40mph drivers, they do 40 in town, 40 on open road, 40 everywhere!

Tailgating

People going all the way around a roundabout in the outside lane

People who do below the speed limit when it's perfectly safe to do the normal speed

Middle lane hugging on the motorway

People who say they've never done any form of speeding in their life and hate anyone who dares to go 1 mph over the speed limit

People who act as if they own the road, and they're never in the wrong

Pot Holes

That's just to name a few.

Dangerous ditherers are the worst; they pull out of junctions, and halfway through the manouver decide that it isn't safe to continue and so stop in the middle of the road directly in front of the oncoming traffic! Or they join a motorway and at a heady 25.6789564783 MPH are so surprised that the slip road 'suddenly' ends and have to pull out into the inside lane whatever is coming, then they move directly to the outside land and accelerate to 97MPH for the next 213miles.

How about the jokers who manage to indicate exactly the reverse of what the highway code says on roundabouts?

Anyone who brakes hard whenever they see a speed camera, even though they were already driving 7mph below the speed limit. Not to mention when the cameras are average speed ones. These people are clearly proving that they are below average intelligence.

I could go on, but many of the other things that annoy me have already been covered.

Lazy indicating p155es me off the most. Coming off the roundabout at the exit before the one I'm waiting at but can't be @rsed to indicate so I know I can pull out. Why would they? It doesn't benefit them. >:(

Shortly followed by the idiots who have no capability whatsoever to judge entry speeds to corners, but are just programmed to brake before every bend, even though they drive at a constant 40 MPH anyway, and the bend is good for at least 60. >:(

Hand held mobile phoners. That blingy BMW/Audi/4x4 tractor POS is bound to have a bluetooth setup, yet you can't be @rsed to sync your gayphone with it so you just use it illegally, and it breaks up your already dodgy driving, but for some reason you seem to have escaped the 3 points and £100 that you're due. >:(

People who don't realise that I'm the best driver in the world and dare to look at me as if it could possibly be my fault. Fools.

Just this morning I had a woman almost rear end me then come at the side of me beeping away and shouting abuse at me because she didnt see my indication to pull in at the side of the road where it is perfectly legal to do so, I indicated with plenty of notice and braked gently, now this lane is wide enough for her to have passed me without having to even stray into the other lane, the reason she didnt see my indication? she was too busy looking in her mirror applying her makeup.

Yeah, true. As long as it has the toys they can brag about down the pub. None would ever stoop so low as to read the manual and figure out how to use them. ::)

I have plenty of patience for old people. We'll all be in that boat one day, and they simply don't want or need to live at the same pace as the rest of us. I have much more of a problem with more middle-aged people who seem to consider consider their journey in their BMW/Mini/Audi/4x4 that's too big for them to be more important than everyone else's. How urgent can it be to get to a golf club / pretentious gym / appointment to get one of those horrible orange false spray-on suntans anyway? ;)

the limit is a limit, not a target, if I want to do 27 or 28 in a 30 for a valid reason, I will. If the gloit behind me doesnt like that and then starts to tailgate me, I'll happily reduce my speed to 15 or slower to compensate for the reduced breaking distance to protect my car as they're obviously shite drivers. If they don't like it, they can hand their license in and sell their car. Simples
