People unable to stick to a lane, especially on roundabouts; drivers that straight-line a '2 on 2 off' roundabout by starting in lane 1, drifting across into lane 2 on the roundabout and then back out to lane 1 drive me bonkers. It's even worse on smaller roundabouts when the vehicle on the left doesn't move across and robs you of all space on the inside of the roundabout. Peak knobbery.
This. Roundabouts these days seem to be designed to encourage this. With older roundabouts the lanes approaching the roundabout would have lane 1 aligned towards lane 1 on the roundabout, same with lane 2. With new roundabouts though, lane 1 is aligned with lane 2 and lane 2 points towards the central island. This geometry is supposedly meant to slow approaching traffic but it doesn’t - it jus encourages straight lining across lanes.donkmeister said:

The people who just cannot deal with cyclists.
Its as if they encounter one and think,
“Oh well, that’s me done. I’m going to have to stay behind this cyclist for the day. There’s no alternative”.
Generally they panic and eventually overtake at the worst possible moment.Its as if they encounter one and think,

As I rode into the pub car park he was there, only just getting out of his car. He had a ginger beard and looked like a tt which I suppose explains the behaviour.
I'm not a cyclist, but I assume that cyclists would much prefer the car to overtake rather than sit behind for mile after mile? Near me, the old duffers won't overtake because of double white lines or something. You'd think they were manoeuvring around a double decker bus not a solitary cyclist!
