    What annoys you that other drivers do?
    I get really annoyed when someone in the right hand lane is driving slower than the speed limit, or when I'm in the right lane and the person in the other lane beside me is driving faster than me when I'm going faster in the first place to try and over take them. I have to give up or I'd have to do about 90mp to over take them :mad::mad::mad:.

    When someone slows down at traffic lights even though it's green. Inevitably it turns amer then red on me and i have to slam on my brakes. Also people who blindly pull out the other way down a small lane without bothering to see me coming the other way.

    when someone goes really slow so you take over, and then when your past them, they decide to stick right up your ass...

    Creeping up intentionally on your ass about 15 seconds before you turn a corner and give you the classic stare out the passenger window for getting in their way. It's not like you would rag it round the corner at 40mph yourself so what's with the frustration.

    Failing to indicate.
    Sloppy lane discipline.
    Failing to read road signs.
    Driving at excessive speed.
    Driving too slow.
    Failing to adjust driving style in line with conditions.
    Failing to look ahead.


    In general - sloppy, lazy driving. The sort that shows that the driver does not appreciate that with driving comes responsibility.

    When I'm driving at the speed limit, and yet some fool insists on driving up my arse, trying to bully me into breaking the limit.

    Middle lane hoggers. If you're not overtaking, get the hell out of the overtaking lanes.

    This one doesn't annoy me as such, but confuses the crap out of me: people who stop a couple of feet over the line at red lights. Why on earth do they do it? It's not like stopping behind the line is hard, and one day there's going to be a camera and bam, three points and a fine, for nothing.

    Complete lack of lane discipline - idiots (mainly on or approaching roundabouts) that drift into my lane when I'm there.

    On a dual carriageway today in the right hand lane doing 70MPH. Someone on the other side pulls into the central reservation stops, and then pulls out right infront of me. Obviously slowing down wouldn't have been an option else I would have gone straight into them. Had to do this mad swerve around them. Couldn't believe my eyes.
    If someone was in that passenger seat they would have been dead. They were lucky I reacted quickly. I had my headlights on an everything, clearly didn't look at all. Was absolutely gob smacked they did that.

    People who don't drive at the speed limit, always happens on one stretch of road that is a 60 (its a national speed limit road) but everyone does 40. Does my head in!

    Those who do not indicate at roundabouts.

    When people go mad when you're not doing 60mph constantly on country lane roads with the national speed limit. I'm talking about the winding tight-cornered narrow country lane roads that would be pure dangerous to do 60mph all the way.

    Also I got cut up by a BMW driver. I was in the correct lane, and he was in the lane to turn left only. What did he do when the lights turned green? Pull right across in front of me into my lane which was to go straight ahead so I had to slam on my brakes.

    What annoys me most is the drivers that don't understand the notion of giving way to the right at mini roundabouts. Usually it's the old gits who learnt to drive 100 years ago who simply don't understand modern etiquette.

    Sometimes you get to a stage where each car waits for the other car to go first, causing a total stop at every direction. Obviously we youngsters put our foot down first and show the golden oldies how it's done, but it still pisses me of nonetheless.
