Loads of drivers just don’t seem to indicate, not sure if it’s the heat getting to people or they just can’t be bothered. |

People who don’t insicate
People who drive in the middle or fast lane and just do not change lane for miles
People who have no confidence and drive 28mph on country roads that you can easily do 50 on
People looking at their phones and swerve around, drive slowly then suddenly accelerate then slow down again every time they look at it
People who wait at the end of a road where cars are parked on one side (half on pavement) because they think both if you can’t drive past eachother at the same time, even if you just drove past a bus and still had space
No honestly I could go on for ages… |

Not indicating driving too slow in a 30. Letting people out of a side road. People travelling too close. Stopped at a pedestrian crossing the idiot behind me very nearly didn't. People looking at there phones. Sorry ex truck driver. |

Not acknowledging when you let someone out or through which unfortunately seems to be more often than not these days
Also not indicating left at the roundabout causing you to stop for nothing

Poor lane discipline, swapping from lane to lane on traffic islands, not reading the signs on the road surface and getting in the wrong lane then expecting people to let you into their Lane or just forcing your way in front of them. I could go on. Driving standards today are actually abysmal. |

Middle lane hoggers. They reduce the number of lanes and fuck it up for everyone.
Drivers who are unaware of their surroundings and other road users.
Drivers who think that indicating gives them a right to go, whether its clear to go or not (e.g. those on a slip road going a major road) |

Drivers who cant maintain a constant speed and those that are terrified of oncomming traffic and tap the brake every time another car approaches them.
Biggest hatred though. Drivers who dont keep left on the motorway. Even get lorries and coach drivers now just sitting in lane 2 for no reason at all.
They just must really love traffic to be creating it all the time. |

People treat different cars differently. I always drive largely the same way and if I am driving my big car everyone generally drives properly around me. If I drive the small car it’s not uncommon for people to try to bully me off the road, as if they don’t think a small car should be on the outside lane. If I drive the old VW bus then people just think it is totally acceptable to pull right out in front of me because they think I am going to be slow and then they find that I am not as slow as they thought I was. I was driving the bus today and must have had half a dozen people just pull right out on front of me. Dangerous idiots. |

Tailgating, especially when you’re overtaking and there is traffic in front, so even if you change lanes they’d still be tailgating the next car.

A lot of places in Wales are 20mph now, so I'd say people who drive 12-15mph. Could you imagine being stuck behind someone doing 12mph for 10 miles? It winds the fuck out of me, especially when I'm trying to get home after a 12hr shift. |

Slow drivers (like my Father in law who has been pulled over several times for holding up too much traffic).
People who dont know how to indicate at roundabouts or use the lanes correctly.
People who brake then indicate.
People who wait to pull out until you get close to them then pull out and dont accelerate.
Tractor drivers that wave you past even though you can't see what's coming
People who overtake on bends (especially the ones that do it because the person in front did)
People who brake whenever there is traffic coming the opposite way.
Im sure there are more...
I do have sympathy for old people that have to drive because there is no public transport in rural places. Still annoying though 🙄 |

Folk who pull over the stop or give way lines at a junction in their Chelsea tractors as they can’t see the front of them .
Bus drivers who indicate then pull out regardless of approaching traffic .
Obscure but reversing out of their driveway . Surely it’s easier to reverse in and drive out .
If you’re unable to park in the parking space within the white lines get a smaller car don’t take up two spaces . Non disabled or non parent and child vehicles taking the spaces for the folk that they’re created for .

I can park excellently, I have lane discipline and I drive with the same manners and respect for others as I did when I drove my Clio! |

"People who don't use their parking brake at red lights or in a queue of traffic, and keep their foot on the brake pedal the whole time, blinding me with their brake lights."
my car and nearly all new cars have an "AUTO HOLD" feature. So when I stop at traffic lights or waiting in traffic when I press my brake and release it the brakes stay applied even with foot off the pedal until I pull away and that keeps the brake lights on so why use that park brake when we have that feature.
If it annoys you then don't sit and look straight at them. Am sure there would be something else that will be easier on your eyes to look at while waiting.
It's a safety feature on all modern cars get used to it. |

Slip road muppets.
You have two types. The ones who fly up the fast lane then at the last second slam their brakes on and dive across the lanes to get to the slip road, indicators entirely optional.
Those on the slip lane joining the motorway that dawdle, failing to understand the sliplane is meant to be used to match traffic speed on the road you are joining. |

