People overtaking close to blind bends and almost taking me out as I go round the corner. Not giving way to the right on roundabouts and just continuing on to them despite others having the right of way x |

“Look at me” revving. Especially when It is some shitheap with a loud exhaust. Still bad with an genuine exotic spotscar - Lambo etc, but at least those are worthy of some attention. But some dickhead in a Fiesta revving like they are on the starting line at Silverstone is laughable. |

People that have their headlights on full tit when it's dark & they are in the distance.
As they get closer to you, you flash them to tell them "fucking 'ell you are burnin' me retinas!"
It takes them ages to glick (or it feels like that...)
Oh, and people behind you that have them on full tit! Tell me why? Street lighting not good enough you bat?

"When you're behind someone coming up to a roundabout and they take up both lanes so you don't know which way they're going "

People that dont realise that your supposed to drive AROUND the hump on a mini roundabout, not over it and certainly not cut out the concept of it being any form of roundabout at all.
Its there to keep traffic moving, not to stop everyone else so YOU can tear arse through a junction without a care in the world. |

Not doing the speed limit, so pottering along at 40 when it's safe to be doing 60 but then... Staying at 40 through a 30 limit - blow up their cars and confiscate their license. |

"Middle lane drivers on the motorway should be banned from driving until doomsday "
Ironically, the middle lane is the one I regard as the most dangerous yet those who would drive nowhere else probably regard it as their safe haven. |

The total and utter aerosols who have tuned their hot hatchbacks to go 'Phut phut bang bang whenever they touch the accelerator in places like supermarket car parks. Sound like firecrackers at Chinese New Year.
I shout 'Clever Dicky, did you put a clothes peg in your bicycle spokes when you were seven?' but so far none have heard me above their racket. |

"Fuckers who constantly speed up and slow down.
..."
Try it as a cure for being tailgated (assuming you are not being unreasonably slow).
The secret is to do it imperceptibly. Never show them you are doing it deliberately and NEVER apply the brake lights or they will know it is deliberate. Engage a lower gear instead and do it with the accelerator. After a short while they keep their distance. One of the best tricks I've ever learned from a motoring magazine!
Next best anti tailgating strategy is place yourself in front of someone pissing about with their phone or eating McDonalds at the wheel. They always leave a huge gap and are sure to help you miss the lights if you are unlucky enough to be behind them! |

I get wound up when other drivers are in the wrong and act like you’re the one who’s in the wrong. Also people who pull out on you and then look at you after they’ve done it, look before you pull out! |

What are you on about?
I'm doing 70 on motorway and the idiot in front is constantly speeding up and down. I overtake him, he overtakes me and slows down and speeds up again like a fuckwit |

People in a rush, if you are late then maybe you should have left earlier!!
Had 1 guy honk me and gesture me to go faster on a residential road on a school run as he was late, I stopped and looked him dead in my rear view and side mirror. He soon shut up. Hate bullies like that and I would have bitch smacked him.

Middle lane drivers……and those that stay in the outside lane for no reason either. |

Driving in main flow of traffic. Virihcal coming towards you stops to let something out of side road. Exspects you to stop to give way too. Or you get hit by virhical. I almost got hit by a large hgv for this reason. Got into a major argument with the hgv. Just because the other driver stopped, dose not mean I have to. The highway code is there for a reason- use it.
And others stopping and blocking box junctions on roundabouts. I'm going the other way, and you've blocked me.

There and to the left a bit |
So, you're on the motorway, legitimately passing a line of cars in the next lane that are going slower than you and you're going at the speed limit....when from behind a car appears at speed flashing its lights expecting you to pull over into the slower moving lane, often when there's no space to do so safely....
...that really gets my back up!! |

People who want to follow the speed limit should drive in middle lane so speeding cars can overtake safely. Slow drives should be with the lorries. Everybody goes home happy. |

In an ideal world yes, but we all know that doesn't happen and besides I've had it happen to me in the middle lane as well as the fast lane - plus the "fast lane" doesn't and shouldn't mean the "speeding lane" |

It's for overtaking so technically it is the speeding lane. If someone wants to go faster than you just let them go.
I hate people who drive at 70 in the overtaking lane. Some people don't want to waste their time in a car. |

Middle lane hogging is actually safer than getting in and out of lanes. |

Oh I let them go....when it is safe for me to move across a lane to let them do so!!
What irritates me is the arrogant expectation that I'll immediately clear their path because they are tailgating me flashing their lights having approached at speeds well over the speed limit.
As for going at 70 in the overtaking lane, whilst overtaking, that's the speed limit so have no issue with that.
Now if someone is in the fast lane and not overtaking and has space to move across then absolutely they shouldn't be there. |

"Arseholes that cut right down the filter Lane and cut me up…. "
They know that they can get away with it in the fairly safe knowledge that someone will be leaving a big gap because they want to fiddle with the phone etc and only glance up occasionally to see if the queue is moving,
If they can't find the gap the next best choice is probably jump in front of you, unless they have misjudged your character! |

People that pull out without looking or pedestrians that walk straight out in front of the car.
Then say "sorry I didn't see you there"
My car is Orange, how the hell can you not see it...... |
