In Hannah's case, just about everything. She's a bit road-ragey.
On thing that annoys her is somebody in front getting to the end of the road and intends to turn in the opposite direction to her at a T-junction and they don't go far enough over to let her get past them. |

Sitting on my arse when I’m overtaking at the speed limit on a dual carriageway.
Bad parking.
Middle lane hoggers.
Phone-users.
Full-beam abusers.
And Corsas/Fiestas etc with monstrous exhausts popping and burbling away as they ‘speed off’ into the distance at a very moderate pace. |

Drivers who haven't educated themselves on how to properly use dual carriageways and motorways, especially when joining from the slip road. The give way markings are there for a reason. It is not the responsibility of drivers on the main carriageway to give way to those joining. Drivers on the main carriageway have the right of way. It is the responsibility of those joining the main carriageway to 'give way' and adjust their speed and position such that they don't cause other drivers to have to take avoiding action.

People with the fastest cars, drive the slowest.
No indicating.
Random brakers.
But the one that really fucks me off is, they still haven’t installed my lane all over the country, my own lane that no one else is allowed to drive in.

Definitely other drivers who insist on driving 30 in a 40, 30 when it’s 60.
Have awareness for the roads as more than likely you’re the cause of accidents thinking you are being safe driving at 30 in every scenario.

On a 4 lane motorway, the halfwits who sit in lane 3 permanently, even when lanes 1 & 2 are totally empty…. 
And people who have zero understanding of the width of their car or are so arrogant that they refuse to drive in their half of the road and are happy to push oncoming drivers onto the bushes or worse.

Tractors. I mean I know they have to use the roads but can’t they give them a bit more ooomph to get them to their next field a bit bloody quicker!
Folk who ride your arse when you’re in an area renowned for speed cameras and you’re doing your best to observe the speed limit. Back off buddy!!! |

Hope they mean when one lane is like a left turn and people are queuing and someone just goes down the next lane and pushes in at the front to turn left.
If it’s two into one your supposed to use both lanes and “zip” togeather in a 1 and 1 style |

Muppets who don't understand the concept of zip-merging and think anybody who uses the empty lane up to the merge point is a queue jumper.
Especially the road captains who move over to try and block the lane |

This isn't so much about driving more the end result. My neighbour parks his work van at 45° on the corner of our street. There are loads of kids playing on bikes & scooters or just playing as kids should. He will cause an accident some day as we won't see the kids or oncoming traffic.
He has more than enough room on his runway to park the bloody van. |

People who park and open doors on the traffic side in order to eg.load or unload children into the flow of traffic.Seems these cars don't have doors on the pavement side.

Got to admit Op our road tax pays for pot holes, Kent roads, no tar on some, lots of big holes that damage wheels or suspension.
Speed is just an indication of max limit. I drive to what is in front of me, yes, slow or dangerous over takers.
Cyclists on phone not holding on bars of the cycle.
Blue badge holders.. Obstructing yes, I am aware they can park anywhere but should be parking just like anyone else with respect...
Cars back exhaust on fire chucking out fire or black smoke causing a fog
I have drivven on the motorway it is a long stretch, overtakers when told to stay in lane or ones up my rear  |

I think looking at the above, and thinking about my own experiences. It basically comes down to being considerate of other road users.
So few actually think about the other people around them, most simply treat our roads like they are entirely for their convenience... |

If you have two kids and two car seats, you will need to open both doors to at least ensure the fastenings are correct.
It's not always practical or possible to lean right across the back seat to do this. |

No, roads are paid for out of general taxation.
Road tax was abolished in the 1937. Not a recent change.
Currently we have VED which is emissions based and not directly linked to road maintenance. |

Middle lane sitting. I do this if I am generally faster than the outer lane. Therefore I would be often changing lanes. If the outer lane looks clear for a while I will move over. I am generally going the speed limit so if you need to over take you are speeding. If the person in the middle lane is doing 60 then I feel your pain. |

I drive about 30k miles annually due to my job and what frustrates me is when someone does something which is wrong, whether it be a simple mistake or something blatantly dangerous and you flash or use your horn, you are subject to their road rage.

I do about the same sort of mileage.That experience is all to familiar.Best thing is to laugh at their response,it really winds them up.But if it's a liveried vehicle and it was dangerous I've started reporting them to their firm. |

Nope. That was recently changed. From the Highway Code (rule 66)
“be considerate of the needs of other road users when riding in groups. You can ride two abreast and it can be safer to do so, particularly in larger groups or when accompanying children or less experienced riders. Be aware of drivers behind you and allow them to overtake (for example, by moving into single file or stopping) when you feel it is safe to let them do so” |

Pedestrians who press the crossing button then cross when there is a gap in the traffic so when the lights turn red there is no one to cross. Motorists (and cyclists are supposed to) have to stop at a red light so if a Pedestrian pushes the button they should have to wait til the man goes green!!!!! |

Exactly this. The worst is the moron who tries to block both lanes because they think that they are queue jumping or the moron who refuses to let people merge correctly. |

Taxi drivers who think they are the 4th emergency service and red lights don't apply to them.
Seems the police think this has well. Twice recently been behind a police vehicle at a traffic lights, when a taxi has jumped red lights going across us and our lights are starting to change to Amber. Both times the actions have been ignored.
Also the food delivery drivers whizzing about cutting everybody up in city centres. |

You can overtake on the left, provided you aren't changing lane to do so.
For example, if you're tootling along on the inside lane and another vehicle insists on hogging the outside lane you can just undertake them with no consequence.
You cannot change from outside to inside just to pass them though.

Totally agree, it's very annoying and it is now an offence. I hate it when I come up behind one of those drivers in the middle lane when I'm towing our caravan; I "shouldn't" overtake on the inside and I definitely should not use lane 3 when towing. I hope those drivers can lip read. |

People not confident enough on the road. Like I get hesitation as it's always better to be safe than sorry but it really gets on my nerves when people are just casually doing 40/50mph on the motorway. I honestly wish it was a criminal offense to drive too slow as it's a hazard and a nuisance.
On the topic of motorways, the other lanes are for overtaking, however many people just kinda chill in the middle and outside lanes with no effort to overtake at all for a considerable amount of time. |

Not merging from a queue , there’s 2 lanes for a reason , merge , it’s perfectly reasonable and acceptable
Oh god there’s loads but I’ll stop there and take a deep breath
Middle lane sitting. I do this if I am generally faster than the outer lane. Therefore I would be often changing lanes. If the outer lane looks clear for a while I will move over. I am generally going the speed limit so if you need to over take you are speeding. If the person in the middle lane is doing 60 then I feel your pain.
It doesn’t matter what your speed is, drive left. Overtake right.
You can overtake on the left, provided you aren't changing lane to do so.
For example, if you're tootling along on the inside lane and another vehicle insists on hogging the outside lane you can just undertake them with no consequence.
You cannot change from outside to inside just to pass them though.

This is true, however the problem wouldn’t exist if they followed the first rule of driving I.e drive left, overtake right.

Very few people seem to possess the ability to overtake nowadays other than on a motorway or dual carriageway. Result is a queue of traffic bumbling along behind the slow driver at the front.
Got to laugh at their flashing lights and outrage when someone actually passes them. |
