Today, twice, cars have pulled out straight in front of me and then driven at a snails pace. I wasn't driving madly fast and behind me the road was clear. I've been feeling poorly and decided they were all out to get me today.

What gets to you when driving?

When someone drives at 30-40 through a 60 zone, then when they get to a 30 they speed off as fast as they can, then you catch them up at the next 60 zone going 30 again!!!

I nearly knocked down 2 ladies with prams earlier as they went to cross the road directly behind as I was about to reverse, they went beserk.

to be fair it was my fault as I could have looked multiple times behind me and it was unreasonable to ask them to use the 2 pedestrian crossings both 40 yards either side of my car.

Traffic lights that are deliberately phased by councils to specifically interrupt and stop the flow of traffic.

It's not exactly environmentally friendly to make a car stop for no reason with no other traffic in sight at 2.00am is it?

Not so.much annoying, more amusing...people who seem to assume you can stop/are paying attention/are not a psycho. EG the guy who pulled in front of me about 10 mins ago and just sat half way across the road looking at me. (I was coming down hill, weighing 44 tonnes at the time). My only thought was 'this will hurt you a lot more than it hurts me'...Unfortunately,I just missed him.

"When people on the motorway sit in the middle lane for no reason "

On a reasonably clear motorway this is actually quite fun as you can drive right up to them on the inside, indicate out and go all the way across from lane 1 to lane 3, pass, then do the same in reverse. Still amazes me that less than a quarter get the hint.

Morons who don't look before they pull out. Not long back I was being over taken by a motor bike, when someone pulled out on the other side of the road across in front of me. The biker swerved back in,but clipped the front of my car and came off. We stopped with me unable to see him, and my car has a very short bonnet! Luckily all fine, the other car sped off but reg was caught on the car coming the other ways dash cam.

When the driver who was idling down the motorway at 60 and I've just overtaken feels the need to overtake me at 70, pull in far to close and then slow down to 55 MPH. I seem to get it a lot, I guess being overtaken by a scooter is just too much of a threat to their self-esteem.

People, usually older people wearing a cap or a hat, who drive every road at 40 no matter what the speed limit. In a 30 zone they do 40, in a 50 60 or National Limit area they still do 40.

They always seem to drive in the middle of the road, until there's a car coming the other way, then they suddenly slow to 15 Mph and sharply pull in so close to the kerb that it's surprising they don't hit it, before the millisecond the cars gone past, swerving manically back out at almost 90 degrees and resuming the 40 Mph journey , argh !!!!!

That's the point! I only borrow the Subaru/range rover when I need to. I was in the Subaru driving down the motorway at 70...uses a lot of fuel once you start going any faster, and had a Toyota Yaris tailgating me trying to push me down the motorway

Drivers joining a dual carriageway / motorway who think just because they are indicating don't have to look, or expect you to change lane (especially if you cant).

Drivers who insist on driving in lane 2 of a motorway when lane 1 is clear. They effectively reduce it to a 2 lane motorway - if it was supposed to be that, millions wouldn't have been spent making it 3 lanes!

I have a theory about speeders that they drive so fast because they have just left a place where people couldn't wait to be rid of them and they are going somewhere where no one will wait for them.

"The myth that everyone seems to believe that cars have to stop for you at a zebra crossing!"

Au contraire

Taken from the Highway Code.

Rule 195

Zebra crossings. As you approach a zebra crossing

look out for pedestrians waiting to cross and be ready to slow down or stop to let them cross

you MUST give way when a pedestrian has moved onto a crossing

allow more time for stopping on wet or icy roads

do not wave or use your horn to invite pedestrians across; this could be dangerous if another vehicle is approaching

be aware of pedestrians approaching from the side of the crossing.

A zebra crossing with a central island is two separate crossings (see ‘Crossings’).

"The myth that everyone seems to believe that cars have to stop for you at a zebra crossing!

Au contraire

Taken from the Highway Code.

Rule 195

Zebra crossings. As you approach a zebra crossing

look out for pedestrians waiting to cross and be ready to slow down or stop to let them cross

you MUST give way when a pedestrian has moved onto a crossing

allow more time for stopping on wet or icy roads

do not wave or use your horn to invite pedestrians across; this could be dangerous if another vehicle is approaching

be aware of pedestrians approaching from the side of the crossing.

A zebra crossing with a central island is two separate crossings (see ‘Crossings’)."

There is more though isnt there??

Im always giving way to artics, most people dont seem to realise that if they let you go when you first started indicating you will actually get passed a whole lot quicker

I thought they were built for use by the general public as well as commercial traffic.

You do know that road tax is not paid into a special secured governmental Road Tax fund and spent on roads? It all goes to government income. How much is actually spent on roads is down to many factors.

"Drivers with "baby on board" stickers that feel, by virtue of a lucky fuck, that they can drive like complete pricks and the rest of us will manage to avoid them! And Yes,I have just had one pull out on me and then cut me up 2mins later! "

They were introduced so that emergency services knew to look for children in car wrecks.....

The drivers are usually pretty poor but not as bad as those displaying 'princess on board' stickers......

Nothing and nobody gets to me whilst driving.

I drive slowly and smoothly, keep my distance, smile sweetly, wave other road users through, and always leave plenty of time for the journey so not to get stressed. Chill and relax, enjoy the journey!

Oh, very important to play relaxing music, ( not radio 1 ! )

A bus today by the trafic lights decided to take both fucking lanes and I got stuck on the outside. There was a box junction so I had no choice. What really got to me was how he just ignored my horn. Lucky for him I was driving my mum to appointment.

Personally I think the driving test should include an IQ test. Thick cunts should stay off the road, driving safely is 100% common sense.

Its still illegal and changing lanes isn't always possible. Highway code says to create more space on front of you if being tailgated so yoi don't have to brake sharply.

Sorry but frankly this is total tosh. People generally tailgate because they are bad, inconsiderate drivers (although it is sometimes impossible not to as on some roads whenever you try and leave a safe stopping distance at least one, if not more, vehicles will occupy it). But then your _iew on this fits with your idea that everyone needs to get out of the way to let you on to the motorway probably regardless of what else is going on (or what is said under rules 259 and 264 of the Highway Code).

Sorry but I tests have nothing to do with common sense. I have worked with enough brilliant people with staggeringly high IQs but some of them have had virtually no common sense.

"Cyclists do my nut in

if a polite one who cycles well in at the side of the road, then I take my time, give plenty room and politely pass with appreciation,

if twats who cycle two abreast and will not pull in then once passed, the window is rolled down and the box of tac's & drawing pins are released, have a nice day now

Aaannnd the prat of the day award goes to...

What a bloody good idea, wish I'd thought of that.

Lycra louts who ride in packs like the tour de France are fu***ng pain and a danger to other road users."

yep, drawing pins do nothing to a car but straight through a bicycle tyre, so I have been told anyway

There must be some people reading these posts.. thinking:

"I always drive in the middle lane"

Etc

If that's what you're thinking, then please stop it! You're driving like a nob!

Is this post for real? What about when the motorway is busy, everyone's doing a steady 70 and there's some arsehole tailgating you, right up your arse. Where do they intend on going? They then tailgate the next person. And the next. Until they get to wherever is so important to be that 8 seconds earlier than the considerate drivers. Pink shirt guy clearly a frequent tailgater.
