to this column. I will have one more column for you later, but here we go with another round of Annoying Drivers Hall of Fame, reader style.<\/p>\n

Won\u2019t Budge Buddy: Buddy\u2019s sitting at a red light and won\u2019t make his left turn into the mall lot until absolutely nothing is coming in the other direction. He\u2019s known area wide as the non-courteous perpetrator often keeping other drivers sitting for numerous red light scenarios and backing up traffic. Buddy should pull forward and then turn on yellow.<\/p>\n

Traffic Cop Charlie: At a four way stop, Charlie and I arrive at the same time. Charlie is on my right so he has the right of way. Instead of making his turn Charlie decides to wave me through. I don’t know if he is courteous to a fault, a control freak, or a shrinking violet. Regardless, I do not follow his instructions.  Why? Because if I go and he decides to go also, who’s at fault? <\/p>\n

Slow Motion Sally: Sally makes a quick right on a red in front of me, usually with only a wink and a nod, then proceeds 5-MPH under the speed limit. Or worse, does the same thing, and then turns into the coffee stand to sit in a line eight cars long. <\/p>\n

Smokin’ Samson: Samson drives an old, un-tuned diesel that smokes to high heavens. At least he’s killing mosquitoes.<\/p>\n

Tossin’ Tilly: It’s not litter to Tilly. It\u2019s only a cigarette butt, a fast food napkin, a gum wrapper, or a coffee cup. Poor Tilly, as she\u2019s not running on all cylinders.<\/p>\n

Left Lane Louie: Louie has driven this route for six years. He drives in the left lane until he cuts you off turning right.<\/p>\n

Gonna\u2019 Be Late Larry: Every day Larry must hurry to work by speeding, lane changing, yellow light running, and tailgating your car. But he gets to work the same time everyday just like a normal driver does.<\/p>\n

Motherin’ Minerva: Forget what\u2019s ahead of her as Minerva puts all her attention on the two children in the back seat. Won\u2019t be long before impact. <\/p>\n

Wanderin’ Wilma: Lane lines are only a suggestion to Wilma. Go around her very carefully whenever you can.<\/p>\n

Sightseein’ Stevie: Stevie slows down to look at every cow, stream, or car stopped along the road. He\u2019s should invest in a Go Pro camera so he can watch when he gets home instead.<\/p>\n

Call It In The Air Albert: Albert never uses a turn signal at an intersection. It\u2019s always a coin toss which way he turns until he does, if he does.<\/p>\n

Hungry Harry: Harry drives a four-wheel eatery with food in one hand, a drink in the cup holder and a phone in his right hand. He\u2019s really moving down the freeway – fast food, fast talking at a fast speed.<\/p>\n

No Signal Sid: Makes lane changes and quick turns while never signaling his intentions.<\/p>\n

Damaged Eardrum Ernie: I\u2019d hate to be Ernie\u2019s ears 20 years from now as he\u2019s kickin’ mega wattage with a 12-speaker unit with two subwoofers. As an on road danger, he can\u2019t hear emergency sirens to get out of the way.<\/p>\n

Tuner Wannabe Tommy: Tommy thinks his coffee-can exhaust and window full of performance stickers makes a hot car. He\u2019s sadly mistaken.  <\/p>\n

Oblivious Ollie: Ollie travels in the left lane of the interstate with his cruise control set to 64-mph, completely oblivious that other vehicles exist. Traffic is stacked up behind him, cars are swerving into the right lane to pass him, and tempers flare. All the while he is enjoying his drive.<\/p>\n

Tail Gate Tommy: Tommy, in a large pickup, increases his speed and rides five feet from your rear bumper for the next five-miles while you are driving the speed limit.<\/p>\n

Fog Light Freddy: Freddy runs his really bright fog lights on all the time in his pickup regardless of conditions. At night, he blinds oncoming drivers.<\/p>\n

Thanks readers and look for another round of \u201cAnnoying Driver Hall of Fame\u201d reader supplied inductions later this year.<\/p>\n
