Foglights. Even when it's foggy. What a pointless feature. It's so difficult to see past people with the rears on and the fronts just make things worse in fog.

Plus every chav on the planet seems to think the fronts give an extra 50bhp. I habitually give any oncoming car with fogs on full beam.

Apart from that, tailgaters, poor indication/signalling, shite lane discipline, folk doing 45mph regardless of whether they're in a 30 zone or a NSL A road. All these things boil my piss.

In fact, 'other road users' annoy me most. I should have the roads to myself - I'm perfect.

Bad lane discipline, and driving too close on motorways really pisses me off. I have a light car, good tyres and brembo 4 pots, and I brake for tailgaters

People who cut in front you you then slam on their brakes, rather than pulling in behind you.

Or, pople who leave HUUUUUGE space in front of them in a lane of slow moving traffic, rather than keeping anormal space and keeping the traffic flowing steadily.

People who are looking for a house number but don't pull over, just drive at 5mph all down the street!!!

People who don't say thank you when you let them through a gap, and take ages tootling through.

BUT... biggest hate his people who see you ccoming through a gap, and rather than wait, decide they want to get through, then get panic and just stop mid way as they don't want to scratch their car lol!!!

GIVE WAY TO TRAFFIC APPROACHING FROM THE RIGHT...

miss daisy who takes her time setting off from traffic lights..... by the time u pull away the lights change back to red.....

arseholes that park to close (i.e. on white lines) in a carpark.....

pedestrians that press the button on a pelican crossing and walk across.... for you to approach on red and the twats have long gone, your faced with an empty crossing...

drivers that dont understand what yellow hatch markings are for at a Junction... your waiting to cross the junction and they are sat in traffic in the yellow hatch marks....

Nick, on that paderstrian thing, years back I watched some chavs push the crossing button and walk off down the road, didn't even want to cross!!

The guy who had to stop, leapt out of his car, ran down the road and clocked the chav, bit over the top, but funny lol!!!

People always seem to be in a rush when there driving.People who dont indecate,and most of all pikeys.They always have to be infront of everyone and when they race each other down busy streets.I also hate it when drivers park up next to each other on a main road and start to have a chat causing the drivers behind to overtake them.

where to start?

peole who don't say thank you when you've pulled over to let them past - cunts

peole who don't pull over to let you past - cunts

peole who, when it's clear there is no where to go, sit there like dumb cunts pretending they don't know what to do - double cunts

people who, like the cunts above, then pretend they don't know how to reverse - extra special cunts (a member of this group has had a bottle of lucozade tipped into his seat as i inched past while he got out and started to chat the guy behind in the queue, deserving cunt )

peole who drive at 45 mph in a 60 - cunts

and then, carry on doing 45 mph in the 30 zones - cunts

peole who drive at 20 mph past speed camera in a 40 - cunts

peole who see you coming up behind them to overtake, then put the foot down to stop you - cunts (another member of this group of cunts got his comeuppance this weekend, dawdling along at 25mph i went for the overtake and he sped up
got to the nsl portion of the road, he was back to 45 mph again, so i went for another overtake, he sped up again, so i caried on with the overtake to overtake the van in front of him too, and he was oblivious to it and rammed him up the arse, i procceded along my way and left them 2 to argue about it )

women drivers - cunts

arogant cunts - cunts

audi drivers - cunts

chauffers - cunts

black cab drivers - cunts

bus drivers - cunts

minicab driers - cunts

cyclists - cunts

moped driving chavs - cunts

padestrians who stand in the middle of hte road thinking you'll stop for them - cunts (i've skittled over a fair few in my time when they just walk out and expect you to stop, like fuck, you are getting knocked the fuck down )

i could go on but there are lots of people who want to use the bandwidth

Women drivers on the school run who are just cunts and think that the road is only there for them and their precious snooty kids. Especially when they are in boyfriends/husbands range rover and dont know the width and cant drive. I just want to beat their heads in

There's a long dual carriageway near me with a roundabout at the end. Left lane goes straight on, right lane goes right. Its the GOM FUCKING CUNTS that sit in the outside lane for 5 miles just because they are going right at the roundabout at the end of the road

They normally get undertaken and a flick of the V's

Front foglights don't really bother me. Although I understand that alot of people misuse them, i really couldn't give a shit. They don't blind me, and is it really worth getting worked up about it?

drivers who dont indicate to go round a roundabout, but indicate to come off

people who sit in the middle lane of motorways when there is nothing in the slow lane

people who sit in the right hand lane of a dual carriage way becasue they car turning right at the roundabout at the end

people who dont acknowledge you after you've given way to them, i normally give them a round of applause

Boy racers with saxo 1.1's sitting on the bumber of your stage 3 saff or any other quick car

as you can see, i have a few issues........now where did i put that anger managment leaflet

People who fail to indicate, especially when I'm sat at a roundabout giving way to them and they pull off to their left

People who do 40mph in a national speed limit, then carry on doing 40mph through the 30's then I catch up and am stuck behind them when get back into the national speed limit

Bad manners too - non thanking you etc

^ All of the above.
I always drive with the assumption that nobody else can.

Living in a tourist town makes roundabouts fun, folk genuinely don't know where they're going. Rather than do a full loop and read the signs on the way (as I do when I'm lost) they simply pull across lanes to go where they want at the last minute.
You learn to spot these idiots and either out-pace them to your lane or hold back out of harms way.

Old giffers doing 50 in the middle lane of the Motorway or women on the Motorway that indicate to change lanes, check mirrors, check over their shoulder, check mirrors again then eventually pass one car If you're scared of changing lanes you shouldn't be on there, also people that stop at roundabouts then check if theres anything coming!! Look as you approach ffs.

LORRY DRIVERS piss me off. Driving up the A1 alot lately and most of the congestion was caused by one lorry overtaking another lorry but taking 15 minutes to do it. They are both doing 56 mph so why bother overtaking and blocking the dual carridgeway and 5 miles back it cause traffic to come to a standstill. The same applies on 3 lane motorways forcing 3 lanes of cars into the outside lane and again ques form.

trajic accident was it pity, how do you hold the steering wheel straight?

i always drive as if i've got somewehre to go, so if you don't hold me up, not a problem, speed limits are there for a reason so if i'm stuck beihnd someone who's sticking to them fine

but it's when peole don't look where they are going, cause a general nusacance of themselves out on the road and just get in my way i tend to get annoyed

same with peole who walk in a group down the street, if you want to stop get the fuck out of the way, don't just stand there 15 peole side by side and make everyone else barge you out the way to get past - cunts
