That's because we have only one road here in Scandinavia. And Eki is driving it from head to head with his SUV. :DQuote:

Wagon drivers who insist on overtaking on dual carriageways, where there is less than 1mph difference in the speeds of the two vehicle concerened!
Wagon drivers who block of the outside lane approaching roadworks miles before the restriction, for no apparent reason!
Before I get driven off the road by the next trucker I see, the majority of HGV's are driven by proferssionals who know what they're doing, and are a pleasure to share the road with.
This is a massive problem. Coming home yesterday the motorway goes from 3-lanes down to 2-lanes, during the 25 mile 2-lane stretch I never got above 60mph as there were lorries overtaking the entire time. A road which is free flowing at 70mph+ can be reduced to a crawl because of this :(Quote:

Also, people who drive around carparks at 2km/h looking for a parking space. Just coz you're going slow doesnt mean that a space will magically materialise. This goes similarly for the one armed thing. changing gears with an arm that has just been operated on really hurts! dont make me do it unnessecarily!
Or perhaps i should just not be driving at the moment....
Stick it in 3rd and leave it there ;)
I've found my driving hate. That's really irresponsible.Quote:

If you're not able to respond quick enough, should you even be driving? :confused:
how is it irresponsible if i'm driving better than half the idiots out there and paying more attention than i usually would to what i'm doing. It's not like i'm driving after taking the painkillers either. i'm just having a few gear change issues..Quote:

This continues for miles and finally I move pass and stay accelerated for about 300 yards and set my speed to the posted limit once again.
I mean whats the sense in that. I would have passed and moved on without the drama quicker if they just didn't accelerated in the 1st place.
My 'friend' says women.
Another to add to the one I said the other day (which stays, because it's only your opinion if you are better than the rest of us inferior drivers)
Caught someone in the next lane to me reading a map book in their hands whilst driving. Oh boy, the swaying and swerving made me think twice about staying alongside.
Similar to mine. I caught someone making text message while driving. The guy used three lanes and was driving a van :up: :mark:Quote:

Peolpe who miss their turning off the roundabout, then, on realising, yank the steering wheel and just about take the front of your car off with no apparent notice that there was a car behind them who knew where he was going.
I get both of these at least twice a week, I hate my life :(

This is unbelivable. **** !!!!
Take a chill pill :p
because not everyone has rally drive cornering skills?!
We're at Finland. I expect everyone to have rally drive cornering skills. Those ****ing snails !!!Quote:

Change that 18 wheeler to a Fiat Panda and you just described my day.Quote:

Two old ladies in a Mini going down a dual carriageway doing 98kph.Big Artic driver with cruise on ,restricted to 100k by limiter comes up behind flashing his lights ,so she might get a move on.Her old lady passenger says "jump on the brakes really hard Doris and give him a shock!!!!
The other week a lane hogger managed to really P me off and undertook her.
Turned round to glance and at the silly girl in her own little world.
I was giving her the evil glare, face fuming and turns out the poor lass had a cute face.
Felt a bit bad after that as wouldn't mind having her phone number!
Yes!! If you are in such a rush to pull out right in front of me then at least get a move on after you do it dammit!!! :angryfireQuote:

people who merge lanes at the last minute
I can't stand people who have their foglights on when it's not foggy.
This is meant to be what happens. Amazes me that when there is a queue for the Forth Bridge if I am driving home, I can easily drive past a mile of stationary traffic and then merge in at the end of the lane and be on my way. Can't understand why anyone wouldn't do that :confused:Quote:

I hate it whenever I try to 'push in' there's always an inconsiderate so and so who refuses acknowledge you're there by adopting tunnel vision.
You always get one militant old fart who thinks he's doing everybody a favour by straddling both lanes and blocking anyone from passing, when in fact all they're doing is making the queue stretch back even further. :dozey:Quote:
