for me, there are the 3 most annoying things

1) Kids on scooters. They're 16 and have a 5bhp scooter and think they're God. They drive through red lights, insist on talking to each other as they ride next to each other (not looking where they are goin) , and generally think they're invincible cutting in and out of traffic like it wont kill them if they get hit.

2) blockers. Your in a side street waiting to pull out, theres a gap in the traffic, but the guy at the back of the gap speeds up to close the gap up, as hes driving towards red lights :rolleyes: FFS man, just let the guy out, your going nowhere !

3) idiots in the wrong lane. They know full well that lane is a right filter only, but they still they fancy a chance at racing you off the lights, cutting you up in the process. 3 lanes filtering into 2 is one thing, but right/left filter lanes at traffic lights are what really gets me.
 
Middle lane motorway idiots who refuse to move into the empty left lane effectively turning the motorway into a dual carriagway.

If everyone knew what they were doing the government would not need to add as many extra lanes to motorways.
 
Everybody Else.

It has to be said that when i was most of your ages the roads were great. You would come up behind the car in front give it some Boot and be passed and Free for another stretch of road.
Go out in the Late evening and you could race certain country roads and only endanger yourself and mates. Nowadays you just can't get the room for a good run. Theres cars coming the other way when you want to overtake and when you finally do get past you are just stuck behind the next Dude.
Track days are the only way to go now.

To Answer though i would say these ;

1. Middle Laners.

2. Peeps that Stop at Roundabouts. There Roundabouts NOT KIN STOPABOUTS.

3. The Never Pull out dudes. OFFS DUDE GET OUT THERE.

4. No Indicator Dude. Just Do and Go wherever you like mate a. PFFFffffff

5. People like Me who think they Own the road and also feel where they are going is far more important than anything you are doing. FFS i need to Chill out. :D
 
Lorry drivers changing lanes regardless of the fact that you are along side them

Lorry drivers blocking two lanes of a motorway while carrying out a 6 mile overtaking manoeuvre

Lorry drivers tailgating despite their much longer stopping distances

Lorry drivers with aggressive attitudes to other road users

Lorry drivers blocking a lane leading up to roadworks , the highway code says merge in turn you muppets


get my point :p

1. People who when approaching a round about with say two lanes, feel the need to go half in one lane and half in the other. ARGH!

2. People who drive round with their spot lights on, in the middle of the ******* day with not an inch of fog in a million mile radius! Idiots.

/Rant over :)
 
Cyclists that hope on and off the road, through red lights etc...

Kids on scooters with no respect for the road laws.

People who bloke me trying to filter on my bike or try and intimidate me with their cars.

People who don't indicate.

People who don't thank me for letting them in or appreciate that my manoeuver aided their progress.

Dangerous lorry drivers.

Bus drivers in london - they go far too fast and swing out round corners and always bully drivers out of the way.

People who drive too slow.

People who drive too fast.

Middle lane hoggers.

People who "didn't see you".

The list could go on.....

IMO this normally happens when its a chav that your letting in. I never ever let them in now, screw them all :) They're too hard to do a little wave and say thanks.

I guess - not too many around here, but 90% of the time people do appreciate it and say thanks.

Yea, I'm quite a kind driver and if I see the opportunity to let someone out then I won't hesitate to let them, but when they don't even wave or give you a flash to acknowledge what youv'e just done. Its just plain rude. But a lot of the time people do give you a wave.
 
what REALLY annoys me are people that will drive under the speed limit in say a national speed limit area and then continue at about 50 through a 40 or 30 area. It makes me look as if im holding up the traffic. Its usually old people as well. I think all old people should have to take their test again, their responses just arent quick enough, and just dont realise dangerous situations.
 
I always let pretty girls in :o

Often in London letting someone in helps to keep the traffic going, there's a sort of "unwritten rule" that states one person in, one person along, one person in etc... when filtering into a junction or side street etc. Most people do this, a lot of people are too arrogant to let people in. :(
 
1. Arse Huggers.

2. People who overtake on blind bends round horses and cyclists because they can't be bothered to wait until it is safe.

3. Scooters.