I think this one is specific to Hull but people who pull out of side streets and block the lane because they want to join the opposite one, simply baffle me.
I only bip my horn if its someone just stopping and block the lane because they want to drop or pick up and cba to park. Road use needs to be considerate to everyone not convenient for a few |

Drivers who get angry when you are sticking to the speed limit.
Drivers who are on a main road, and want to turn right into your side road but stop and yield to let you out first even when there isn’t another car in sight.
Drivers who are coming downhill & refuse to allow you right of way when you are going uphill.
Drivers who play loud music with the windows down. Feck off, I don’t want to listen to your shit thanks.

Middle lane drivers on the motorway - actually can be a bit dangerous.
With the 20mph thing, what really gets is not the limit (I’m no slow driver, but I’m actually fine with it partly cos I now live in such a zone and it’s improved quality of life). It’s drivers behind you who get angry because you’re obeying the law, yet once you are back in a 50/60 zone, you leave them for dust. Happens a fair bit.
There’s a lot of folks who just want to drive at 43mph whatever the limit . |

In a car, it's people who sit in the outside lane of a motorway doing 10mph under the speed limit.
When cycling, it's close passes. |

Couldn't agree more. Giving bad drivers access to a car that's bigger than some vans is asking for trouble. |

The latest craze for stopping dead in the carriageway without any attempt to pull to the left in fairly narrow roads whenever traffic comes from the opposite direction.
Usually there is ample room to pass at sensible speeds but school run tanks and armoured cars are too unfamiliar with their own dimensions. |

This bugs me too. I have a large car and I am often sat behind a car too scared to move forward or they don't have to common sense to move left. It isn't only large cars that can't navigate the roads... it's the drivers, regardless of their vehicle. |

Bear in mind that on a lot of urban carriageways, destination laning has evolved for the benefit of regular users who get where they want at better average rates than constantly chopping and changing lanes dependent on speed.
The regulars know this but all goes to cock when strangers enter the equation on Saturdays and Sundays. |

I had the debate twice this week with my mum.
If driving along a country road that's 60mph speed limit. E.g. through the dales somewhere, occasionally bendy roads occasionally straight roads long enough to overtake.
Is dangerous to drive continuously at 30-40mph???
Emphasis on the continuously. |

Which is exactly why I've turned my auto brake off, and choose to use my parking brake instead. I'm a considerate driver. When you're in a queue of three lanes of cars all with ultra bright brake lights on in the dark, you don't even need to look directly at them to get blinded! Do you really think I sit and stare at lights that are blinding me when I need to be able to see to drive safely?
What a ridiculous comment to have made! |

Honestly, I get this. Especially at a busy roundabout when a gap to go is at a premium, it can be a bit annoying to see them hesitate when there are a few clear opportunities to go. But yeah, we all did start somewhere. |

I love sliproads. My main excuse to thrash the bejesus out of my poor little Micra and redline it in the first four gears to get up to pace then slot into the gap I made by joining at the correct speed and easing back into fifth.
What winds me up is those twats in much faster cars who decide they're entitled to the fast lane straight after joining and will use the very slightest gap to get there, often causing those they're barging in front of to hit the brakes. |

Gripe #2. You're at a set of lights in a straight ahead lane with a right turn lane next to you, and the little micropenis twat on your right in his wannabe Max Power barrywagon is creeping on the clutch because he thinks he's going to blow you away and cut in in front.
The satisfaction in staying absolutely static on red then displaying superior left foot launch control one nanosecond after the amber lights up and watching him (it's always a him) suddenly have to hit the brakes and concede with nowhere to go except pissing off the folk behind who actually wanted to turn right ... it's the chef's kiss of driving |

On the bus lane thing, I don’t think it is totally unreasonable to be wary of them unless you are really a regular on that road. If you are driving in a new area then you have a bit of sensory overload anyway. Trying to factor in what time it is, whether you are still in the band and looking to see if there isn’t another time band you have missed all whilst watching for people switching lanes and at the risk of getting a fine if you get it wrong makes it more than reasonable to play safe and not go into the lane. |

People who can't maintain a constant speed and the worst cunts are the ones that drive at 40 or 50 on a country road that you can do 60 on and when they get to a place you can overtake they speed up to 60. Stopping you from being able to overtake |
