Auto drivers are distracted looking for parking spots in a neighborhood that they only drive once each week (or less) and when they're leaving church they seem to be high on something that dulls their ability to make good decisions about driving. I mean no offense, but on more than one occasion, I've seen some pretty strange driving around churches on Sunday. Good list. I have one to add: be careful around churches on Sunday morning.

These big circles with Yield signs for all directions may be wonderful for cars, in theory, but I have found that drivers that aren't used to them - or - are on their cell phones are going to be confused and unpredictable. The one roundabout on my route home is the main place that I approach with fear and trembling. There are two many options for lane changes and if traffic is busy I'll just move off to the side and grab a drink from the water bottle until it looks safe to move. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundabout Roundabouts.
