What bugs you about other drivers?
For me it's people going super slow and nowhere near the speed limit. Or someone that turns without indicating or people that cut you up.
What about thee? |

Incorrect use of the motorway lanes i.e. Middle lane hoggers!!! Pull out overtake and pull back in!! Dont they know it's them causing the motorways to slow and eventually causing it to stop for no apparent reason!!
Rant over!! |

Drivers who keep their foot on the brake when stuck in queues at traffic lights etc although, at night, I've be found they soon put the hand brake on instead when I'm behind with full beam on? |

Roundabouts - let's all stop ...then when I go ..they all bloody go ..
Middle Lane hoggers.
Parents who still smoke in their cars with children.
Slow , ridiculously slow drivers...like 30 in a 50 ...come on! ...
Other than that I like driving. Take me back to Germany any day. |

Absolutely the ultimate thing that boils my piss at the moment are people who have an almost complete fucking inability to enter a motorway at speed.
And by "at speed" I mean, they need to consider the rest of us are going at 70MPH (at least) and some moron is DOING 35mph to enter making me either:
1. Slam my brakes on at 70MPH (at least) but for legal purposes you never know who's reading - 70mph MAX.
or
2. Have to violently swerve across lanes.
Those people are fucking idiots and should do a Pass-plus.

Arrogant twats who drive right up my arse and worse, flash me, when I'm in the fast lane - even though I'm travelling faster than the middle lane, and there isn't any space for me to move over ... like, where the heck am I supposed to go?
People who crawl past speed cameras at around 15mph *less* than the prevailing speed limit 'just in case' ... of what, I'm not sure.
Stupid idiots who drive far too close and too fast around horse riders - because spooking a horse with catastrophic consequences is of course preferable to a one or two minute delay.
People who think know they must stop *dead* at every give way sign, even though the angle of the road allows them to see it's clear to proceed.
Drivers who enter box junctions though they can't get through and end up blocking traffic from other directions. |

Inappropriate use of all the "overtaking lanes" on the motorway, I've almost given up moving out to go past people on the M25.
Last minute exiting from the motorways
Fog lights on all the time
Daytime driving lights they are to bright
Incorrectly adjusted lights
Inability to enter and use a roundabout correctly
People believing we should all drive at the speed 'limit' I drive to the road conditions and my vehicle.
Not using the rear view mirror to see an emergency vehicle is trying to get past!

I trust you mean ... move over to lane 1? Otherwise you're (and by you're I mean the person doing it) just a middle lane wanker and the sole responsibility for tail backs!!!
That's right people, getting in the god damn first lane that's where you should be when not overtaking.
As you may gather this is what boils me with other road users, a complete ineptitude to be able to drive using the Highway Code ...
Indicators ... they weren't an optional extra!
Those road markings generally mean give way at a junction so give way not then shout at the person you nearly hit!

Incorrect lane use left lane unless overtaking, appropriate lane at junctions, read the signs, it is pretty obvious.
Indecisive ditherers, I can be polite, but if you dither, I have a job to do, I won't wait forever.
Stopping when an ambulance approaches. So many times they get held up by people panicking. Think about what impedes them the least, and do it.

Idoits who see L plates on a car and think they can overtake on solid white lines. Tailgate. Intimidating the driver flashing headlights, I assume these Idoits never learnt to drive on L plates. We have leave them on even when I'm driving because my daughter car is on learner's insurance. I'm named driver. They try it when I'm driving they have a shock. We now have a camera in car to report said Idoits. Marie x |

These days, just plain inconsideration to others... I'm no angel myself and about a million miles away from perfect but common courtesy goes a long way, being a complete wanker doesn't!
Roundabouts, traffic lights, junctions, speeding (not speeding!), parking, the list is endless but it all boils down to common courtesy. |

Not turning their main beam off at night as you approach and driving with their main beam on during the day or having fog lights on when it's not foggy.
Not signalling at roundabouts, driving at 40mph everywhere regardless of the speed limit, failing to park in the middle of a spot in a public car park and parking so close that i struggle to get out.
I'm sure there's more but that'll do for now. |

Grrrr back at you. Its a speed LIMIT not the speed you should necessarily drive at. I live along a country road whers the limit is 60... its single track with occasional passing places. No way is 60 a good idea. |

Audi, bmw and Mercedes drivers, as they seem to think the highway code doesnt apply to them.
Car drivers when sitting in traffic, move over to block a cyclist/biker.
Fuckwits who don't give consideration to other road users, a little kindness goes a long way.
Tailgaters, I have a stainless steel bumper and steel exhaust pipes. They will do more damage to your car than mine, when you can't stop in an emergency.
Speeders, the limit is there for a reason.
Idiots who still use a device whilst driving, hopefully they get caught before they cause an accident.
Drivers that pull out in front of me, again I have stainless steel bumper in case I don't stop in time.
Drivers who seem to think that my braking area, is a gap for them. Then decide to tap their brakes to get me to back off, not the best idea really. |

Or you shouldn't be doing 70 mph plus in the inside lane immediately before the joining traffic, 70 mph is the limit, not the compulsory speed |

Appalling driving "skills" which we all see on a daily basis.
Can be old, young, male or female.
Just amazes me, how those shit for brains, fuckwits, managed to pass a driving test.
DVLA should require every driver, no matter their age, to be re tested, every 5 years, after they've passed their first test.
The other thing they should do, is an absolute NO EXCUSES, whatsoever, the second you get 12 points, you're automatically banned.
It wouldn't fix everything, but it would help!

As a pedestrian I hate drivers who dont indicate, when im trying to cross by a roundabout or crossing with no lights guess what I an not psychic I dont know which way you are going!
Drivers that dont stop on pelican/zebra crossings.
Drivers using their phones and being distracted
Drivers who dont slow down when its raining - if its safe for you to slow down or go around a puddle then do so
Drivers who for some god forsaken reason when there is heavy traffic think its fine to push that few feet ahead and put their car over a pedestrian crossing.. where do you want me to walk? Through your back seat? Over the bonnet?

One of the latest trends (for want of a better word) is those people who don't seem to know where the front of their car is.
You know the ones, those who sit halfway across the 'Stop' line at traffic lights etc, or come halfway out of a side road before coming to a stop and thereby causing you to take emergency avoiding action.
Or how about those people are so impatient that they that pull out in front of you (causing you to slow down - which incidentally would be a driving test failure) and then dawdle along rather than getting up to speed. Ironically, they delay you on your journey rather than wait just a few seconds to drive safely. |

To be fair if you pull out to overtake or let someone join the M4 at Junctions 1 to 3 you often don't get a gap to pull back into until junction 10. If traffic was light enough to only use the middle lane for overtaking then 3 lanes would not need to exist.
A lot of the replies show intolerance of other drivers, that intolerance probably causes more accidents on the road than some drivers not adhering rigidly to the rules. |

According to BHS figures, in the 5 years leading up to 24th March 2016, there were over 2000 incidents involving horses on our roads. Of these there were 36 riders and 181 horses killed.
For fucks sake, slow down, pass wide and stay calm. |

Thought about it long and hard if the 3 cars are on cruise control set to exactly 70mph, car is on the motorway pulls out to allow car b to join from a slip road, then both pull out at the next slip road for car c, then the cruise control keeps them all at the same speed next to each other...
Then I thought about it short and soft, figu_ed car b has an orgy going on in the back seat and passengers of cars a and c are enjoying watching it, of course all drivers are paying full attention to driving |
