Another rant about bad drivers

[Mr Bret]

Two minor, yet irritating things and one really big thing to complain about.
Minor - People who almost come to a full stop when they are turning a corner.
Minor- People who leave two to three car lengths in front of them at a red light.

Really big thing - Right on my corner yesterday morning I saw a car just cruise right by a stopped school bus that was picking up children. The bus had its lights flashing and the stop sign was extended. The offender seemed to be completely oblivious to their environment.
Then yesterday afternoon just one street over, while the school bus was letting a whole load of very young children off, with lights flashing, stop sign out, an idiot in a SUV sped up and passed the bus from behind. I was waiting facing the bus and I honked at the guy and he looked at me like I was from Mars. Freakin' idiot.
School has been back for a few weeks now. I don't understand how people can be so completely unaware, especially when it comes to children's safety.

End of rant.

Mine is this - on four lane roads idiots that pass a stopped car at a crosswalk.

A few years ago, I literally saved the lives of an entire family by blowing my horn. I was stopped at a crosswalk in the left lane, letting people cross in front of me. In my rearview, I see an idiot in a BMW who is speeding and going fast. He goes from my left lane into the right to pass me - completely oblivious of the crosswalk and the people in front of my car. I yelled to my passenger in the car "holy shit, they're all gonna get killed". The only thing I could do was blow my horn as loud as I could. Family stops to look at me (fortunately), and BMW slams on his brakes and looks at me like a nut. BMW driver gives me a sour look, as I point out the family of four he almost mowed-over. Though he sped-off, he did have a look of shame.
