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

Middle lane drivers . Also people who won’t overtake the police when they are sitting under the speed limit on the motorway so they are driving along at the same speed as them but won’t pull over

If the car has started its manoeuvre and cannot move over than it does, in fact, have right of way over someone who has not yet begun the manoeuvre, despite them being on the ‘wrong’ side of the road.

I failed my first driving test because I reversed and pulled in to let a car pass me, because I was on the wrong side and so thought they had right of way and I hate to move. But because I’d started driving and couldn’t pull over without reversing, it was my right of way.

Every other car.

People coming towards you who won’t slow down to facilitate an easier passing for you or themselves.
Eg: parked cars on both sides with the odd gap a passing car can get into, car comes barrelling towards you in the middle of the road when you are already there with nowhere to go then has to slam brakes on instead of slowing down 100 yards away, enabling you to get through without them having to stop.
Why the hell do they do it?

I don’t think that’s unreasonable at all. Drivers who don’t indicate at roundabouts are at best holding up traffic and at worst putting others in danger.

When you move into the middle (or fast if you’re on a 2 lane motorway or dual carriageway) lane to let someone on from a slip road and they sit at an awkward speed making it harder for you to get back into the left lane. Just speed past (assuming it’s not an undertaking situation) or go slow enough to let me back in!

people who don’t realise the “done thing” in my village - where there’s a longish stretch of mostly single lane (as people park on one side), it’s the done thing for people going in one direction (who technically have right of way) to just give way to people coming the other direction who are past the point where it becomes a single lane. As there may or may not be space for them to pull in. But the “I technically have right of way” lot just merrily plough on leading to all sorts of issues. In fact the same happens on the other direction too where they don’t have right of way. It just needs a bit of care and checking that people no longer seem to have!

@BakersKitchen YADNBU to be very annoyed. Poor fuckers in your way can't help it though 🤣.
Mine is the buggers on a roundabout who don't bother to indicate their left turn when I'm indicating a right and, position their car so that they could be going in any direction so I'm sitting there like a lemon.

People who pull away so slowly that only a couple of cars get through a set of lights

Catching every. Single. Red. Light.

I don’t think you’re unreasonable at all! Letting one car out is nice - letting several cars out is bloody annoying for people behind. Ditto people in side roads who try to tailgate as you let the car in front of them out. I don’t think so!

I was driving behind a bloke who was letting every single car emerging from a supermarket carpark out in front of him a few weeks ago. It took some time for there to be a ‘gap’ so we could get down the short road. The lights at the end had changed several times in the meantime.

Every other road user. I'd be fine if I were the only one on the road. 🤣

I agreed with your post.

After reading some of the replies, now I know why I’m sitting there forever trying to turn out of my road on the school run.
No fucker let’s me go! Lol

Drivers who don’t know which lane to be in even when it’s written on the road for them
drivers who can’t go at a reasonable speed in a tunnel it’s a 50mph tunnel why are you doing 20 !!!!
drivers who bypass a line of traffic and just expect to force their way in at the last minute, it’s not a zip merge your lane is going straight ahead mine is turning left !!!!

to hopefully ease any fury my post about letting people out of junctions has caused 😅
I do so when traffic is flowing and it can keep moving I.e plenty of distance so that no one is stopping behind me, it’s when traffic is trundling along rather than on a 40 mph road and just slamming on to let a car out.

on the contrary my driving instructor told me I should not be causing cars to break behind me unless I’m able to signal why such as turning in a road for which I’ve started indicating for before braking

and in line with the OP - it’s because I get unreasonably annoyed when I’ve been sat waiting several minutes to turn onto a road and unreasonably feel that after a few minutes of me being at that junction, the people now not letting me go are jumping in front of me!

I made it through about 3 posts and could feel my blood boiling 😂 time to leave the thread

I do this all of the time 😳

I hit every red light possible today when running late for pick up

And i hit them by seconds because people were being so bloody slow about moving

Conversely…
Theres a big roundabout with traffic lights on my way to work. Road works further on mean traffic frequently can’t get through quick enough and block the road.
I am eternally grateful those stuck halfway round roundabout who leave a gap for traffic going across in the other direction- rather than going bumper to bumper and blocking everything.

They are on their phone

It’s a good job I only let Tom out and not dick and Harry. And only do so if it’s safe!

My most unreasonable driving rage is people letting others into a queue when I’m in a rush. I know they’re doing nothing wrong, but when I’ve already waited 2–3 light cycles, it drives me insane.

Today the car in front let 3 cars out, the lights went red and I lost another 4 minutes of my life. Completely unreasonable, but still fuming 😂

FWIW I don’t stop 😂 I’ve not explained myself well!

Learners using our road to do manoeuvres. I know I’m being unreasonable because obviously they need to learn, but there have been occasions when I encounter three on the trot as I’m going to work in the morning!
