Stuck behind some t@@t crawling along doing 20mph or less.....(think they call it cruising) I don't know but it always happens in a certain area were I live, and normally when I'm in a hurry. Another annoyance failing to signal a left turn at a junction or left/right signal on a roundabout.

Obviousl tw8ts on the road ;D

But fogs, front or rear, on when not foggy
Tailgating - on my old tuned mgb engined riley years ago i could switch my brake lights on with a switch and boot it - that always worked ;D ;D
Pr8tts in my way doing 30mph on a derestricted road
New cars that dont have indicators fitted - Fords seem to be worse!!
Poor road positioning

I could go on for ages - I must be a grumpy old driver ;D ;D ;D

Slow people. Lifes too short, get your rather foot down, or break off out of the way

Not indicating when entering/leaving a roundabout.
Using mobile phones when on the move.
Babies/toddlers sitting unrestrained/not in correct infant seats.
Tail-gating boy racers - break 'em, I make 'em wait!

I haven't seen this one on here yet so I thought I'd add it.

People who think that it's perfectly safe to join a motorway from a short slip road at 40mph. With trucks bearing down in Lane 1 at 50+.

I've genuinely feared for my life when stuck behind those imbeciles - I even saw someone actually STOPPED at the end of a slip road, waiting for a gap big enough to pull into!

Where I join the motorway to come home, it's not a short slip road but people seem to think they need to get in lane 1 ASAP rather use all the slip road to get to speed.

the tosspots around here need to get off sliproad and into outside lane, regardless of how busy or empty motorway is, as soon as possible.  Obviously, time spent in outside lane must help your penile prowess or something in these parts...

Just thought of another one, as per yours... off the sliproad, straight into lane three, stay there for entire journey then veer off at the last minute from lane three to sliproad again.

Seen that more times than I care to mention and it drives me nuts.

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
Spot on there mate. I reckon they know exactly what they're doing.
  The other pet hate is being sat at a roundabout in the truck wanting to go straight ahead. It takes a while to get 44t moving unlike the MV6.
  Watching the right , a comes out with no indication. That tells me he's going straight on so i can crawl out, then he flies round to make a right exit but with no indication then the horn blasts, the lights flash, gestures, rather' truck drivers etc. well rather' indicate & i'll give way to you. I jumped out of the cab to one such c*ck & he changed his mind & went straight on to avoid me, i heard his central locking click.
   When going right @ a r'about please let the rest of the world know, so many don't. ::)
