My #1 complaint in VT is people cutting left turns at intersections, I am amazed my left headlight is still intact considering how many times I've almost been clipped by people who don't know how to make a proper left turn.

The "Vermont Way" to turn left seems to be an abrupt jerk of the wheel to the right first. Next, you slowly easy yourself into the left hand turn like an old man settling into his favorite recliner. If you complete the turn going more than 15 mph on a road posted at 45 mph, you're doing it all wrong.

And/or people entering basically anywhere from a roadway.

The curb break/entrance to the parking area is four car widths/30+ feet wide, you don't need to cut the corner into the people that are exiting. The same with exiting. Treat it like traffic lanes, don't pull up and stop in the middle while waiting to exit. ¯\_( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)_/¯

Not saying you do this, but there are also the overhangers, who edge way the fuck out at a stop and make it all but impossible to make a left turn without cutting it super close to them.
