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.

In front of their families ;D

You've caught on fast, you can be my second in command  :y.

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....

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.

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.

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 >:( ;D
