  1. People who don't bother indicating
  2. People who drive right up your arse even though you're doing the speed limit
  3. People who drive right up your arse even though you're indicating you're turning off into a little tiny road and slowing down so that you can make the turn
NoVeggiesBeforeEggies · 09/05/2012 17:36

Tailgaters.
People who stop miiiiiiiiles before the red traffic light.
And those who don't stop at all.

FYP · 09/05/2012 17:38
  1. People who, without good reason, drive 10 mph below the speed limit
  2. People who, without good reason, slam on or slow down considerably when going past speed cameras. Made worse when the speed camera is for traffic on the other side of the road.
  3. People who, without good reason drive in the middle lane of the motorway on a seemingly permanent basis even though people are overtaking them then moving back in to the inside lane. Can't they see this happening around them?!
NoVeggiesBeforeEggies · 09/05/2012 17:38

By stop, I mean crawling along at 1/2 mile an hour, in the hope that it'll be green by the time they get there (if that makes sense!)

MaargeritaPracatan · 09/05/2012 17:40

Braking then indicating.
People not thanking you for waiting.
People slowing down to 59 on a duel carriageway with a 70 limit when they see a speed camera.

ragged · 09/05/2012 17:44

1) People who, without good reason, drive 10 mph below the speed limit

That. Usually are the same ones who speed up when they get to the 30mph zone. Confused.
That's it, really, I am pretty laid back, otherwise.

mumblechum1 · 09/05/2012 17:46
  1. Slow drivers.
  2. Indecisive drivers
  3. Slow drivers.
FartBlossom · 09/05/2012 17:48

People who stop at a roundabout even though you can see there's nothing coming for ages

People who drive miles slower than the speed limit (I failed my test for driving too slow, its classed as hesitancy - I was doing 35 in a 40)

People usually in BMWs IME who speed down down the right hand lane at the traffic lights just to get past me before it goes to single lane even though there is lots of traffic around

stargirl1701 · 09/05/2012 17:49

People who do 40 in every speed zone. Ffs. Sometimes it's 30 and sometimes it's 60,

People who brake on a corner - so dangerous in the wet. Brake before the corner, accelerate once at the limit point.

People who don't slow to 20 in school zones. Idiots.

Bunbaker · 09/05/2012 17:55

People who get into the right hand lane of a dual carriageway because they will eventually turn right in about three miles, and then hold all the traffic up.

People who drive at 40mph all the time - in a 60mph zone on a clear road and then through a village with various hazards and a 30mph limit.

People who try to overtake three cars on a bad bend in thick fog. This happened near our village recently. The car crashed head on into a car coming the other way. It was a miracle nobody was killed.

People who don't know which lane to take when approaching roundabouts.

Abzs · 09/05/2012 18:24

The people who crash into the dry stone dyke retaining wall on the S-bend near our house, then don't give their insurance details to the farmer who can't afford to repair it. Or pick up the debris. I expect the field to fall into the road next winter.

People who can't be arsed to pull out to overtake properly when I'm cycling. Not the people who do something dangerous - they can be dismissed as idiots, the ones that clearly just can't be arsed.

The HGV drivers with satnavs set to shortest route that are destroying our road.

People who don't indicate that they are leaving the roundabout at a particular exit and leave their indicator on right so you wait for them and then they turn off.

People who can't hold the bite point and consequently rev their engine and creep forward.

tb · 15/05/2012 10:21

People who-

tailgate
leave it until the last minute before forcing in where there have been signs for a lane closure for at least a mile - especially if they're in a bmw when they seem to think that they've got a God-given right to do so.

AWomanCalledHorse · 15/05/2012 10:24
  1. Mobile phones.
  2. Tailgating wankers.
  3. People who break to go over speed humps, esp. if they're only going 20mph to begin with!! Gaaaaaaah!!
perceptionreality · 15/05/2012 10:26

There are some really annoying people who think they can drive any speed they like up to the speed limit. It's so bloody irritating when people drive at 20 in a 30. Or 40 on a dual carriage way.

thestringcheesemassacre · 15/05/2012 10:28

Speeders, especially through school areas.
Bad parking (does that count??)
Tailgaters and light flashers.

jaquelinehyde · 15/05/2012 10:28
  1. People who don't drive to the roads conditions. The speed limit is the maximum you are allowed to do not a bloody requirement!
  2. People who don't indicate .
  3. Tailgating tosspots.
millpond · 15/05/2012 10:33

tailgaters
people who don't indicate

VairpreshusFB · 15/05/2012 10:35

Indicating wrong, as bad as not indicating imo
Mono speeders, go everywhere at the same speed, usually way below/above the limit.
Swervy drivers, make me nervous when I am driving behind, make me slow down, which pissed people behind me off, but don't want to keep up with them incase they have an accident.

VairpreshusFB · 15/05/2012 10:36

Oh and bastard litter bugs that throw toubbish out of their car windows, grrrrr

VairpreshusFB · 15/05/2012 10:37

^^ rubbish

tightwad · 15/05/2012 10:37
  1. those who are far too important to indicate.

  2. those who are unable to use roundabouts properly and cut you up then glare at you...they are in the wrong fucking lane

  3. those who slow down to about 2mph to turn a perfectly clear corner slowing all traffic behind for no good fucking reason.

tightwad · 15/05/2012 10:39

Oh and
4) young boys speeding as fast and loudly as they can....up the road where a school is (or anywhere come to it.

  1. people on mobiles while driving

  2. People who pull into a parking spot in front of you...then indicate.

lovelychops · 15/05/2012 10:41

Idiots who stay in the middle lane on the motorway.... drives me mad. Really think a lot of drivers need a refresher course or at very least motorway lessons.

Oh, and people on their phones drives me insane!

bibbitybobbitybunny · 15/05/2012 10:41
  1. Twats on mobile phones, absolutely.
  2. People who do not use their indicators.
  3. Anyone (other than a lorry) driving at less than 60mph on the motorway.
treefumaster · 15/05/2012 10:41

people who beep because they don't know why I am driving slowly (I'm in charge of how I drive and until you can see what I can see you can shut up)

people who turn right into a small road and cut the corner of the road so veer into the wrong lane of the small road

people who drive at 30mph because it's a 30mph area despite the children, parked cars, pedestrians, bicycles, deliveries...
