One single thing that makes you think "knob"

You're wafting along in the outside lane, at NSL + something, cool tunes on the stereo, you're the king of the road.
And then you look down.
And there's a blinking green light. For your right indicator.
That's been on for what must be at least ten miles.
And then you realise the knob is you, and deflated, you slink back into the middle lane where the people carriers and french cars live.
People who sit in the middle lane of motorways. Especially those having sat in lane 3 for ten miles with their indicator on.And then you look down.

When people sit in the middle lane and the inside lane is clear and I am towing a 2 1/2 ton trailer with my Disco, I naturally undertake, (what choice have I got!).
The look on some of their faces is priceless and some will even move to the inside after I have passed!! The remainder probably think "nob" but hey, my shoulders are broad

Once upon a time I attempted to disengage cruise control, while approaching a car in the outside lane and accidentally flashed the lights and put on the right indicator... felt a bit silly going past them after they had completed their overtake 
Cars that have 'Police' wrote down the side 
(joking)
People who indicate to turn off at a roundabout and just carry on going round to the next exit instead of taking the exit they are signaling for....saw a young girl doing it today, too busy smoking and chatting, nearly killed the the car that pulled out as he though she was turning of.

Anyone in the ‘ I know you’re doing the speed limit but I’m still going to sit there hugging the lines as if I’m going to overtake you, even though I haven’t really got the guts to when opportunity provides itself ‘ gang!!
FFS get out of my mirror or overtake me, and if you do overtake don’t then drop back down to our speed, or don’t dare drop below it or I swear I’m going to . . . . . . . . . . . . . . sit there muttering to myself how much of an asshole you are!

Especially in front of other traffic when it means that where you could have pulled out safely, your demonstration of driving prowess and awesome power means cars have to brake to avoid you! (VW Golf with no suspension at all by the look of it)

Was driving around Bridgenorth doing 60 NSL and have this Arsetra Estate right on my chuff. Lots of straight empty bits of road to go past if he wanted, ended up having to slow down to around 40 to encourage him to go past...still didnt work so i just pulled in a side road because i felt very intimidated and couldnt enjoy the drive looking in my mirror every two seconds seeing the idiots knuckles straining on the top of the steering wheel while he layed back in this chair like it was a sun lounger.

I've been cycling to work the last couple of months, I nominate the (many) people who overtake then immediately turn left/right. I nearly went over the roof of a Ford KA last week and had to lose all my momentum today waiting for someone to complete the slowest left "swan neck" turn I've ever seen.
People (usually blokes) in over-large pick ups or vans that like to tailgate MR2's because, they have 'x'thousand feet of torgue from their massive diesel engine and, WOW, they can exceed the 50mph limit on this straight stretch of road, but not actually overtake.
Then after the bend, when the bows rise as they mash their foot deeper into the vinyl floor covering, they achieve an even more impressive closing speed on the next straight as they desperately try to recover the lost ground...
Chaps, your 2+ tonne commercial vehicle is not best suited to taking bends...so please don't try to stick to the arse of my car just because you think you can.

On that note, the 20 something bloke in a BMW 330d touring who wheel span out of a junction in Salisbury city centre. Then 5 minutes later the bloke in the 330ci with his windows down who squealed around a corner, again in the city centre, who looked back at 2 girls. I'm just jealous my repmobile doesn't have the desired effect Especially in front of other traffic when it means that where you could have pulled out safely, your demonstration of driving prowess and awesome power means cars have to brake to avoid you!

If you get this right they normally have a little panic braking into a corner when you don't have to. always cracks me up as they try to tailgate as you slowly pick up the pace.

Pull up in middle lane near Kingston train station behind Tesco van. His engine dies so myself and car behind roll back a few feet and indicate to go around him. Enter new white Audi-doody RS6 who decides not to let us pass till he's forced his way by first. Obviously too stupid to have seen hazards on the Tesco van and realize just why it is we are now attempting to pass to one side. Audi literally forces his way between my car and the wall and I feel our cars make contact. Cue me telling the guy my opinion of him and his resembling female genitalia! As he rounds the left hand bend ahead of me, I can see the thick black stripe that accentuates the fresh dent in his nearside rear quarter. One benefit of an 80's BMW are the metal bumpers & rubbing strips. All I had to do was wipe off the white paint his car left behind.
Impatient knob.
