Typically, when in front of you in the lane, will sit for 5-10 seconds before moving out on the green light

Another of their favorite traits is to relentlessly crawl at 35 - 40 max on an entrance ramp when the traffic that you're trying to merge with is going 70 - 75. Then, when they can't find a large enough gap they stop at the end of the ramp blocking you from merging.

Another is to sit in the passing lane going at or slightly below the speed limit smugly thinking how they're enforcing the traffic laws.

Your description of auto-morons is hilarious--because it's true.

When my brother sees someone driving as you describe, he sings aloud, "I'm alone in the universe, nobody counts but me-ee." I started doing it, and it makes me laugh every time. Greatly reduces the annoyance of driving among the auto-morons.

These boobs are the worst, and I seem to be behind one almost every time I get on the freeway. Probably my #2 pet peeve, behind drivers who don't understand that "keep right except to pass" means to, you know, keep to the right. Except to pass. And then get back to the right. Regardless of your speed.

While I'm on the tangent, the third worst is drivers who blithely trap you in parking lots or on side streets waiting to turn out because they can't be bothered to use their turn signal to let you know they won't be crossing your path. In a just world, instead of running speed traps the police would follow those drivers to their destination and hold their door shut when they get there to waste 30 seconds of their time like they wasted mine.

You just listed two of my biggest pet peeves, especially the left lane vigilantes. (Ggrrrrrr)

Of course. In parts of most big cities you have to wait that long for all the people crashing the new red light to clear out of the intersection. Anyone around here who starts moving right away at a green light is suicidal.
