This Florida DUI suspect took holiday spirit to a whole new level. As the fireworks were lighting up the sky on the 4th, and everyone was out celebrating, Nicholas Kahl decides to drive down a one-way street. And with two little kids in the backseat! That's a recipe for disaster if I ever saw one.

According to NBC2, Kahl’s cruising down N. Brevard Avenue, right past the police station, mind you, when a cop spots him. They pull him over and the cop asks Kahl if he knows he's going the wrong way. This dude just stares at him, probably trying to figure out which way is up.

When the officer asks for his license, this guy hands over a receipt for some tires he bought. Not exactly the right document, buddy. The cop immediately smells the booze on his breath and notices that this Florida DUI suspect has a "Rainbow Runtz" marijuana vape chilling in the passenger seat, along with a weed joint in the cup holder.

Now, Kahl's not cooperating one bit. He refuses to do any sobriety tests and won't give his information. Turns out, this dude has a history of three previous DUIs. They finally ID him as some guy from Indiana and haul him off to the DeSoto County Jail.

Kahl’s racked up a long list of charges. We’re talking DUI (his fourth or more, no less), child neglect, refusing sobriety tests, possession of drugs without a prescription, resisting an officer, and having weed and drug paraphernalia. This Florida DUI suspect just hit the jackpot of bad decisions.

Luckily, the kids were picked up safely by their mom. But Nicholas Kahl? He’s going to have some time to think about his dumb choices. Fourth of July or not, there's really no excuse for putting kids and everyone else in danger.

Roadside Frustrations: 8 Most Annoying Habits Of Other Drivers

You're cruising down the road, wind in your hair, and the stereo cranked up to your favorite song. Life couldn't be better, right? Well, hold on, because here come those annoying drivers determined to ruin your joyride. From the oblivious ones who think turn signals are optional, to the speedsters weaving through traffic like they're in a Fast and Furious movie. There's no shortage of infuriating things they do. It's like they have a secret handbook on how to push our buttons.

You've probably dealt with tons of annoying drivers over the years. While the list of annoying drivers could go on, there are eight examples that stand out as the worst of the worst. The next time you find yourself near an annoying driver, take a deep breath, and remember that patience is a virtue.

Is it the person or the car brand?

Does the car's brand make a driver more annoying? A 2021 survey conducted by Moneybarn in the United Kingdom found that BMW owners were widely regarded as the most disliked drivers on the road, with nearly 40 percent of respondents identifying them as the worst and most prone to causing accidents. Audi came in a distant second at 14 percent.

In the United States, Insurify, a car insurance comparison website, released a report on the Rudest Drivers in 2021. To compile the data, their team analyzed over four million applications, where applicants disclosed their car make and model and any driving violations over the past seven years. The results showed that in 2020, BMW drivers were considered the rudest. In 2021, it was Kia Stinger drivers who took the top spot. Audi A4 Allroad drivers ranked as the second rudest, followed by BMW 4-Series drivers.

Ultimately, it is the driver, not the brand of the car, that determines their behavior on the road. While these findings may suggest certain trends, it would be unfair to make blanket assumptions about all drivers of a particular car brand.

Annoying drivers can really test our patience, but it's important to stay cool and drive responsibly. Remember, we're all just trying to get from point A to point B in one piece.

Here are 7 seriously annoying things that other drivers do on the road.

The Lane Hogger

You know the type. They leisurely cruise along in the left lane, seemingly oblivious to the growing line of cars behind them. They show no intention of moving over, despite signs clearly indicating slower traffic should keep right. It's as if they believe they own that lane and everyone else is just passing through.

The Indecisive Merge Master

You're approaching a merging lane, diligently signaling your intention to merge, when suddenly you spot them—the driver who can't seem to commit to either accelerating to merge or slowing down to let you in. They teeter on the edge of indecision, causing a chaotic dance of hesitant maneuvering that disrupts the flow of traffic.

The Tailgater

We've all encountered the driver who seemingly has a vendetta against personal space. They ride your bumper with an intensity that could rival a race car driver. Whether they're running late or simply have a persistent need to assert dominance, their tailgating antics create an anxiety-inducing experience.

The Incessant Honker

Honking is meant to be a communication tool, a gentle reminder to draw attention to potential dangers or to express gratitude. However, a special breed of drivers wield their horns like a weapon of mass annoyance. They honk at the slightest inconvenience, from a fraction-of-a-second delay at a green light to a cautious pedestrian exercising their right of way.

The Distracted Doodler

We're all aware of the dangers of distracted driving, yet some individuals choose to engage in activities outside the confines of a moving vehicle. From applying makeup and eating full meals to scrolling through social media or engaging in animated conversations, these drivers treat their cars as mobile living rooms. Their lack of focus puts us all at risk, and we can't help but wonder if they have forgotten that driving requires undivided attention.

The Fast Lane Snail

The left lane, aka the fast lane, is meant for, well, going fast. But there's always that one driver who decides to take a leisurely Sunday drive right there, blocking everyone else behind them. This forces other drivers to undertake risky maneuvers to overtake them, leading to frustration and potentially dangerous situations.

The Traffic Rule Ignorer

Traffic rules exist for a reason. To maintain order, safety, and efficiency on the roads. However, some drivers seemingly view these rules as mere suggestions. They run red lights, ignore stop signs, and make illegal U-turns with complete disregard for the potential consequences. Their actions create chaos and put everyone around them at risk.

The Turn Signal Skippers

It's like these drivers believe that turn signals are optional car accessories. They change lanes or make turns without a single blinker in sight, leaving the rest of us to play mind readers and guess their next move.
