Tail gating is the one that really winds me up.
Which one or what really winds you up?

[TheBoy]

Can't be arsed to check link, but:

People driving ridiculously slowly
People waiting for rush hour to end before pulling out of a junction

[Lazydocker]

Both of TB's annoy me. Plus...
Using the mobile (hand held) is a big hate of mine.
Squeezing in at the last minute when in a traffic queue or losing a lane bugs me, especially if said car has pulled out from the queue to try and jump I have been known to hold my ground and witness a "cone shower"
Not acknowledging when let out/through.
General bad driving.

So pretty much 75% or more of people on the road

[tooleater]

Apoligises to Admin last Post OTT

[SIR Philbutt]

"Women were most annoyed by people tail-gating their cars (4.63), with men more annoyed by people hogging the middle lane (4.33)"

Can anyone see the correlation here, she's hogging the middle lane and he's "up her arris" try to get her out the way. Well I could have told them that without a survey 

[rob in gib]

Don`t get me started on my driving hates!

Just recomend everybody drives in Spain for a while, then realise most people in the UK can ACTUALLY drive!
 

[Elite Pete]

All of them

[bigboykarl]

i travel the m1 in the early hours of the morning...the amount of times i'll be in the inside lane travelling along and i'll find a lone car travelling along in the middle or the outside lane travelling slower than me

[geoffr70]

Arris holes who pull back in to the left after you've both accelerated away from a junction/lights, not indicating or checking their mirrors, thinking that they're well passed you, because their 3 year old fwd shitbox is obviously faster than an old mans car.

[phill osey]

All of TB and LD's points

plus.... people who dont know what there car is capable of... like those who wait ages to pull out, when there have been gaps that a chieftan tank could have  got into

All of the above points others have made are things that annoy me, however the thing that annoys me more than anything is people going all the way around a roundabout in the left hand lane. When I come to power there will be a man in the middle of every roundabout holding a shotgun, if you go all the way around in the left hand lane, you will be shot at the side of the road.

[flyer 0712]

Driving on motorway just approaching an exit when some armhole comes past doing 90mph only to cut in front of you to come off at exit just to gain 5 seconds..

[phill osey]

yep Yar, that bugs me too

Grandad in front can barely turn his neck to look left then pulls out onto a busy 60mph road doing 25 
Boy racer with saxo 2mm off the ground slows to almost a stop to go over the middle of 15 speed ramps so not to rip his big bore off 
Today a boy racer in his chav honda smoking tyres behind me egging me on to go faster but i go slower

Middle age guy in Monaro low to the ground slows to almost a stop to go over the middle of 15 speed ramps so not to rip his big bore off 
Today a boy racer in his chav honda smoking tyres behind me egging me on to go faster but i go slower 

Fixed that for you

40 mph drivers - thats the ones who do 40 on any road at any time, be that the High Street or the motorway.

Those who refuse to drive in lane 1 of the motorway 'cos thats for lorries, despite there being no traffic in there as far as you can see in any direction.

Those who forget that there are giveway lines at the end of the motorway on slips and think it is their God given right to pull into traffic on the motorway at whatever speed suits them and causing untold mayhem in the process.

Using fog lights when you can see for miles.

there are others but these jump instantly to mind....

Forgot that one , believe you can be fined for that in certain counties 

[phill osey]

yep hate the foglights when not needed

also,, those poor individuals who seem to have traded  indicators in their cars for a a cd player, just because their music is blaring, DOES NOT mean we are mind readers and know which way they are going

Slip road use. Failing to adjust speed to suit the traffic flow, and compensating by darting from the left lane of the slip road to lane 1 of the motorway the instant the cross hatchings are passed.
 Usually doing about 50mph, straight across my nose, and causing traffic in lane 1 to swerve into 2 or brake heavily.

While there is at least 1500 miles of on slip still unused ahead of them.


What is the panic? USE THE FE@KIN SLIP ROAD OBSERVING LANES. AAAAAAAH!


Sorry...1,2 and breaaath 9,10.

had exactly that this evening on my way home tonight. The slip road is one of the longest you'll ever find, but the halfwit in front of me joined the m/way at the earliest opportunity at 50 ....... then he was pi$$ed off with me because I was right up his harris.

[Murph]

Other road users.


That is all!   

[albitz]

On the way to/from work I can pretty much guarantee that I will encounter all of the above on any given day,so Im trying to teach myself not to get angry anymore,as I will end up having a heart attack mid commute.
I did get annoyed this evening however when every other car coming towards me had their front fogs switched on due to the fact its now dark before 9pm. This was at the same time as having spent 3 miles behind someone in new Fiat 500 who did exactly 37mph on the straight bits and braked heavily at every single sign the road may deviate slightly from perfectly straight.
The one I really have trouble ignoring is those who try to force their way through when they obviously dont have right of way.I have clipped wing mirrors many times when carrying on regardless when people pull round a line of parked cars rather than wait until they have a clear road to pull into.

or there's the other one, when exiting, immediately take the slip at earliest oppertunity, but rather than keep left heading for lane 1, hug the give way line all the way to the cross hatchlings, by which time they're in lane 2, then dart back to lane 1 of slip. ...or not, and just sit in lane 2 of the slip. Ffs.

Thats a good one D, comes in 2nd place after tailgating. Also to mention i do have the rear blind which goes up in these instances, to block em out my view 

[waspy]

Only yesterday I pulled onto our estate, came around the corner & pulled up to allow a BMW to come through, because it was his right of way. He came half way along the parked cars, drove up a dropped kerb & stopped on the pavement, no indication at all. When I drove past him very slowly around two seconds later he was on the phone
There was two other cars behind, else I would've stopped & gave him a gob full.
So four offences in total...............Driving a BMW, no indication, driving along the pavement & chopsing on the phone

[feeutfo]

A gob job?    Pete, really!

Err no. I have very sharp teeth
