all of these i consider to be irritants that go with driving these days, however i try not to get stressed and sit there smugly knowing that i am a better driver than these muppets as i don't display any of these traits......

getting stressed gets you nowhere, aside from annoyed

[HerefordElite]

not indicating especialy on roundabouts, just let me know where you're going then i can get on my way or not pull out in front of you

[richardirv]

Got loads of hates but the one you see most often for me is:

People not indicating correctly round roundabouts!! When your sat there waiting and people don't indicate when turning right and then beep at you when you pull out in front of them!! GGGrrrrrr!!!!

Worlds best things to cope with traffic jams

1) Air con
2) Auto box
3) A personal loo 10 foot behind you

.......
Telegraph hill Devon,  ......

4 of us in a hired Fiesta. Hit the bottom of the hill doing 80-ish and were just about moving in 2nd gear at the top!      
That was a loooong time ago and the hill & lanes have changed somewhat since.

Whilst in me truck.....people who drive at 52/54 mph in inside lane on m/way and when you go to overtake them they speed up   they then slow down again after 100 mtrs or so and you come up them again and do the same again .That really peeves me off big style

I have seen them - bumholes

Get them when caravaning too

About 50 near the top - just in second. Going down the A38 though I had my GP100 off the clock.

I know my dad has done silly speed on the Newton Abbot road, 3 figures up the hill on a bike

Driving the MX5 isn't stressful, its not civilised enough to go tearing down the outside lane so I tend to take the A or B roads, get the roof down and chill in more ways than one

[Martin_1962]

OK This is not a rant.

When heading off on holiday with a van I am restricted to lanes 1 & 2, also 60mph but I do go at 65mph to provide a safer speed differential to pass lorries.

90% of lorries flash to let you know it is safe to pull in.

Much appreciated

I worked with a bloke who used to tow a caravan.
They got stuck in a long jam somewhere, so his wife jumped in the 'van to brew up. Needless to say a copper drives passed on the hard shoulder as shes doing so. "Oh bo11ocks!!" he thinks. "Two teas please" says the copper "I'll be back in 10"
And he was!        [smiley=thumbup.gif]

I have days like that in the Spider.....get a wind breaker to go between the seats, they really work, no chilly cabin anymore
