Things that make you go AAARRGGG in your car beep beep

[jobey]

Things that drive me mad are

1. people not indicating at mini round abouts. 2.People that park so close next to me that I can't get my baby in her car seat unless I climb through the other side. 3.People who park in parent and baby space's who's children are about 12.
2. me with P.M.T don't know why it affect's my car's prformance.Nothing to do with me of course

Jobey - My major bugbear is people not indicating properly (if at all) at roundabouts it makes me seethe!! Also, tailgating, usually done by a twentysomething bloke in a white van!!!

I get "driven" mad by people talking on their mobiles while driving. You can always spot them -they're the ones swerving all over the road, not indicating, leaving the indicator on etc. etc.

People driving too slowly.
Purple-rinse brigade drivers.
Sunday drivers!!

PandaBear I forgot the purple rinse brigade they are never in accidents but have seen lots in their mirrors.Do you think we will turn into them or are they a bred from outer space.And why do old men drivers have to wear hats inside their cars? Or have them displayed on the parcel shelf along with a box of tissues.

jobey & nutjob, my bugbear is the people who are so busy indicating this way & that on the roundabout, that they drive really slowly!
Also people who think it's ok to get into the left hand lane & just indicate they're going right. AAARRRGGHHH! Why do they think there is more than 1 lane?!
My real real bugbear is people who drive at 40 mph for mile after mile when you can't overtake, then as soon as it's safe they do 70 mph as you try to get round them.

People who have their fog lights on at the merest hinf of mist! And then never turn the damn things off!

Come on though Tallulah, you must have had it were your sitting at a roundabout and the bloke (it's always a bloke isn't it?!!) to your right isn't indicating so you wait and then they turn left - aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhh

Followed a woman (sorry but she was) doing 20 mph on a main road. She drifted to the middle of the road, signalling left, then cancelled the signal, drifted left, slowed to 15 mph, drifted right again and indicated rght, then cancelled that signal and straddled the lanes at about 17 mph. Finally I shouted 'WHAT are you DOING?'.

And from the baby seat behind me I heard a little voice say 'I'm sucking my thumb'.

eemie! That gave me a laugh!

Dh telling me 'that must be a woman driving' when the car driver in front does something stupid. Unfortunately, he is usually right.

I hate people who drive up your a**e in a thirty limit, trying to make you go faster. I used to be a bit of a speed merchant until I got caught doing 49 in a 30 limit (pre-ds), and got three points and a fine. Since then, I have TRIED to stick to the limit, and since ds, I always do. One man yesterday did not take the hint, even when I slowed right down and then pulled away again.

old people!

Yes, Chinchilla, I agree - bloody a clingers are sooo annoying. If I didn't have dd in the back, I'd slam on my brakes, then they could
well and truly drive up my a!!!

teenagers with loud speakers and alloy wheels and flashing lights - neone ones that pulse to the music with loud exhaiusts who rev at the lights and who insist on putting spoilers on cars that really dont warrent it

women drivers - you really are pathetic i often find myself sayin " c'mon darlin its not that dificult you could get a fkin truck through there"

speed cameras

speed humps which are usually ( not always) put on social housing estates, i mean please when you steal a car you speed down a county lane not outside your own house - if your mum sees you you might have to go in cos its dark.

cyclists - i pay tax for the bloody road - they dont - get off my bloody road - saying that, i recently got a bike and love going cycling with the family - would like more cycle paths
whats with the cyling shorts?? - very very very very few people can pull that off - get some strides on man your making me ill

motorbikes - bloody killing machines riden by bloody nutters usually fat in leather suits going down the middle of a traffic jam they only just fit - not because the size of the bike but the size of the rider - so they can speed of as the lights turn yellow - bloody motorbikes - can your exhaust BE any louder bloody fashion faux pas at 100MPH

lorries, stay in one lane for goodness sake, you indicate with the ethos " am coming out and am bigger that you so moooooove" it should be illegal for you to overtake going uphill
it should be illegal for you to overtake on a 3 lane motorway
how about tying your load on properlly tarpaulins wagglin all over the place
how about those people (MEN)who usually drive cars and decide to drive little white trucks for the day for whatever reason - believing they are still in a car waggle all over the motorway becuase its windy and burn the engine by going the top speed of 75 MPH in the middle lane

