It bothers me so much seeing drivers (many driving SUVs) jam on the brakes at the last second. I cringe everytime I look in the rearview mirror when stopped at a light, because I know one of these days the person isn't going to be able to stop in time (again).
Tailgating is another thing that bothers me. My Explorer-driving friend is the worst tailgater I've ever ridden with. Half the time he's not even looking at the road too. I've actually been with him twice when he's rear-ended someone, but he still hasn't learned. It just doesn't make sense to chance it by riding so close to someone; it makes me feel so much more relaxed at the wheel to have a nice cushion of space there.
A third thing that really should be taught is that on the highway, the right-hand lane is not merging and exiting, not for riding in. I can't stress enough that people should pass in the left lane, travel in the center lane(s) and enter and exit in the right lane. It just makes it dangerous for cars entering to have traffic poking along in the right lane when they're trying to speed up and merge.
