What pisses me off in traffic?

To make it worse at the bottom it goes single lane (not a problem) and then merges with another 2 lane road to become a 3 lane motorway. So why do people hit the brakes at the merge and slow from 70 to 50 just to join the motorway? Then I pull out to overtake them and they're doing 80 again and pull across in front of me so that I have to switch to the outside to overtake or stay in the middle lane with someone 2 foot from my bumper (inside lane usually got something slower in it). To make it even more annoying I need to turn off at the next junction and usually end up going across 3 lanes far too quickly.

This is the same on the A38 at Holden hill when coming from Plymouth, but of course there is a speed camera at the bottom just before it merges with the motorway!

- Drivers with fog lights on when there isn't fog.
- Drivers who dive in, out brake you and overtake on the inside at roundabouts.
- Drivers talking on mobiles, often young women with children in the car.
- Drivers that empty their ashtrays in car parks or throw buts out the window.
- Harley riders with no baffles in the mufflers, what makes them think they are above the law?
- Sub woofers!

I was talking about Telegraph hill as I come back from Paignton most days :D

At the top of Holdon I always turn off onto the old road which is always empty, most times I can get down that road as quick as anyone on the dual carriageway AND you don't have to deal with the speed camera ;) :D

Thank the Lord but I should be finished down there in a week or two and should be back in Exeter. I don't think I could handle a bunch of pink northerners getting lost in front of me *gulp*

People who pull out in front of me making me stomp on the brakes, and then without indicating they turn into a driveway or side road just a little way along making me stomp on the brakes again :angryfire

hooligans

People who thinks brakes (and the car) works by magic, and brakes way too late. They should also know that it is tendency to take longer distant to brake SUV and vans compared to small sedan.

Sh!t AFF I didn't know you had enough people living in the ice age to have traffic. Plus you are probably following EKI every day and we all know that he is Stoned :cool:

Driving instructors who dont take the L-plates down when they are driving, and you go to overtake them, thinking its a learner, but they are away like billyoh.
