Motoring pet hates, I have a few. :mad:
There are those Citroen Picassos and the people carriers, they look silly. :rolleyes:
Tailgaters, even seeing the word makes me want to go mad at them. :mad:
Indicators which cancel early but when you forget to turn them off, they stay on. :o
People that slip out in front of you on a road then they proceed to drive slow!
People that drive slowly and then they speed up on a road with a speed limit!
Thats just the beginning!
Mobile phoners, some **** was texting behind me today...
Middle lane hoggers
Blocking the outside lane at roadworks, to prevent 'queue jumping' I guess. All it does is **** up zip merging and doubles the length of the queue causing problems at e.g. roundabouts back down the line. Even worse when there are signs saying 'use both lanes' and 'merge in turn'
10 mile lorry overtakes
Doddering pensioners doing 40 on dual carriageways, causing chaos
I used to get that a lot when I had my Zafira. I guess people think 'uh oh, people carrier, must get out in front of them'. Only mine was the GSi with 200bhp.Quote:

And people who do 40 everywhere, regardless of what the posted limit is...Quote:

I particularly dislike people driving in the middle of the road rather than sticking to their lane.
I live on a narrow road, on one side there's the harbour and on the other a steep hill. I came around a blind bend once (there's even a centreline) and I found an idiot in an SUV happily straddling both lanes driving towards me.
I still don't know how we didn't crash...
I tend to drive in the middle of the road on straight sections. Some road here are such that when I drive on the right, I tilt to the right side and I like to keep my head straight. :pQuote:

Driving in the middle of the road around a blind bend is stupid...
People who are talking with mobile phones during driving. If I see one of those idiots near me again, I will bash him.
People who cannot park. Recently, I was ready to park when there was a woman there struggling to park. For 5-6 minutes she kept trying to park, but was unable. Just ridicolous. I had tears in my eyes from laughing and thought about going there and helping her.
Boyracers who think they are so great drivers, yet first sign of ice and they are in the wall and looking like morons.
