Common 'annoying' driving styles on the road
To be a cultured driver, you should stay away from becoming one of the following types of traffic participants.
1. When honking is a hobby
Car horns are a smart solution from car and motorbike manufacturers to help drivers warn of danger or ask to pass other vehicles when participating in traffic. However, for many people, honking indiscriminately has become a real "problem" on the streets.

With only a few seconds left at the red light, you will be honked by the people behind you. Go into a deserted alley, but maintain a high speed so that people who are sleeping like you will be woken up by the honking. Even if you are not steady on the wheel, you will be stunned and fall off the bike when a truck passes by with a deafening horn.
2. Stop suddenly, as if the brakes had never been applied
This annoying type of person often appears in women when participating in traffic. Suddenly the phone rings or seeing a familiar store on the way to the market, the vehicle owner immediately brakes unexpectedly and easily makes the person behind unable to handle the steering wheel to avoid. Therefore, drivers avoid following too close to the rear of the car because who knows, the "fun" person in front might brake until the rear of the car is red.

3. Show that you value time
However, no matter how precious your time is or how urgent you are, please do not weave, swerve, disrespect the law and endanger others. Do not pass when the red light is only 2-3 seconds away, squeeze into the narrow gap between 2 cars or swerve, cut in front of the car in front at high speed and without signaling. When an accident happens, you will understand the saying "A second too fast, a lifetime too slow".

4. Weaving and weaving in front of the car
When it comes to provoking and annoying the drivers behind, there is nothing better than weaving, zigzagging, and deliberately going slow. Drivers often get angry when they are teased by a group of young people, driving recklessly right in front of them, even though they have honked their horns many times.
5. If I don't text this in time, I will die.
Of course, that is just a metaphor for cases where drivers of vehicles, whether cars or motorbikes, are engrossed in using their phones or texting while participating in traffic. This is extremely dangerous for them, but it also frustrates the people behind them when they do not know why the car in front is slowing down or occasionally cutting in front of their car.

6. Turn on the headlights continuously
This is safe for drivers of cars or motorbikes at night, but if it happens continuously and in the wrong place, it will cause glare for drivers of oncoming vehicles. Many drivers, even though the road is well-lit, still have bad habits of turning on their headlights, making oncoming drivers feel almost "blind" because they cannot see anything in front of them. Even when others flash their lights to warn them, they still act completely unaware.

7. Never want others to "improve"
That is a metaphor for the type of traffic participants who always "ignore" the overtaking signals of the vehicles behind them. Especially for truck or container truck drivers, overtaking is very difficult. Many vehicles just drive in the middle of the road, or wait for another vehicle to overtake, then move their vehicle to the middle of the road and do not want anyone to overtake their vehicle, causing extreme discomfort for others.
8. Like there was never… a car wash
Although vehicle cleanliness is a personal matter for each vehicle owner, it is obvious that following a dirty vehicle, kicking up dust in the middle of the road will make you, if you are the one behind, feel really discouraged. Mixed with the black smoke, the dust from a dump truck rolls up and blurs your vision, making you want to slow down and get as far away from that vehicle as possible.

9. Enjoy dance music even on the go
Many drivers try to modify the speakers in their cars, open the windows and turn up the dance music really loud. It seems that they are people who really love loud music and always want to share that passion with those around them. However, this way of expressing it is not very civilized and polite.
