Talk:Driving etiquette

Sources

Which of these are notable sources? We can use some of this. Pet Peeves are a documented phenomenon, and definitely contribute to what is considered good driving etiquette - and even road rage if these things are done.

Pet peeves

Just finding random WP:PRIMARY sources -- one of which is a random poem -- isn't sufficient for providing a laundry list of so-called pet peeves. The one remaining source is from a 1981 random article, which also is on thin ice. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 02:40, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

reinstatement of Pet Peeves section

I reverted a series of 3 edits on November 11-12, 2023, in which the removal of one valid source was the basis of subsequent removals by different editors. I made some minor edits in this process.

Removal of content based on the apparently unintentional removal of a source is inappropriate. Nobody had objected to the entirety of the content per se, but I will presume that other editors will leave in that content for which there is no valid basis for objection.

See my edit summaries - these are random WP:PRIMARY sources -- even just a poem -- and not WP:RS. The last one I removed was just a personal opinion piece in a magazine; also not a reliable source regarding what consitutes pet peeves, let alone how they are directly connected to etiquette. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 02:46, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

As well as being poorly reference, the vast majority of them are not peeves but are actually dangerous practices that are against the law in most first world countries. If a police officer in Australia saw you do any of those practices then they would pull you over and give you a ticket or at least a stern warning.  Stepho  talk  03:14, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

PoV

It's troubling that most of the "by country" subsections are cited to only one source each, and those sources are very old - in some cases almost a quarter of a century. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:42, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Yeh, a lot of the sources are oudated and some of them don't seem very credible. Qqiumax (talk) 02:20, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

I removed the entire by-country section!!! David notMD (talk) 12:20, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
