Now to vent MY frustration!

What is it with people thinking it's perfectly OKAY to back up on the HIGHWAY??
So you missed an exit. Okay, so go on to the next exit, get off there and go BACK. Yeah, it's maybe an extra 10 minutes to your drive. Big deal. Deal with it.
There are times I wonder how some people got their license. Oh wait I know - it was the prize at the bottom of the cereal box!
Geeze!

Where are all the big gas filled tanker trucks when you need one to "come along" ((-:
>Or . . .5 lanes of traffic moving at 70mph . . .and they stop in the left lane so they can "make a right" and catch the exit!<
AAAA!! You just described my drive to work EVERY morning!
These people LIVE HERE! They KNOW where the exits are!!
St. Louis drivers are idiots!
(except me) :)
Try Miami . . .(-: I leave my house to go out at 5:30 . . . . .it takes me 45 minuets to an hour to go the whole half mile to the expressway! And of coarse, no one can wait in line, 3 lanes trying to merge and but in! LOL Every day.
I used to put in close to 4000 miles a month . . .I HATE these people. ((-:
Crazy drivers (remember that line from Back to the Future?)
My sister is moving to STL at the end of this month from BFE, Missouri.
>My sister is moving to STL at the end of this month from BFE, Missouri. Boy, is she in for a surprise. Although she goes up there often and won't be IN St. Louis, she'll still have to deal with the traffic that she hasn't ever had to deal with on a daily basis. It took me awhile to get used to the stupid drivers here, but now I've just learned that you have to be more observant.<
Oh god. Poor girl. She's going to have a time getting used to the drivers and crap around here.
I found this on an old blog posting of mine. I'm going to shorten it a little because it's LOOONNG, but I thought it was funny and very appropriate.

The St. Louis Visitors Guide to Driving in St. Louis
(If you live in St. Louis, you’ll understand this. If you’ve ever visited St. Louis, you’ll understand this. If you’ve never been to St. Louis, this is your first and only warning.)
The morning rush hour is from 6 to 10 a.m. The evening rush hour is from 3 to 7 p.m. Friday’s rush hour starts Thursday morning.
Gravois Road can only be pronounced by a native. Ditto for Spoede and Chouteau.
Construction on Highways 40, 64, 70, 255, 270, 44, 55 and I-170 is a way of life and a permanent form of entertainment.
St. Louisians were aghast when the federal government required them to redo the highway signs to indicate that the federal highway went to cities in other states instead of local municipalities.
If someone actually has their turn signal on, it is probably a factory defect, or has been on for the last 17 miles.
All old ladies with blue hair in Cadillacs driving on Olive west of 270 have the right of way.
Laclede Station Road mysteriously changes names as you cross intersections. As do McCausland, Lindbergh, Watson, Reavis Barracks, Fee Fee, McKnight, Airport Road, Midland, Olive and Clarkson.
You can go all four directions on Highway 270: north and south in West County, east and west in South County, and east and west in North County. Confused? So are the St. Louis drivers.
Highway 270 is our daily version of the NASCAR circuit.
Never, ever, try to cross a bridge in St. Louis during rush hour unless you have a port-o-potty in the car.
Highway 40 is the same as I-64 through the middle of St. Louis.
If it snows or rains – stay home.

You don't drive in Virginia Beach do you, because that sounds like the usual driver etiquette of this area! And there's never a 'Statie' around to see it either, which in this area is like winning the lottery because they're everywhere.
The ones I love are the ones who will cut over 4 lanes to get to their exit regardless of the safety of others.
As an adult it is very easy to get a license in VA. I literally drove around a block and was given my license. So yah - you can almost say I got it in a cereal box.
The best was in Mexico. I went to get a license and they asked if I wanted it with or without an exam. The difference was only 50 pesos more without the test - so of course I said, 'without the exam'. I found out later that I basically bribed the guy and didn't realise. You can't get a license there without a bribe, so you might as well forego the exam. I had a friend try to do it legally and they kept failing him until he finally relinquished and handed over the extra cash. Got to love Mexico!

Are you kidding????
I have driven in St. Louis once and was confused by all the roads.
"I had a friend try to do it legally and they kept failing him until he finally relinquished and handed over the extra cash. Got to love Mexico!"
