Now I know all the common stuff like tailgating, middle lane hogging etc etc. What I mean is what really annoys you that is really fairly harmeless but winds you up none the less. What really gets me annoyed is people stopping when they don't have to. Mainly at roundabouts, I look a long time before and judge whether I need to stop. A lot of others seem to have blinkers right up to the give way line, emergency stop, then look! aaaaarrrrrrggggghhhh, you are allowed to look beforehand!

People who don't signal - I mean it's not a hardship flicking a switch is it!!!!!????
Oh yer indicating at roundabouts, the lack of
They are the same ones who stop and apply the handbrake as well

The other ones that really annoy me are Volkswagon drivers...they are the worlds worst
Huge herds of cyclists on narrow roads that ride 20 abreast doing 5mph for 20 miles without an ounce of thought for the 350 cars tailed back behind em.
People who inapproriately turn out of a side turning, causing oncoming traffic to brake, and then don't accelerate.
Mine is when you're sitting in a traffic jam and the car infront of you doesnt crawl forward with everyone else and leaves a massive space between them and the car infront.

I know that the car moving up is isn't going to get me anywhere faster but it winds me up something chronic. Only once have I actually pulled out (when safe to do so, obviously) tooted my horn as I pass them and nip in infront.
Might as well say it....Women drivers

Saves typing all the faults, lol
having a bad day geezer?? lol

I hate people who change lane without looking or as one pr@t the other week did, pull out onto a three lane carriageway from a service station straight into lane 1. He sat stationary watching me in lane 1 for ages, traffic moving in both other lanes meant i couldnt move over safely. But this guy sat and sat and then as i was about 200yrs from him pulled straight out without using the slip road.

Oh and then, once i managed to get around him he pulled into lane 2 and sat there for miles.

People that sit at 40 ina 60 limit and then speed up in a 40, what the hell is that all about???
Oh elvis I think you're cruisin' for a bruisin' here!
middle lane motorway drivers have to be the worst of the worst.. But someone pulling out in front causing you to slam on the anchors and then says thank you , comes a close second..and pushbikes who seem to think its there right to ignore ALL traffic signs/lights etc..and seem to get some form of perverse enjoyment out of slowing/holding up the traffic causing maximum frustration and giving bike riders a bad name..
people who wrongly think that merging in turn is disrespectful or pushing in :)

Nice one ethadron, what a kin genius you are.

Just thought of another one that winds me up, you know when you pull over to let them go because you've got Michael Schumacher up yer jaxy and then suddenly they turn into a Sunday driver and just sit there parallel without actuall overtaking. WTF is all that about? get past you t1t and kill yourself later trying to merge with a tw&t like ethadum!
Everybody has mentioned other drivers but I'm going to say pedestrians. Idiots who just walk out into the road and make you brake hard. Happens a lot round Sarf London!
HGV'S on the motorway tailgating but if i get tailgated by a car i always put my windscreen washers on then watch theres go on after a few times they get the hint!!
People who don't wave a thanks when you pull over for them............and people on horses who don't acknowledge you for slowing down as you go past them. That really annoys me. I feel like blowing my horn so they get chucked off !! Good manners cost nothing.
Reversing down a narrow road to allow another motorist through who then seems to have tunnel vision and doesn't acknowledge what I've just done for them. GRRRRR
people who do something stupid and then give YOU a mouthful of abuse!
People who don't thank you when you let them out

People who stop unnecessarily at roundabouts

People who pull out then go 5mph

people who jsut constantly go 5mph in a 60mph zone

People who block up other peoples exits because they don't judge if there is enough room for them to get into their exit grrr that is the worst one really ****** me off its so bloody rude - fair enough people do it by accident I have done myself but I get it a lot blatantly people just not looking
