What annoys you most about motorway driving?
And before we start, lets leave out roadworks and there delays.. we've all been there and wasted are life but it something we have to suffer..
Just returned from a weekend of motorway milage and as the miles rose i found myself getting more and more annoyed at folk and there road manners.. but my new pet peave is folk who chug along at 50mph in the inside lane forcing wagons to into the second lane just as you've lined yaself up to over takeyour slowed to 56 as theres no space to move over into lane 3..

well. ive just done a whole shit load of motorway driving. and the most annoying thing i find is twats in BMWs and Mercs speeding up your ass in the 3rd lane and under taking, when im just thinking my old ford could have either one of them

Where should I start? How's these for starters:
Inept drivers
Drivers who dawdle along at 50 in lane 2, 3 or 4
Tailbacks out of nowhere
Golf GTi and M3 drivers who are always eager to scrape some paint off your rear bumper
BMW drivers that didn't ask for indicators in the option pack
Drivers and passengers that flick fags and crisp packets out of the window
Mercedes drivers that have entire meetings with a mobile held to their ear without a police traffic car in sight
Roadworks with no bugger working on them
Potholes and tramlines despite exorbitant road tax
Van drivers that can achieve 90mph in lane 2 only
Drivers who give way to muppets pushing in from the hard shoulder
Little Vauxhall Meriva type cars indicating left then moving right, cutting you up
Sitting at the back of a tailback, waiting for some blind 'tard on his phone or lighting a fag to plough into the back of you

-People who sit in the middle lane for no reason
-People who sit in the right lane for no reason
-People that don't use the inside lane
-People that travel at stupid slow speeds in the middle and right lane
-People who I end up under taking because they insist on sitting in the wrong lane
See a pattern emerging here...?

people driving under the speed limit in the middle and outer lanes while the near side land is clear, I will make a point to under take them in this situation
If folk used the over taking lanes as just that' the motorway network would work much much better...

the lane discipline is down to people not being taught/not having any common sense about how to drive on a fucking motorway.
its too late now but people should be taught to drive on a motorway!!! its fucking stupid you cant learn to drive on a motorway but as soon as you pass you can....well done fucking stupid government!

On a two-lane dual carriageway you should stay in the left-hand lane. Use the right-hand lane for overtaking or turning right. After overtaking, move back to the left-hand lane when it is safe to do so.
138
On a three-lane dual carriageway, you may use the middle lane or the right-hand lane to overtake but return to the middle and then the left-hand lane when it is safe.
I had a "discussion" with a woman from work who sat in the right hand lane down a three mile stretch of dual carriageway because she was turning right at the end. At 50mph in a 70.
I asked why she didn't move over and let me past and she said "It's up to me what speed I do in what ever lane I like."
I said read the highway code and that by driving like that there was alot of wasted tarmac around the country if people like her were turning all dual carriageways into single carriageways.

People that can be undertaken.... If they can be undertaken then they shouldn't be in the lane they are in IMHO!
(I don't undertake)
Idiots in Ferraris doing 70mph in the right hand lane.... Just because you have a fast car doesn't entitle you to stay in the right had lane!

People that brake for the fucking slip road while still on the inside lane of the motorway, how much space do you fucking need!?
Middle lane hoggers
Slow drivers i.e. 50mph!
People that dont indicate until they are nigh on in your lane when youve already had to slame the anchors on.
And finally people like the driver of a silver m3 on the m5 monday who was a foot off my rear bumper while I was very quickly over taking traffic in the other 2 lanes.

Yeah this is my main gripe about driving on the motorway, i leave loads of space for braking and also because i dont want any stone chips etc, but theres always one fucking donkey that has to cut in as if theres a low flying harrier jet coming their way
#28
Poor lane discipline
And by the way all of you feeling guilty for undertaking morons, there is no law about undertaking so feel free to do it........you'll get done for dangerous driving if you change lanes to do it then change back but if your lane is moving faster than theirs then just blast on past.....

people that crawl past you in the middle lane at 1mph more than you when you're indicating to get out as you want to overtake. Move the fuck over to the outside lane, speed up, or let me out. I've resorted to dropping a cog, gunning it and cutting infront if they don't seem to have acknowledged me.
#30
Twats in cars that cost twice my yearly income that are too tight to pay for a hands free kit-its illegal to be on the phone and drive for a reason
More twats that can't maintain a steady spead forcing you to overtake em
Even more twats that ignore the fact you are about to leave the slip road and go onto the motorway and insread of being observant and seeing you so they can allow you on (like the twat driving a minibus last week-the twat)

Middle lane spastics irritate me, and erratic driving like large variation in cruising speeds. Makes me want to ram them off the road!

Sorry pal but its up to you on the slip road to match your speed and find a gap, not the folk on the motorway.

people who brake unnecessarily!!
people on their phone
dogs on their laps
when two cars sit at the same speed and block both lanes
and in Vancouver where I live the police!! they like to stop on the side of the motorway with their lights on for no reason at all. happened to me today as I was driving down town, so much traffic then in the distance I see flashing lights, so as I get passed it, there was no traffic!!
