I've found one major annoyance since getting the Omega.  As the automatic gearbox seems to shift up to top gear at 45MPH I keep getting stuck behind traffic that insists on travelling at 44MPH, and it is usual to find a small red car driven by some stupid bint sitting at the front of a long queue of cars behind it.

..... they can hand their license in and  ..... 

but you're expected to 'make progress' when & where you can when you're learning to drive. I use a road on my way to & from work that's 30, then 60, then 40 and then back to 30 as it goes between fields & back to housing, it's not uncommon to sit behind some old bint doing 35 from start to finish  And then flash you for having the temerity to overtake them!!

As many have already complained ------poor or no signalling, especially at roundabouts, something I never, ever, forget to do.

People who brake from 30 to go past a Gatso in a 40 limit

Middle/outside lane rolling roadblocks really grate. Lorries should be un restricted. That would wake a few people up especially on motorways...

Loud music is perfectly acceptable, provided you've chosen it

Kiddies on scooters who think they can outrun a3.2 Omega

People who think that because you're driving a Taxi that you've automatically forgotten the Highway Code and how to apply it

I actually like the little boy racers who think there dressed up corsa/saxo/106/206 is any match for the omega. I find it hilarious to let them get about halfway past then leave them for dust!!

It appears that most taxi drivers have .........  eg parking on double yellows outside their rank, or double yellows all the way around roundabouts

 As said before, not signalling on round-a-bouts, tailgater's and middle lane hoggers.
 
      Hold on with the criticism of elder drivers  It will come to us all,................... come to think of it it all ready has for me        

[RobseyMV6]

I'm always in front the s##t driver's i can't stand waiting around! Always make me laugh, in my car after two hours i have a rest reminder flash on dash  like i need a rest, can't even get enough. Should have fitted to many million other car's but not mine!!! 

[Kevin Wood]

Oh, I forgot the idiots who slow down for the camera gantries in average speed zones on the motorway. Anyone who hasn't got a clue what average means should be on public transport.

  That's right - the standard of Muppetery exhibited by many of those of plying the roads is really quite concerning.

[OOMV6]

Ah, lots and lots. But I do try not to get too annoyed on the basis that there is no way I can change these people. They will continue to drive like wallies.

But...last week I was on my way through Luxembourg a huge traffic queue had been created by a broken down British tourist coach. Unfortunately the driver hadn't helped to give the British a good name by not pulling over into the hard shoulder. He just stopped in morning peak hour traffic on the inside lane of a 2 lane motorway. There was a hard shoulder there, but worse, the was also an exit slip road. I cannot think was emergency was so great he felt it necessary to stop on the inside lane. He was stood behind it looking in the engine bay speaking on the phone.
Still cannot figure out what he was thinking when he decided not to use the hard shoulder.

Fog/ driving lights that have to be on no matter what the weather
middle lane hoggers who have no idea why they are being flashed at

Sometimes good reason for middle land hoggers, lorry's always make line's on inside lane, not having joins all pulled around on my motor and if i'm going 70 + in middle lane i will NOT move to me it's 50-60 inside lane 60-75 middle line and 75-180 outside line, not like you can't over take on outside line.
