Middle lane hoggers and people driving 20mph below the speed limit

Ahhhh! Just that really. Been on a long drive for work today and the amount of people who sit in the middle lane when the left hand lane is empty is so annoying.
Also people who drive at 40 on a straight 60 road but then carry on driving at 40 when the speed limit is 30!
These are all things I was taught not to do on my driving lessons. Am I alone?

Is there anything else other drivers do that irritate you?

Other drivers drive on MY road.
This is deeply irritating

Happens all the time here.

I’m the queen of overtaking.

Naming and shaming repeat offenders on local Facebook hubs (with dash cam footage) sometimes works.

Hell yes!

I'll start with people who think they're too important/clever to queue and nip up the closed/left/right turn lane and then try to push back in... fuck OFF!

WeWere0nABreak · 09/05/2018 20:37

I'll also whisper "cyclists" and then run...!

Driving too slowly is dangerous - but you ought, too, to be able to cope with slow drivers, or it is you who is a bad driver.

That said, my personal hate is people don't realise that the national speed limit on a dual carriageway is 70, not 60. Especially those who brake sharply at the sight of speed camera signs when they are already doing 65!

@BreakfastAtSquiffanys do you have a private drive? My ex in laws always had people driving up their drive to turn around, and staring in the garden. They found it so annoying

Middle lane hoggers drive me mad.

People who don’t indicate - especially on a roundabout. Or even worse indicate wrong on a roundabout

When there’s 2 lanes that merge and the drivers in the left hand lane get annoyed and don’t let the right hand line drivers in at the bottleneck. I just don’t get it. It helps to cut down the length of traffic!

@LRDtheFeministDragon I can cope with them don't get me wrong they just annoy me, the one today sped away from me when I slowed down to 30 when I reached a village only to catch up with them again when the road was 60 again. 🤦🏼‍♀️
