I'm finding that I get cut up and tailgated on a daily basis,especially on the M60 around Manchester. Braking hard whilst being tailgated is very dangerous,more so in the wet. I tend to drop back further from the car in front ,leaving more time for braking, therefore avoiding having to slam on when the traffic slows down.
This can frustate the tailgater to the extent that they try to dive up the inside .so I then swiftly close the gap to the car in front whilst the guy who was tailgating my tailgater closes up to then tailgate me leaving the first tailgater seething in the middle lane with nowhere to go!
So much fun when it comes together,and it's legal.

Ticked everything but caravans

Hate non signallers, wrong lane users on roundabouts

Doddery old gits

People who drive everywhere at 40mph (upset a work mate saying this!!!!)

And caravans pulled by planks who don't consider that the long queue behind them want to get past. Yes I was towing mine yes I did flash at him to get him to pull over -but they only did it because they thought there was a problem.

Actually I forgot my real pet hate.

When you are doing 70mph quite legally. Some numpty passes you then cust in 20ft in front, spots the speed camara and slows down to 50mph, meaning you pull and and overtake (still doing 70). Half way through the overtake we all pass the camera and then they speed up again.

When will people realise that you will NOT get done for doing 70mph in a 70mph zone!

And another.

50mph advanced waring sign on motorway, ie 50mph 1 mile ahead. That means that in 1 mile the speed limit will be 50mph, NOT NOW!!!!!!

So, I carry on at 70mph passing them all. Get towards the 50mph zone, slow down to 50mph, and get passed by the same morons now doing 60mph!

And another......

LORRY DRIVERS. You know the ones, they wait until you are 3mm from passing them and on comes the indicator whilst they swerev in front of you.

Or, they will race you away from the lights somehow and then do 40mph all the way along this A road. But when you get to the one and only dueal carriageway bit, they want to overtake their hairy girlfriend in the other 40 tonner, and they take the full 2 miles to do so - cutting back in just as it retirns to a single carriageway again.

Or they flash everone who passes them as if to say 'its ok, you've got 1ft clearance - please pull in front of me so I can kill you when you stop!'


Grrrrrrrrrr >:(

The one that pretends he didn't see the lane closed ahead signs for the last three miles and then tries to push his way in just before he hits the cones >:(

Anyone driving at a different speed to me.

I always drive at precisely the correct speed. This is demonstrated by the fact that anyone who overtakes me is a prat with a death wish and anyone who causes me to slow down is a tosser who needs to retake their driving test.

Oh yeah, people who are about to get in their car, they look around, see you coming & yet still open their door just as you get to them making you swerve/brake hard  :(

You must be the one that sits at 70 in the outside lane of 4 then wonders why people are coming up the inside of you!  ;D

Yes, as someone has touched on above....

Anyone who drives slower than me is a doddery old fool. Anyone who drives faster is a bloody maniac!

I find most drivers are actually quite good. The bad ones are generally lorry drivers, women, old people, young people, nissan micra drivers, people with any 4x4 vehicles, lorry drivers, lorry drivers, people with 8 kids in the back none of which have seat belts on, lorry drivers, everyone that uses the M1, lorry drivers, people who slow right down when they see a police car even though they are not speeding in the first place, queue jumpers, caravanners who don't give a toss (Martin Imber is NOT in this list), lorry drivers, boy racers, girl racers with 'bitch' on their cars, anyone in a Ford Fiesta, anyone with a hat on, anyone wearing leather gloves, scooter drivers with a pea shooter exhaust who like texting with one hand whilst driving 8" behind me, anyone who tries to bully me into getting out of their way when I am overtaking at 70mph - just makes me ease off the gas and take that bit longer, lorry drivers, anyone who is in front of me at a two lane set of lights who puts their indictaor on to turn right just after the lights change to green, anyone who does their paperwork while driving, anyone doing 40mph on the M1 yesterday in a 1978 Morris Marina with a 2 mile queue behind them, anyone who doesn't understand car park machines that require you to pay BEFORE you get to the barrier with me behind them......

And this is just a small sample!

I agree, perhaps with exception of Italy - esp the cities. One rule in Italian cities - every man for himself  ;D. Its not how you drive, its how good you look whilst driving...

Whilst driving through Genoa earlier this year, bit of traffic jam anyway, but people in front started a heavy petting session halfway across a traffic light junction, much to the annoyance of a bus driver who was waving his arms a lot. L'amour....
