"Had an awful journey on A74 yesterday with lots of surface water and guys doing 90mph through the deluge. Scary. So what's your pet hate? Mine is tailgating and cutting other drivers up. It's bad manners and can be intimidating too." This is just crazy. Don't know if the person driving at 90mph in heavy rain thinks he's invisible or something. Should drive to the conditions etc. Don't like it when people just drive way faster than they should be, weaving from one lane to another. People who when entering motorway decide to go from on-ramp right to fast lane in one go, no indication. And when coming off the motorway I've seen the opposite happen, heavy braking from fast lane to off-ramp, no indication etc. | |||

"People who overtake you, then cut across in front to get to a slip road, instead if just dropping behind. It's rarely someone who suddenly realises that it's their turn off, more usually some knob jockey in hot hatch." Men,and it nearly always is Men, who think it's a great idea to jump a long queue of traffic at lane closures by tearing up the outside lane and then pull into the queue at the last moment because some damned fool takes pity on them. Don't. It only encourages them to keep doing it. | |||

"People who park over the line in parking bays taking two parking spaces grrrrrr" Grrrrr indeed Ms Nawty and a double grrrrrr to those selfish individuals who deliberately park leaving insufficient space front and rear for other vehicles. I know some have never found the reverse gear since passing their test. Hanging is too good for them....getting a bit carried away now | |||

Don't. It only encourages them to keep doing it. I hope you are not referring to those that read the signs and then merge in turn (zip merging) at the closure as instructed instead of changing lanes at the 800m warning sign and then blocking up the road with a single lane traffic jam! I NEVER let them in. They had the same warnings as me. " | |||

What causes congestion is number of cars not speed what you mean is guys like you going faster braking HARDER to when arriving behind the 50 driver and the knock on effect of drivers reacting to your hard braking | |||

You know you sail by long lines of stationary traffic right up to the cones with the nearside indicator blinking looking to bully your way to the front of the queue. Just repent and desist.

"Being a cyclist and a car driver I'm more wary of cyclists when driving my car and that's what car drivers should be aware of instead of criticising cyclists !!!" To be fair, I don't hate cyclists, my post was meant humorously. However, I do hate that our roads are poorly maintained and the powers that be seem hell bent on strangling traffic. In regard to cyclists, our roads are not geared to suit them (unlike many European countries). My biggest gripe is if I (as a car driver) behaved the way most (not all) of them do on the road I'd be prosecuted. Running red lights, speed minus, pulling out without checking or indicating and a host of other things. Cyclists can go on our roads with no test whatsoever, makes no sense to me | |||

"I've seen two cyclists nearly collide with each other as they both crossed the junction going through the lights as they did so. Drivers not using their indicators. Throwing rubbish, cigarettes out of their window. Cutting people up without signalling. Moving in to the gap you've left to be a safe distance behind the vehicle in front. Inconsiderate parking including right outside my house! Drivers not pulling over for the emergency services. Rubbernecking at an accident and causing a tailback and another accident at times Other people's 70 mph seems to be faster than mine! Going through lights Not using headlights when it's dark A little courtesy goes a long way. " This There are good and bad everywhere in everything. | |||

A lot of cyclists could help themselves if they wore hi viz. Some folk have no sense of self preservation." A lot of cyclists would help themselves if they didn't do stupid things, and remember that motor vehicles are big, powerful, heavy things that can hurt you, if the stupid things you do put you in their way. If they want to use the road, They should pay road tax and buy insurance, and protective gear should be compulsory. Oh, and before any cyclists say that they pay road tax and have insurance for their car, the important part of that is FOR THEIR CAR. If I had two cars, I have to cover both, and so should they, car and bike. I also object to the proposals to bring in strict liability on drivers who have accidents involving cyclists. If they do something stupid, why should I pay? Don't get me started on bikers... | |||

"Folk that sit at 50 on A roads and motorways in broad daylight with miles of visability In dry conditions. Code says drive to the conditions,not what you feel comfortable at.you can fail your test for going slow so why not get a ticket for it? Lorries that think its fun to go side by side on a 2 lane while theres 30 cars behind them,twats that dive from one lane to the other and back again in tailbacks,folk that use bus lanes like they are there personal road,cyclists in general and twats like the guy on the M9 today who came from the outside lane right across and cut up about 5 cars as he dived up the 876.BMW driver so said it all " I honestly sit around 55-60mph on motorway majority of the time. I've agreed that you should drive to the conditions etc. But when you see some crazy people driving at crazy speeds, near loosing it or crashing then why NOT sit at a safe speed. I like to keep a decent size gap between me and driver infront. Never had anyone in all my years of driving complaining from other drivers, or had any complaints from my passengers yet. | |||

If they want to use the roads, which are primarily for motor vehicles, let's face it, they should have the same requirements as a driver put on them." Also... it's the double standard... Motorists (all kinds) are told to observe the "I'm a cyclist give me six feet of room on the road" (yes I know they don't always get it) yet as Steph said, when it suits them they squeeze into two feet of space. As I also said before the main problem is our roads are struggling to cope with the demands of use and volume of traffic. | |||

" Car drivers don't pay Road Tax, it was done away with many years ago. It's now called Vehicle Excise Duty. There is no law saying cyclists should wear head gear although a lot of them do As a cyclist and car driver I always give plenty of room to cyclists as should all car drivers whether they are cyclists or not 1: Don't be a pedant, you knew what was meant. 2: I know there is no law saying they should wear protective gear. That wss my point, there should be. 3: Giving cyclist cycle lanes, and me being a responsible driver doesn't stop cyclists being stupid, and putting themselves, and others at risk. They need to be covered at their own cost, not mine.

But I live very near a cycle path which is much better. Much safer for me, no need to worry about vehicles etc. | |||

"Men,and it nearly always is Men, who think it's a great idea to jump a long queue of traffic at lane closures by tearing up the outside lane and then pull into the queue at the last moment because some damned fool takes pity on them. Don't. It only encourages them to keep doing it. I NEVER let them in. They had the same warnings as me. If half the vehicles in one lane used the empty lane being coned off, moved forward then merged in turn, the traffic would move a bit quicker and there wouldn't be a massive single queue tailback." this you use both lanes and then merge in turn , why would you leave a lane empty ?? | |||

"Never in a hurry here and drive even slower with tailgaters behind me. as for 90 through water that's stupid like said above drive to conditions. My pet hate is people that don't indicate Yea. If heavy rain I'll sit at 50mph maybe even less if torrential. Better safe than sorry. Hate driving too fast, makes me feel uncomfortable. Stupid boy racers also, noisy cars, trying to show off, if you do that too much it's inevitable you'll end up a cropper. Yea and the cars that are up your rear in the heavy rain. I'm just glad their wee corsa doesn't go above my bumper. Tailgating is dangerous. I leave a big gap between me and the car infront when I'm on motorway. Normally I sit between 55-60mph." thats fine as long as in the inside lane , not the overtaking lane | |||
