annoying drivers

[raywilb]

I suppose we all have things that we find annoying about other drivers. I travel north on the A19 from York to Thirsk quite a bit & for its entirety its a single lane highway. lots of times there is a car doing 20mph under the permitted speed limit, not only that often they whenever a car comes towards them move over to the nearside & slow down even more. I wont mention the tractors. 

[Bigron]

Are they the sort of driver that wears a hat in the car.....with a feather in the hatband?

I take A19 quite often in the summer, but I don't join until Jcn 48 of the A1. It's dual carriageway after that and always runs pretty quick. You've got to have your wits about you though, or you'll fly straight past the turn off for Thirsk, and end up in Middlesbrough.

Its now getting rare to see  car driven well, by a competent and confident driver. The sights I see going to and from work, make me despair.
It ranges from the simply moronic to the downright dangerous, every day.

[Sir Tigger KC]

People who don't indicate on roundabouts really get my goat! 

It's so common now that if I am approaching a roundabout and a car is coming the other way and not indicating, I stop to see where he/she/it is going, as you just can't assume they are going straight across.

How about the 'drivers' who push the brake pedal just enough to put the lights on but not slow down? Then, sometime later you have no indication that they've started slowing down.


And no, I don't drive up their arse to start with

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

My constant annoyance is the ones who pull out in front of me, causing me to slow down rather than drive into them. Then drive along in front of me at a much lower speed than I was doing before they pulled out.
If they aren't in any hurry why the fark did they pull out in the first place. If life was fair I should be allowed to shoot these people.

.....  or pull along side me on the motorway & then box me in by matching my speed, usually because they're f***ing about on their phone  or those that do 35mph whether the limit is 30 or 40 or 50 or NSL 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

The powers that be might as well make all nsl single carriageway roads maximum 40mph now, because no-one seems to do more than 40 on nsl roads these days.
Im sure most of them dont even know what the white sign with black line through it means.
I spend most of my time driving a 28 year old, very slow diesel car, pretty sensibly imo, yet constantly get held up by people in modern cars driving very slowly for no reason whatsoever.

I used to find that in a 1500 automatic Avenger!

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Probably similar performance to my 190D. 

[Doctor Gollum]

And as for those who insist on doing 70+ and blocking lane 2 on dual carriageways but will only do 60 on a motorway

[Rods2]

I always found it easier to not discriminate by hating all other drivers. Without them on the roads getting in the way, causing traffic jams and I would able to park anywhere on the clear roads. So ban all vehicles & drivers except mine, TB's & Big Ron's as he will be transport minister in a TB government.

[Bigron]

Thanks for the inclusion, Rods2. Should we have a token woman driver too? I nominate Emma Peel.

Emma Peel?  I'd have thought she's a bit dusty by now?
