Default What really annoys you about driving in this country.

Me its just the crippling cost in actually running a car in this country. Petrol, Insurance ect are so much more expensive to any other comparitable country in this world.

And speed cameras... dont get me started on speed cameras, what a pointless waste of time, ohh lets monitor how fast people go though a 20 yard bit of road

And the fact they harp on about how the road is one of the biggest killers in this country when its bloody not! We have the lowest road fatality rate in europe! And just as many people die from diabeties in this country as they do in car accients

I think you got most of them, that one above especially. Running a car is borderline impossible without parental help when youre young now too, which is ridiculous. That and people that are just completely oblivious to everything around them while driving, usually women with kids I find. Oh, and the way that people think that parking at a private school to pick up little Jonny means they can block the fucking road.

The general standard of driving of other drivers, drivers seem to be divided into two groups
Those that always drive slow regardless of speed limits or road conditions, dont you just hate following the idoit that drives at 41 mph regardless of speed limit.
Those that drive like idiots,dangerously ignoring all other road users, road conditions speed limits etc.

Of course Cosworth drivers are the most considerate, courteous and speed limit aware drivers on the road.
