Pet Hates On The Road?

[RabbitsRock]

So many people seem to drive like morons! Speeding, not indicating, not thanking you for waiting ( I always mouth “ You’re Welcome”!), going across roundabouts or on the wrong side etc etc. What gets to you the most?

There's often no happy medium on those roads - you get people either doing 70 or 40, but not a sensible 50-60.

Yes!

Middle lane drivers.

People not indicating.

People who stop dead in the middle of the road at a junctio in their cars to have a chat with another person in another vehicle on the opposite side of the road with their windows down.

I was behind someone who did this recently and I thought they’d have the decency to move once they realised I had drove up behind them. Nope. I had to then move right up to their car’s behind to get them to take the hint that they need to move and not block the whole road just to chat to their pal In another car .

Twats who, when turning right, cut the fucking corner. No need, and most of the time they don't have a clue what's happening further up the road they are entering. Entitled wankers.

Can you tell I've been hit by one of them?

When cars entering a roundabout do not bother indicating left whilst you’re sat waiting to get onto it at the next exit. By the time you realise they are going left and not straight, the gap has gone and you have to keep waiting. I give them two fingers occasionally, sometimes they see it and you get some funny shocked or angry reactions.

Aston Martins which, when they stop, disgorge a driver who is around about 70 and can hardly get out of the car without a winch (it should be illegal to drive one unless you look like Daniel Craig).

The bright spark who has set up the temporary traffic lights in my town. Clearly never used the road they're on. So it's 3 way traffic lights and then a mini roundabout close together so traffic in one direction is really bad because it has to give way to the roundabout also

Which leads me to local council who decides all road works should take place in the summer when the roads are already super busy

People who over take two cars at a time on country lanes

That reminds me - people who decide to stop in front of me in a car park and get annoyed if I signal that I'd like to come out (usually at the railway station, they think I can wait until their person comes off the train, even though I am ready to go).

They always schedule them for the school holidays because apparently nobody works for six weeks! I mean, I do get the point that the roads are quieter at certain times, but still.

Also people who overtake bikes when I am coming towards them. I am apparently meant to disappear.

People who sit in the middle of mini roundabouts when their exit is not clear and stuff it up for everyone else.

People on roads where parked cars makes passing tricky who are incapable of thinking ahead and end up making everyone wait whilst they, and the car(s) coming in the opposite direction have a stupid stand off because they couldn't be bothered to wait for 10 seconds a bit further up the road.

PEOPLE WHO STOP IN THE YELLOW FUCKING BOX

People who don't just MOVE THE FUCK OVER! Seriously some people seem to have no idea how big (small) their cars are.

Delivery drivers driving down quiet residential streets like they are on the motorway and then mounting the kerb because they can't be bothered to give way. Bloody dangerous.

Fast / overtaking lane hoggers. We go to Cornwall regularly and this summer had the worst journey ever due to sooo many people sitting in the outside lane refusing to move over, driving slowly. (No, we weren’t speeding, before anyone asks!)

The twatbags with Big Car Syndrome. When it's just me, I drive a Fiat 500 and people cannot sit behind me. They will overtake me when I'm doing 70 and sit in front of me doing 65. Or they'll glance right at a junction and see it's only a little car and pull out in front of me so I have to slam on my brakes, despite the long empty road behind me. Never, ever happens in DH's significantly bigger car. I drive in the same way, to the speed limit and conditions but men - and it's always men - simply cannot sit behind a small car lest their penises spontaneously detach and fly out the window.

Space invaders. And the motorcyclist today who couldn't wait like the rest of us so used the cycle lane to jump the queue. Oh and people who out crap ( fuel) in their car, therefore the stench out if there exhaust comes into my car and makes me cough.

People who drive TOO CLOSE!! Especially at speed.

Lorry drivers at a busy around about near us who 9 times out of 10 dont stop at the line but carry on gaily forcing the car already on the roundabout to slam their brakes on to avoid a collision. I’m not exaggerating. I use that roundabout a lot and I counted the occasions for 2 weeks once (yes I know I should get a life). The lorries are going from 9 to 3 on the clock face and Im going from 6 to 12. Grr!
At the same roundabout, when Im in the right hand lane as the road markings require and the person in the left lane decides at the last minute that s/he wants to go my way and pulls into my lane in front of me without checking if Im there.

Autistic brain decoded thread title as 'Doberman won't read Kerouac'.

Proper answer - men who get annoyed because I don't exceed the speed limit in areas where there are speed cameras.

Ooh ooh, I have a list..

People who constantly ride their brakes going down hill - just change gear!
People who drive the normal speed limit, then brake and crawl slowly round a corner, usually with me behind shouting "Turn the fucking thing then!!!"
People who don't know the width of the vehicle they're driving, usually with me behind, shouting "you can get a fucking bus through there!!!"
People who brake for speed cameras, when they're actually doing 15 mph below the speed limit anyway!
And finally, people who panic, brake and wait to see what the left and straight on drivers are doing, at what I term as, "birdshit" mini roundabouts... It's the same as any other fucking roundabout, just crack on!!!
I've been driving 33 years, never had a ticket or an accident and I drive correctly, to the speed limit everywhere... Well, that's not that true, I do like a blast along quiet stretches of motorway when no-one is looking... 😁😁😁
Just drive properly folks and you won't get my dander up!!! As for the MN's that have mentioned stopping in the road and chatting car to car, you don't live in Bradford do you?! This happened to me a lot in the year I lived there... I won't go into the names I was called when I blasted my horn to get them to move every time it happened... Suffice to say, if I'd have been doing the name calling, I'd have been up on rascism charges! 🤬🤬🤬