anyone with a soft top ( jealousy)

anyone with a mercedes soft top (same)

anyone in a sports car - really dear, unless you are 21 years old blonde with long legs and female you cant pull it off - any man in a sports car is a show off twot and we dont look at you on purpose - i really do instruct my kids not to look - cos thats what they want - twots

and old people

sorry am on one again

i forgot

someone coming up your arse when your in the ouside lane doing an illegal speed and then flash their lights cos they want to go faster - always men

mini rounda bouts - you JUST know when the council has an underspend - bloody mini roundabouts pop up in places where rounda bouts are not needed if a road has 4 exits its a bloody junction you bloody nutters - if its a busy junction it doesnt need a mini roundabout it needs a proper one or put up a give way sign
if it has three exits it doesnt warrent a mini roundabout
in fact thinking about it - nothing warrents a mini roundabout am going to start an anti mini roundabout campaign - there is no need - ol people get confused at them women stop and wonder what to do - look to your right darlin' for fks sake!

rid our country of the blight that is mini roundabouts. the problem either warrents a proper rounda bout or a junction you bloody nutters get your bloody council accountants to do a better job you bloody shirt and tie wearing bloody idiots

i havent even got PMT - i just drive a lot for my job!

eemie - bit late to add this but you really made me laugh!

custdy, you always make me laugh.

I'm with Tinker, people with fog lights on when you can see to the next county make me sooo mad.

Oh, and men (it's always a man) who have to overtake you back when they see you go past them in your little hatchback on the motorway.

And why are cars going 25mph in a 60 limit always driven by some old dear in a Mini Metro, or an old guy with a tweedy hat in an immaculate 10yr old Rover?

custardo - have you noticed that the people "coming up your arse when your in the ouside lane doing an illegal speed and then flash their lights cos they want to go faster" are not only always men but 95% of the time they're driving BMW's?

My bugbear is the people who ignore the merge into one lane signs, and scream past the queue, then slam their brakes on at the last moment and expect to be able to shove their way in at the front. And who then make rude gestures at you if you don't let them.

Custardo - I hate 'White Van Man' too. What is it about an Escort van in white?

As jobey said, another one is people who park in P & T spaces. I feel like breaking their legs - then they could use a disabled space

People who won't let you out of a road, even when they are stuck in a queue themselves. If you aren't going anywhere anyway, why not let someone else in front of you? It's that perennial outlook of 'I've got to get there first, sod everyone else.'

People who see that you are going into a space, and drive in there first, even though you were indicating.

People who pull round a car when you are coming towards them, even though it is your right of way.

Custardo, where do you live? Hope I don't meet you on the road! Agree about mini roundabouts. Ban them now! Or at least make people learn how to use them.

Lorry/tractor drivers doing 20 mph on bendy roads with 300 cars behind them not pulling over to let people pass.

People who don't park properly, ie, straddling lines in car park. Men with vans who can't be bothered to park properly so park diagonally across 3 spaces.

Lorries overtaking other lorries, eg, lorry A does 61 mph in order to overtake lorry B which is doing 60.5 mph.

Worse than people with fog lights on when not foggy are people driving in thick fog with NO LIGHTS.

My driving is perfect, of course.

Um - sorry, but disagree about mini roundabouts. The people who don't know how to use them don't know how to use big roundabouts either and should have their driving licences withdrawn and Zimmer frames issued immediately.

T-junctions it is impossible to get out of, unless someone lets you, need mini roundabouts. One near me has just been converted and it is a joy to drive through now. Everybody gets a go. Don't understand the problem.

more annoying things I have seen and have reminded me through the week parents that don't make their children wear seatbelt's I think it's crazy .Also where ever you go there seems to be families in beat up old vans all sitting along the front seats with babies and toddlers on there laps aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrggggggggggggg I wish I was a copper sometimes.

Jobey, I can't understand people who don't strap in their children either. If you gave them a fragile glass vase and said it was worth £20,000 they wouldn't have it rolling around on the back seat would they, so why let their precious children do it? Totally mad.
