Completely unreasonable things that really piss you off when you’re driving

Drivers who hit the accelerator on an amber when they can see a queue of cars in the opposite direction wanting to turn right on the same amber light (who have all queued for longer).

Drivers who live in cities but choose to own unreasonably massive cars and proceed to drive down the middle of two way roads and take up two parking bays every time they go shopping

Drivers who take a thousand years to turn left (where there are no hazards, traffic or any cause to drive under 15 mph)

When drivers don't thank you for letting them through (when you had right of way)

Overly loud sirens - I can hear an ambulance from approximately 2 miles away but can't tell what direction it's coming from or if it will even head towards my road. They're too damn loud.

Overtaking a really wobbly and slow cyclist only for the red lights to betray you and let them overtake you again. Then have to try and safely overtake them again while they work out what the minimum speed for staying upright is.

Cyclists on e-bikes who refuse to pedal when you're waiting for the junction they're passing to clear

Pedestrians who pass in front of your car at a crossing just when the traffic clears

LED laser beams

People who drive for pleasure and just waft around causing nuisance to everyone else

People who stop to let you through when they have right of way and you’ve already stopped for them. It’s so unnecessary and slows everyone down.

when waiting to turn right out of a t junction, in heavy traffic, having the person in the left lane flash to let me out, then get annoyed that I don’t go. No I won’t go, because there is a stream of cars coming the other way and I don’t think it’s a good idea to pull out into oncoming traffic! It’s the dramatic gesturing, trying to wave me out that pisses me off.

People who indicate to go round parked cars. There’s no need!
People who drive 10+mph under the speed limit.
People who brake constantly when there is just no need.

I am however guilty of slingshotting around roundabouts. Why queue if there is an alternative route!?

People who don’t wave thank you when I’ve stopped to let them through on a narrow lane. Also miserable drivers who just barge through the village way too fast for pedestrians with no pavements. Basically people without manners who are in their bubble of one.A smile and a wave makes the day go much better thank you all the thoughtful drivers.

At least there's some rules to driving... Try walking! It's a complete free for all to be a rage biting, street blocking arsehole 😁
It's the last 3 minutes into work - 1 across the car park, 1 up an escalator, 1 minute busy walk - that finish my nervous system for the day before it's even started!

People who swing their car left before taking a right into a side street (or vice versa) so they pretty much go into the opposite lane of traffic. Your car ain't that big and the side road ain't that tight

People who can’t use the zipper merge. I’m not queuing for half a mile because you’re an idiot and will absolutely go down the empty lane and merge in.

People who cause queues by not using all the lanes. There’s some lights near us where 2 lanes open out into 3, I’m using that 3rd lane.

People who trundle along in the middle lane on the motorway.

People who can’t read the enormous signs and road markings telling you which lane to be in.

Essentially, other road users.

The road to my work! It has a cycle path all the way along, separated from the road by a grass verge, and is a bendy road so little opportunity to overtake. I used to have a modicum of sympathy because it was a dirt track and not great for road bikes, but it was made tarmac a couple of years ago so no excuse now. GET ON THE BLOODY TRACK YOU LYCRA CLAD IMBECILE.

I don’t think it’s particularly unreasonable but people usually Men, often driving Mini Coopers that refuse to reverse. We live rurally with a lot of local roads that are either entirely or in part not wide enough to pass. I am so tired of having to reverse for 10s of metres to a passing place because they refuse to reverse just a car length or so back to a passing place, and often aggressively keep pushing forward while I’m reversing, sometimes to the degree that if I need to pull forward a tad to readjust my line I don’t have space to. The width of the road isn’t my fault mate! A fella a couple of weeks back was pushing me to reverse back out of a lane on to a main road, despite there being a big field entrance he could have pulled into just feet behind him!

Also people who don’t say thanks for a courtesy, although DH is sometimes guilty of this, so I’ll often wave for him if I’m in the passenger seat.

when I come to a stop behind a stationary car (usually at traffic lights) leaving what I consider a perfectly decent gap

and the previously-stopped car then moves a couple of feet closer to the car in front of them

so they've obviously deliberately left a huge gap - whyyyyyyy?

People that can’t turn a corner without cutting it
i will be waiting to turn right onto the main road and someone turns right off the main road into my road and nearly takes the front end of my car off
it’s an angle, steer properly!

When you are trying to turn right into your place of work and the lights on the other side of the road turn to red yet there is always one dickhead that would rather come to a stop and not let you turn right rather than holding back and letting you go through’ grinds my bloody gears (no pun intended)

Drivers who turn left on a roundabout without indicating.

Slow drivers in a 50 zone.

Haha of course this is fine - I used to do it regularly and more people should as would keep traffic moving while you swing round.

Flashing to let people out of junctions or into junctions when there's plenty of time for me to cruise to it without having to slow down, and there'll unlikely be another chance for them due to the line of traffic behind me... but they're too busy looking at their dashboard/phone/sat nav paying no attention whatsoever. Winds me up SO much! My DH goes mad "why do you bother?!"

Working in the office during Covid was bliss!

My pet hates - when turning right, you’re supposed to position your car so that other drivers can pass on your left. However, many drivers just stop in the middle of the lane waiting to turn thereby holding up all of the traffic behind them.
Also - other drivers don’t let you finish a three point turn, they just have to drive past you on the second point before you’ve finished the manoeuvre.
Finally, drivers who are scared to drive in bus lanes because they don’t read the signs saying when it’s not a bus lane.
I agree with a PP, you’re always supposed to help keep the traffic flowing safely.

Vehicles that don't move when emergency vehicles on their blues n twos are approaching.

We should not be seeing ANY food or drink packaging on the side of roads. The outside isn't one great big bin.

Finished that bottle of water? Leave it in the car until you get to your destination or stop enroute - such filling up with fuel. Many people drive in cars resembling tips so one bottle isn't going to be the end.

One thing I see on A and B roads are the high amount of alcohol drink cans and bottles tossed on the drivers side. There is a serious drink n driving issue.

I have no idea what this means. Slingshot?

Not indicating at busy roundabouts especially those with two lanes because you can still be going right around or off. I swear we need bloody mind reading skills.

People not letting people merge from slip roads. Summer is the worst for that but the collective nope not letting people in front of me as its busy 🙄

To the left, to the left
Keep your motherfucking car to the left.

Stay in the left hand lane argh 😤 😤

A hundred times this (which hardly ever happens in east London).

Indicating right to go straight over a roundabout. Using wrong lane to go straight over a roundabout. Not indicating at all to go first left off a roundabout. Why don’t people know how roundabout’s work ffs
