Drivers who don’t say “thanks” when you’ve stopped and given way; allowed them to pull across into your lane; stopped to let them pull out etc. especially where you have the ROW.

People who don't indicate and just swing around the lanes on a motorway. So bloody dangerous.
Middle lane hoggers. Move the fuck over if you aren't actually overtaking!

Arseholes in Chelsea tractors on narrow lanes that won’t get over, they tend to move out my way when I’m heading at them in my old orange 130 defender (yes! yes that’s right, it’s orange!)

Non indicators, teenage chav corsa drivers with big exhausts and a 4000 watt in car system worth £2500 when the car cost 250 from the scrappy middle lane hogs, people who undertake on the mway - come on at a junction then just blast up the inside and cop across you people with headlights brighter than the sun who don’t know how to dip them or just don’t people who don’t slow down for horses… I haven’t even had my Coffee yet  |

Middle lane zombies who just sit in the middle lane and pay no attention to the road.
People who won't let you out of a side road when they're in a slow moving queue of traffic and it makes next to no difference to how quickly they'll get to where they want to go.
People who vary their speed dramatically for no reason.
People who dangerously overtake learner drivers for no reason other than them being a learner.
People who increase their speed by 10+ mph when you go to overtake like its some kind of insult to their ego if you get past. |

People who undertake me when I’m quietly tootling along in the middle lane in my Nissan micra at 63mph listening to take that’s greatest hits.
Use the outside lane you morons. |

This pisses me off too. Literally all they have to do is lift one finger off the steering wheel in acknowledgement! |

So many things!
But lately it’s like folk have forgotten how to bloody drive!
People exiting or entering junctions without looking for oncoming traffic is the latest bug bear.
I’ve seen overtaking on bends too or overtaking when there is oncoming traffic and a narrow margin for that person to pull in.
All accidents waiting to happen. |

Diagonally Parked in a Parallel Universe |
The idiot on the A1 last night. Joined the road just ahead of me, indicated right and moved into the outside lane and sat there, overtaking nothing as we were the only 2 cars on the road. He was going slightly slower than me and as I don't undertake I had to slow down when I caught him up. He then sped up, cut in front of me and took the next exit.
He wasn't a middle lane hogger as it's a 2 lane carriageway. He was in a faulty BMW though, as his indicators worked! |

( Mr) Not using indicators when leaving the exit , you’re sat there wondering if they’re continuing or turning off , sometimes I could just chase them down and educate the driver with my forehead |

How long have you got?
-Excessive speeding.
-Acting like you're in a F1 race.
-Using a mobile phone.
-Not saying thank you when you let people pass.
-When drivers don't let you pass even though they could've and then causing you to reverse because you're both now stuck.
-When cars overtake a parked bus on the opposite lane, and coming into your lane without looking.
-Boy racers with their extremely loud (and illegal) exhausts.
-Tailgating.

As many have said. Incorrect use/lack of use of indicators. At a roundabout, indicating when you get to the roundabout does my nut. Indicating halfway round the roundabout doesn’t really help when I think they are going to go straight on.
Give plenty of notice of which way you are going so that traffic runs smoothly and safe.  |

Motorbikes:
riding dead centre behind my van so I can’t see them.
Or close to my rear corner so I’m expecting them to overtake but they just don’t so I’m driving closer to the curb to make it easier for ages. Then they overtake on a left hand bend with a truck coming the other way.

Two things:
1. When drivers are unsure of where they are going, so they are going really slowly and being hesitant as they approach a turn, unsure if it's the right one. It really slows me down when I want to get somewhere. I get very impatient. Other people use the roads too!
2. People who get impatient with me when I don't know the area and I'm hesitant about which turn to make. We can't all know the area as well as the locals. Other people use the roads too! |

People who complain about speeders in the outside lane of a motorway.
It’s a motorway. 100mph is really not that fast on a clear, well maintained road that is meant for speed.
It’s other drivers who don’t obey simple rules that cause the problem, such as indicating immediately before pulling out. Even then, modern brakes and tyres are more than capable of handling rather sudden slowdowns to cater for them.
I drive at 110mph in Germany, where allowed, and have not had any problems in 30 years because they know the rules and give allowance to the ‘speeders’.
Yes, I know there is a 70mph limit here. I’m simply saying I wish people would stop complaining about it because it really isn’t justified by my experience. |

Yep, pretty much covers it. People who drive black Audis are extra special tosspots. |

Hate slow drivers, at least do the speed limit for the road |

It’s a limit, not a target. Said nobody ever. |

Lots of things get on my tits but the one thing that really gets me, and it's mainly an annoyed disappointment, people are more selfish now than when I started driving. Hardly anybody let's you out, even when they're supposed to. If everyone was more patient and kinder to each other we'd all be better off. |

Something I encounter daily: blind bend overtaking. I've nearly been in so many serious accidents because idiots can't wait for a clear bit of road to get to their destination thirty seconds earlier

One I experience a lot is people not giving way to the right on a roundabout.
People who see the person in front of you turning, so decide to pull out and you slam on
People not giving way at a give way
Tailgating
Not indicating

Living in a rural area, there are so many people that just slam their brakes on when a car comes towards them on a country lane...I'm not talking about the single track roads, they do it on the ones that are perfectly wide enough for two vehicles |
