Bus lanes can be tricky, sometimes they have times on but if they are 24 hour they don't have times on at all, quite often they go from limited time to 24 hour with only a little sign with no writing to indicate the change.
From tomorrow on, I won't stop only a few inches from the car in front of me any more. Got a new old car for work and this one has a totally ****ed gearbox/gear lever so I have not much idea whether a gear is engaged or not. Gonna be a fun 200 kilometres tomorrow indeed. :\
Ok Ladies and Gents...
*People who have No Consideration for cars behind, braking at the last second in traffic, not thinking about the possible pile up behind...
*People who are too busy staring in to Jewlerry shops in town rather than infront at MY CAR 20 meters up parallel parking in the high street (personal moment there from the past almost resulted in my car being made a BMW Astra)
*People who insist on almost pushing your rear bumper at junctions and lights, espicially on hills.
*People who poodle through traffic lights so only THEY make the green light no one else behind.
*People who do 40mph no matter what the speed limit, hello National speedlimit sign was 200 meters back, try the right pedal!!
*People who brake THEN indicate, isnt it ment to be the other way round? INDICATE before you manouver???
*Citroen Picasso Drivers
*People who hog the fast lane at 60mph and leave me no other option but to undertake...
*People who speed up when you overtake in the fast lane
*Indecisive drivers pulling on to roundabouts, who accelerate, cross the white line then OH MY GOD theres a car coming on from 2 junctions away, EMERGENCY STOP, i dont want my car redesigned at the rear by the traffic behind me and i dont want to do it to yours either!!!
*Prats in 4x4's who tailgate and then try to intimidate you as they have a bull bar, back off **** i will only get SLOWER
*People who dont move out of the slow lane over in to the fast lane when its clear and your trying to rejoin duel carriageway from a petrol station OR junction (seen 4 nasty and fatal accidents on the A11, one last week because of this from what i could tell)
*People who just seem to fail all together in speeding up joining duel carriageway from a slip road
*People on their mobile phones, especially txting. Also although its legal, dont like seeing people smoking while driving
*Myself :p :
I didn't even know that bus lanes had hours of operations, I'll have to have a look next time I drive in Plymouth.Quote:

3) Cyclist in Glasgow - they seem to have no idea what traffic lights are for - they are either road users or they're not. This also means they shouldn't used predestrian precincts.
4) People who sit at traffic lights and only when they move do they indicate they are about to turn right. Thats bearable of there is no oncoming traffic but more often than not there is loads.
5) People who indicate one junction too early - notorious is the junction of Cathedral Street and North Frederick Place... really really annoys me.
6) People who slow down, especially mid corner without using their brakes. Okay if there is a car in front I will see their lights but when there is nothing in front its a pain.
7) Tailgaters and midlane hoggers
8) Those that drive above a speed that it is safe to do so even if that speed is still below the limits. Had a few occassions on the motorway when I could barely see past the front of my bonnet and cars were passing me at the limit.
* People in heavy traffic on the motorway who won't leave a gap to let you join. Yes, legally you don't have to, but it's only common courtesy.
* The opposite of the above where they do an emergency stop on the motorway just because your on the slip road :s
* People who don't know that zip merge is one car at a time, if one car has merged you wait until behind the next one, you do not push in!
* People who's driving is so bad that they are braking at the very same point I would be foot to the floor :s
Running out of fuel twice in one day. :s
This is especially prevalent on Radio 2 but it probably applies elsewhere. You know when people phone in to the traffic reporter to warn of traffic jams, and instead of just giving their name as John or Dave etc , they give really stupid nicknames like Spongebob Square Pants, but the worst ones are Dereks Dad, or Annes Auntie or Bens Brother ad nauseum, that is ssooo played out.
Ok, I've got one. I really hate it when I'm on a really narrow road and another car comes and doesn't keep to the edge of the road when it passes me. Happened to me today and I had to drive onto the kerb. :angryfire :
