Things that annoy you when driving!

Fixed.

People who drive slowly, needlessly, on open roads. Fine if it's dark and utterly ******* with rain so hard you can barely see where you're going I guess, but not in broad clear daylight :rolleyes: It just smacks of driving without due care and attention to me. Usually OAPs, too.


People on the motorway who get scared of police cars and Highways Agency cars... GRRR you don't ALL have to slow down in EVERY lane to 60mph, for a start the HATOs can't do squat whether you pass them at 60 or 80, and the police won't care unless you're driving like a pillock. If you must all slow down, move over so that I can pass you safely (without becoming congregated with you lot all in a tiny space) at a reasonable speed. Grr.

People who have to stop at wide open roundabouts and then look and then move on. WHY !!!

AMEN!, just utter stupidity, I've has so many close calls with people that insist on doing this. People just don't know how to use roundabouts, I always enjoy the person in the far left lane who insists on going right and cutting everybody up!

I hate people who fly up the inside undertaking cars that have already pulled out to pass a slow moving vehicle, they tear down the inside until they reach the slow moving vehicle and then try and pull out, I mean FFS!

Also why do people brake so much, don't they know if they take their foot of the loud peddle the cars slows down, I guess a bit of engine breaking is beyond them!

Tailgating also angers me, I always leave a decent space in front, meaning I'm liable to be cut up by the undertaking buffoon, sometimes I could spit!

People that can't accept that my car is faster than theirs, I can do 155Mph if I want to, the fact your MPV or Micra can do 100Mph don't impress me much. I do love coming to a roundabout and nailing it and watching them dissapear, then slow down and repeat, oh the joy of watching them rant and gesticulate at the BMW driver hahahahahha :)

People who start braking for a turning BEFORE they indicate.:mad:

That is something that really pee's me off, but around here where the average IQ is probably about 80, it's the only way you know they're turning.

I also hate people who don't know how to use traffic lights, there is one place in town where it's 3 lanes wide, Left and straight ahead, ahead and right. Now the lights change for the left and straight ahead and ahead at the same time, as the right lane cuts across a dual carriage way and so isn't allowed to go, but the amount of people that just see a green light for the first two lanes and then go through the red light and just sit in the middle of the junction waiting to cross... what idiots!!

Another one being people who can't decide what lane they're in or constantly swap lanes just to try to get in front. That really annoys me.
 
People who pull out in front of you in roundabout even though you are indicating, almost went into the side of 2 cars in the same week on the same roundabout where I live and was forced to do an emergency stop to avoid a crash both times. First time was some Chinese guy in an Accord that just looked blankly at me and the second time was some silly bint but at least she apologised.
 
Ever since my bike accident, my attitude to driving has calmed down a lot now. I dont really let things annoy me.

I think the main problem with driving is the absolute self centeredness of it. No one consideres anyone else on the road. Most of the things that people are getting annoyed about are merely examples of this.

I can't understand the futility of racing up to to someones rear bumper when they're clearly in a rolling queue and then having to brake hard at the last second. As if its going to get you where you're going any faster, or you're going to intimidate the person in front to pull over.

I was in a car with one of my colleages last weekend and we spent the entire journey doing exactly that. Seriously, who manages to only get 42mpg from a TDI golf on a 400 mile motorway run.

Only two driving habits get my back up:

People who drive slower than me and won't get out of my way.

People who tail gate me, expecting me to get out of their way.

Cyclists who run red lights and when you almost take them out, look at you as if it's there right of way. we need police who give fixed penaltys to cyclists.

Don't forget the ones that just randomly join roundabouts, whether it is their right of way or not. Especially annoying on the mini-roundabouts where things are often tight anyway.
 
people that cant use roundabouts

people that tailgate in nsl roads but never overtake, im on r plates so cant go over 45mph so this happens a lot.
 
could make a list as long as my arm.

top 3 are :

tailgaters, but i deal with them by slowing down to 1 or 2mph below the speed limit.

people who park in such stupid places, on blind bends etc.

people who pull out infront of you and make no effort to get up to the speed your doing.

things annoy me more since i learned to drive a truck because i no how much more effort it would take to deal with the situation.
 
Drivers who, when at a set of lights on Red, sitin the right hand lane that is for straight ahead or turning right, decide once the lights have changed to Green, pull forward, brake and only then deem it appropriate to indicate to let us know they are turning right leaving me sat behind them with nowhere to go.
 
-Pot holes and generally poor road surfaces. Some roads around here look like third world dust tracks. Infact that's being unkind to dust tracks.

-Most Audi drivers.

-The go anywhere at 40mph brigade.

-People who tailgate on motorways when you're on the inside lane, and have no chance of pulling over to the middle. I had a Saab driver flash me before because I was in his way at 95mph, and had nowhere to go. That's probably the closest I've come to wanting to bat someone round the face.

-Nissan Almeras. I hate them and truly feel for anybody that has to be a passenger in one. As such, the owner and car should be crushed together. Usually part of the drive anywhere at 40 brigade.

-People who slam the anchors on at the first sight of a Police vehicle.
 
- People who stop to let people out when traffic in the lane they're in is free flowing. I will happily let people out of junctions on occasion when traffic is very slow moving or at a standstill, but I wouldn't perform an emergency stop just to let someone out of a side road, yet some people seem to think this is fine...

- Tailgating...

- People who presume every junction/roundabout should be treated exactly the same, ignoring all road signs and markings to the contrary. Sometimes the left hand lane is left turn only, and doesn't allow you to go straight on. Sometimes the right hand lane is right turn only, not another option to go straight on. Yet still people are morons and get it wrong, almost causing accidents. Wolverhamptons ring road has many such junctions which do not follow the more common layout and the number of times people are in the wrong lane and then do something dangerous is astounding.

- People who beep at you/flash their lights when you go sailing past their queue of traffic in a part-time bus lane. If its only a bus lane for part of the day....I'll use it outside of those hours. Yet everybody else prefers to queue :rolleyes:
 
Roundabouts - Because it's impossible to go through a day without some **** cutting you up on them. (Probably more towards drivers then roundabouts)

Drivers who beep/flash you after you have used the correct road markings and they haven't. Idiots.

When you see signs to indicate that a two lanes are about to merge so you begin to indicate to move into the other lane where they is a gap only for the other driver in that lane decides to accelerate to close the gap. Cheers.

Drivers who don't acknowledge you after you have let them past...

People with fast cars who drive them at 50mph on motorways. What's the point, you might as well save a penny or two and buy a Corsa.
