Especially ones who don't realize that their Camry isn't a purpose built road racing machine capable of taking 30mph corners at 90+. One of those drivers chose to try it anyway, and wound up at the bottom of a small cliff just north of Salmon Creek parking area...
...But 60 isn't that bad of a speed for that corner when you have symmetrical All Wheel Drive, grippy tires, and a lowered suspension capable of handling the yaw forces.

I'll play...
Bike drivers who a) drive like they're invincible weaving through traffic, and b) over-decorate their bikes w/ neon and ****. There's a weekly bike meet near where I live in Sac and sharing the roads w/ them is not pleasant. Also, after they're done, a good amount of them drive by my apartment complex on their way home. I think it's impossible for them not to be as loud as possible whenever they drive in a group.
Also, of course lifted truck drivers

Sport bike crotch rocket riders.
Ever see one on an R1 ride 70 mph in the fast lane with moderate traffic? Or do they always ride 85+ weaving lanes and splitting traffic like we cars are in their way.
I have total respect for riders who obey the laws of the road and will gladly move over in heavy traffic and they'll acknowledge with a thumbs up.

Exactly! I make it a point to give bikers ample room when behind them and move slightly to let them by in heavy traffic. I think bay area bikers acknowledged this act of kindness more than Sac bikers. They all just zoom by when I go out of my way to be nice to them. Bikers who ride like they value their own life I respect, bikers who drive like morons on the other hand

Don't know about you, but my 01 camry corners like a boss. Perhaps its just that most camry drivers are ****ing idiots who shouldn't be behind the wheel in the first place...then again I can think of a few subaru drivers right here on i-club that should be executed for the way they drive. (no not you roo)
My Forester is on Koni inserts (WRX), Prodrive lowering springs, and on some decent shoes. I'm capable of (and have done it multiple times) 55 without braking on that corner. 90 is simply stupidity. I stay in my own lane at all times as well - you never know when a deer is going to pop out on the commute.
