Basically any older Asian ladies who drive are on the list. Camrys, Corollas, but most especially, your Benzes and BMWs. Great, you have a nice car, but you don't know how to drive.
But my mom drives a Camry. She's a pretty good/safe driver, but maybe a bit too much on the safe side.
Oh, and also when you have a nice pace/speed going and someone cuts right in front of you.

Negative! But Camry owners never say Hi back when I wave. Jerks!
I took Joel to L.A. when it started raining, turned on the news & within minutes there were three crashes reported. Except for not being able to drive in the rain I do miss the overall traffic going 10mph+ faster (traffic allowing) then people go up here on any given day.

On average, traffic as a whole moved 10mph faster here before the economy fell to pieces and the cops started trying to make up the deficit by speed trapping everyone.

10mph faster in LA??? que? maybe at 3am...
I lived there for 2 years. It took me 1 hr to go 20mi to work.
My wife, who's an LA native, says that there are a lot of non-LA natives and it's them who can't drive worth ****...and I'd have to concur
Though, I think there is some kind of city law that prohibits the use of turn signals...

I'm convinced that the demographic of people who buy Camrys are:
- too timid to drive
- barely have the minimum necessary skill to be functional on the road
- feel that the world moves about 20 mph faster than they do (which it does)
- are completely unaware of others on the road
- can't merge onto freeway/expressways
- can't judge distances
- can't judge speed
- follow the unspoken requirement to sit with their neck craning over the steering wheel peering over their nose in a "ready" position yet move in slow motion
- really should be passengers, and not drivers
And Taurus drivers are a close 2nd.

Yeah you don't get it.
I didn't say they should drive like race cars.
I'm saying they can't even drive speed limit. They can't maintain the flow of traffic. They can't pay attention to when the light turns green. They can't merge without 2 miles of clear road. They can't merge. They can't check their blind spots. They can't use less than 1/2 a mile to lane change. Need I go on?
And of course there are always exceptions to the typical; not all camry drivers suck.
