My peeve isn't with minivans, it's with any car in general that is in the left lane driving 5 miles below the speed limit, and won't take the hint to get out of my way when I "politely" flash them...

I generally find that any vehicle that has that goofy yellow diamond in the back window that says "caution: baby on board" is typically piloted by someone that has no business behind the wheel. Interesting side note, they also tend to be the same people that put signs in the middle of the street in front of they're house that say "caution: children at play" and then go inside. If you don't want your kids to get hit by a car then don't let them play in the street or be a parent and actually keep an eye on your kid! Signs are not a release of liability when something happens to your child. Ok rant over.

I've definately noticed the majority of minivan drivers are a hazard on the road. I think it's because the genre of drivers are typically carrying a load of kids, old folks, etc, causes them to be pre-occupied behind the wheel.
