They have to have window tints to hide the 4 15 year old girls in the back of a corsa/saxo, who are completely amazed at the wheelspins and handbrake turns that have just been performed by the driver in the local ASDA carpark.

people that for no reason sit in a line of traffic in the outside lane. Usually on Sundays. There are other lanes, move over and use them, if i can undertake you your not passing anything!
Mopeds who filter through to the front of the lights then pull off and make you overtake them - then get annoyed when you leave the same gap as they left you when filtering...
People who have no lane discipline on roundabouts, the number of times I've had people who would have side swiped me if I'd not got out of the way... Also includes the idiots who turn right in the inside lane without indicating
you get them on MPVs a lot, 4x4s and old s class size barges. i just worry these idiots cant see me
Sup bro
What can I say, I'm young and I like driving fast.
Didn't take you long to work out who that post was aimed to
People on a motorway in the outside lane going at 1mph faster than the inside lane with a clear open road ahead of them. They are causing a moving roadblock and will incur my wrath.
People sitting in the outside lane for no reason.
Lorry GP is only mildly annoying until the overtaking lorry hits a hill and is no longer faster than the other lorry. At this point I starting counting in my head to enforce a minimum time before I flash my lights to wake up the drivers.

I only get annoyed with people who follow you one foot away from your back bumper, also people who zoom past you then cut you up to pull into your lane causing you to break hard (usually people in Audis now!).
Oh yes and number 1 annoyance is taxi drivers, the worst and most dangerous motorists on the road.

They mainly annoy me through their thoughtless parking habits i.e. as long as they have hazards on, they appear to think they are entitled to park anywhere, even if it's causing a huge obstruction with traffic backed up on either side.
The people who think speed bumps are a good idea.
The people who thought the 50 mph zones are a good idea.
Civil servants (the ones who insist on placing speed bumps everywhere, putting up new posts just because a person complained about someone parking somewhere once, the ones who think paying 1.50€ per hour is a fair parking price
.).
People who can't park ( someone slightly scuffed my passenger rear corner recently.).
People in tiny 1.0 enigned cars who think they are racing me and floor and rev the nuts out of their cheap tax recession mobiles. ( ''People who can afford to spent £5k+ on a car but then base their choice on how cheap it is to tax. '').
People doing significantly lower than the maximum speed.
Voiturettes ( 45kph cars), I just get so annoyed when I'm stuck behind grandpa and I can't overtake.
People using full beams when I'm around.
Police officers thinking they are above the law, usually in some VW tranporter or Merc Sprinter, me doing slightly above the speed limit like everyone, they are behind me, then they put on their alarm lights JUST to illegally overtake me ( through a solid white line) when they don't have en emergency at all and turn the flashing lights off again once they're past me and then I catch up with them at the next traffic lights
.
People giving me the ugly look when I overtake them at 3am because I drive slightly above the limit at those times at night.
secondary school cyclists ( the 12-16 year olds aways think they have the right of way or simply don't care and always pull out without looking.).
People who don't cross/pull out/go when I give them the right of way even though I'm waving at them and flashing my lights telling them to GOGOGOGO...
People who are slow at traffic lights and cause me to drop to the first gear just because they didn't move for ages when the light turned green.
People who double park in places where there aren't enough parking bays.
Police who are using dirty tactics like speed camera's hidden in green ''kliko'' bins thinking they are actually improving road safely.
People not keeping to the right.
People not indicating on roundabouts.
Environmentalists.
Window washers at lights ( in Poland they were annoying as hell).
Gipseys ( roma) in Poland standing at the lights begging for cash with their babies in their arms, then proceeding to return to their massive mansions in their brand new Skoda's and VW's, dirty little **** get a job rather than living a rich life without ever working. I am annoyed by everyone falling for the trick and giving them money too...
People who insist on overtaking me while I'm driving on cruise control, only to slow down right in front of me again causing me to turn of my CC or overtake them again ( and them getting annoyed at me overtaking them again).
etcetc

Well, I'm young and suffer from road rage, I admit to it?
Though saying that I don't needlessly overtake, I overtake when some idiot is wafting along slowly, can't stand wafters.
Idiots in the middle lanes that flash when you either pull in after overtaking them or flash you when you come up the inside of them after going down a sliproad on a long feeder lane which ends 200yards before going past them but because they are going 25mph its too dangerous to go around them!
Which nicely leads onto those people with no ability whatsoever to merge with motorway/DC traffic, and end up stopped at the end of the slip road.
People that...
.. can't merge in turn and try to cause accidents by suddenly pulling out into other lanes to block them
.. flash their lights or their horn when you've overtaken them in a perfectly legitimate and justifiable manner
.. anyone that does less than NSL on a NSL road when conditions are fine for it
.. people driving on back roads that are incapable of tracking the road causing sprayed up bits of mud and gravel on the edge of the road to hit following car i.e. me
.. people that, where there is a whole queue of cars waiting to overtake some slowmo up ahead, try to jump the car in front of them who is already clearly about to go for the overtake as well
.. people that are unable to pre-empt when approaching roundabouts
.. fog light idiots
.. sidelight idiots
.. sidelight and fog light idiots
.. no light idiots when the conditions or light level clearly call for it

Omg these are far far worse, number of these I see around here, usually old grey haired buggers who should be in a home not in a car is scary.
Had a nice one today. Overtook a car just as the road opened up to a dual carriage way, nothing unusual there. Started to pull back into the left lane, doing 70mph as per the limit when someone from a side road joined the road ahead... at 1mph. No problem, looking way ahead and saw it coming so went back from the middle of the road back to the right lane again.. but no they decided to continue swerving/drifting right over to the right hand lane. Queue me filling my trousers whilst putting the anchors on quickly. They had no idea I was there until I got close to them and he pulled back over to the left. Continued past, whilst leaning on the horn.

So young yet so much anger
Not anger ( well except for the ****'s who damage my car
), annoyance, I am very annoyed to drive in heavy to normal traffic usually and only really enjoy driving at night when the roads are mostly empty 
.my three from today...
1. Nissan Primera in the outside lane of a dual carriageway with 70 speed limit doing 55mph with a car on the inside lane about 6 ft ahead doing exactly the same speed for about 3 miles until my junction came.
2. Old fart woman at a roundabout, waiting, waiting... ahh, here's a rather large gap, nope, i'll open my door to get the protruding bit of coat inside, FFS.
3. Vauxhall vivaro decided he wanted to drive 8mm from my back end down a 30mph limit at my indicated 32mph, i proceeded to slow to 25mph just to pee him off a bit more, he soon got the hint and backed off to at least 12mm. Had i been in a shed with my son not in the rear, i'd have certainly spotted a dog in the road or something.
That's all for todays episode, tune in again to hear stories from my drive upto Newcastle tomorrow
