People who pull out in front of me, and then take ages to get to anything like a reasonable speed.
People who cant use roundabouts with more than one lane leading up to them properly, despite signposting (one in particular heading into Wrexham on the A483 comes to mind)

It doesn't matter if I'm in my car, on my bike or running, it's other drivers that annoy me. Because people are inconsiderate self-centred ****s.
Another one is road rage. Some people seem to drive with their finger poised over the horn ready to blast their annoyance at the first opportunity. I occasionally lean on the horn after someone trys to wipe me out on a roundabout but afterwards I just end up thinking that I'm the bigger ****.
A friend of mine is always going on about "I'd have beeped him then" "FFS what are they waiting for..." etc. all over the smallest of issues. If he covered 20k a year like I do he'd have a heart attack the way he goes on!

Spilling my coffee in my lap whilst on he phone and eating a burger at 140mph.

Young people who are clearly not fit to be on the road

Lack of confidence and those with severe hesitance.
Why the hate
I hate drivers who come up behind you in the middle lane, when your overtaking something in the inside lane, when the outside lane is clear. As soon as you move back into the inside lane, they put their foot down and speed off, still in the middle lane.
If you want to go faster, GO AROUND!!!!

That pretty much sums up all French cars.

Aftermarket headlight bulbs (non factory spec)
For me, anyone using these should get an instant 3 points.
Yes I know its possible to improve on the original, especially as the car ages but its just opened the playing field for dickheads using bulbs that are extremely annoying at night.
Not knowing the procedure at roundabouts.
Surprising but true, especially in North Manchester, the person on your right sits there and waits for you to go
Hogging the outside lane on motorway
Get angry just thinking about this one.
Rubber necking at accidents causing a tailback twice as long as it would otherwise be.

I guess you wouldn't like one feature of my Honda Insight. For Auto Stop to work you have to sit with your foot on the brake. Lift off the brake and the engine restarts.
I would love someone to reprogram it so it would just autostop when you put the car in neutral with foot off the pedals.
When an accident is on the other side of the motorway, yet your side has slowed to a crawl. Thats what really drives me baloney.

People who park at the rear pump in stations when the front one is free / about to leave.

Yes, been in that situation too, you see flashing blue lights in the distance, traffic slows to a crawl and when you get there 30 minutes later its on the other side

My favorite is when you sit in a jam, and as you get moving again, you see there was no reason what so ever to of been sat there, on your side, or the other.

Oh, also people who don't keep junctions clear in queues. End up with both sides blocked heavily just because some berk is blocking a turn.
