Nr Cardiff or at Chams Darlaston

I’ve noticed a fair few drivers never use their indicators.

And some are firmly stuck in the middle lane of the motorway, even when there are no other cars around.

Slow drivers. They cause frustration. Why do 25mph on a 60mph road and cause tailbacks. Pull over and let people past or put your foot down.

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.

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

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 against the flow of traffic,not in a marked bay,especially at night(headlights in your eyes because the left bias has now become a right bias into your eyes.Its supposed to be a fine and points,even in daylight but doesn't seem to be enforced.

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.

Cyclist who don't look, indicate,have no lights etc.Most cyclists drive,so they have passed at least one test.Why ride a bike in a way that would get you fined,points,banned even jailed if you drove a car that way.

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

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.

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 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”

These people are actually adding to the delays with their impatience.

In guessing you mean when two lanes go into one?

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 "

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.

"Cyclists who is blocking the road as they cycle beside eachother and doesnt let the traffic pass them.

I heard somewhere cyclists can do that.

They can but it's stil single file on narrow/country roads and around all corners.

Nope. That was recently changed. From the Highway Code (rule 66)

Cyclists considerate of other road users?Aware of drivers behind?Allow drivers behind to overtake?

This is the script for a comedy show,surely?"

They make up for the idiots who try to pass cyclists dangerously when theirs not enough room.

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.

"Oh gawd … don’t get me started !!

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

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.

"Slow drivers. They cause frustration. Why do 25mph on a 60mph road and cause tailbacks. Pull over and let people past or put your foot down."

Probably checking their fab’d pics…..

"Middle lane hoggers on the motorway! Stick to the inside unless overtaking it’s not hard people!"

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.

"I’ve noticed a fair few drivers never use their indicators.

And some are firmly stuck in the middle lane of the motorway, even when there are no other cars around.

People that use red lights as an excuse to

Do their makeup

Send a text

Look for that thing they dropped

Shout at the kids in the back

Kiss their partner (I’m not jealous, no you fuck off)

Things that all take longer than it takes for the lights to turn back to green and I’ve got to wait for them because “patience is a fucking virtue”

Grrrrr

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.

People who you let through or out of a junction they and don’t even bother to acknowledge I think it’s the height of fucking ignorance.

Same with those who don’t indicate to turn left causing you to stop needlessly at a roundabout

When other motorist are on the road too. Driving would be great if it weren't for other motorist. Nothing like when you enjoy a long drive down empty back roads.

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.
