The old MX5 driven by an older chap at 45mph and brakes for EVERY corner but goes mental if you overtake - flashing lights and waving his arms.
The yound lad in the Audi A5 (used to have a Megane Sport) who srives at 40 until you try and overtake then accelerates.
The Woman in the X3 who drives down the middle of the road to stop you overtaking. (I think she now has a new Ford Kuga but not sure)
The chap in the (previously Honda Civic) VX Insignia who overtakes on blind corners across double whites on aregular basis.
The chap in the old Peugeot 306 who block you if you try to overtake.
There are others but can't remember them all right now.
Why haven't you turned your car into something resembling one of the ones in Death Race? I need to calm down, even I'm annoyed for you! The yound lad in the Audi A5 (used to have a Megane Sport) who srives at 40 until you try and overtake then accelerates.

Mind you, it looks like this job is coming to an end so...

Young lad and his mate in a Fiesta Zetec S this evening who decided to try and outdrag me when I went to overtake. Not unusual on my daily commute. The think that made me think 'knob' was the fact I was in the TVR. How on earth he thought he'd stop me overtaking I've no idea.
It was on a downhill so perhaps he thought it would give him an advantage.
As I pulled back in I saw him in the mirror. He was red faced and giving me coffee beans. His mate was laughing at him.
Overtook a diesel estate passat today and got the same treatment, kept tailgating me to hell but not overtaking. Fortunately I barely had to sneeze and I had made a gap in the current car.It was on a downhill so perhaps he thought it would give him an advantage.

Number 1 on my list is people who sit in a line at 40mph, refusing to overtake, and then shut the gap between them and the car in front when you make a perfectly reasonable and safe attempt to pass. I'd have them hung, drawn and quartered, although I'd settle for charging them with dangerous driving. Someone did this to me on the A52 a while ago - I was passing a few cars sitting behind a lorry which they were clearly never going to overtake and was about to pull in as an oncoming car was approaching (still some distance away) when some moron in a 5 series shut the gap. He was gesticulating wildly, clearly frothing at the mouth with rage at the prospect of being overtaken, and then proceeded to match my speed and try to block my attempt to drop back in behind him, obviously much happier to cause an accident. What an absolute 
.
I don't trust people in a line for this very reason and plan my overtakes accordingly.

"Princess on board" and "Powered by fairydust" stickers and similar. I have a theory that the more tat and stickers there are stuck to a car, the worse it will be driven and the wider a berth it should be given.
On the lines of this, I want a sticker for my car that says "If you can read this, please sod off". Don't know why, I just do.

This is why they invented Guaranteed No Claims for your insurance. Sideswipe them off the road and let them learn a lesson? .I don't trust people in a line for this very reason and plan my overtakes accordingly.

Not quite watched it all but there are a lot of candidates on there for this thread.
Not in the least the 2 goons who bought houses by motorways then complain about the noise. I notice they had no comment to the fact the daytime noise was no louder than the workers. Looked like they just liked something to moan about and wanted something for nothing (a week in a hotel). The biggest utter cock of the pair of them was the one screaming into the sound recording equipment (scaring his dog in the process). Would it be tttish to work out where on that section of M6 is that they live and peep every time I drove by it? Did feel sorry for Mr and Mrs Croak though, they had been there long before the road.
Couple of new ones:
Woman parked in Lane 3 of 4 of M1 approaching London, toodling at about 67mph, Im behind her, we pass a lorry and in Lane 1 there is a Highways Agency 4x4. She sees this and hits the anchors to 60!
I passed her and moved back in and waved quite wildly at her to f**king move over. I doubt she noticed.
And the fella in busy traffic further North on M1 who dropped from about 40 which everyone else was doing to sub 30. I did intend to signal that you were a w**ker but you didnt even look up from your phone to see me. I'd have thought the 50 metre gap to the lorry in front would suggest that you maybe werent paying attention?!
Plus the now standard "Ill do 35 in a 60" drivers. Sat at temp lights for 5 mins 5 cars back from a lorry. People in between when we took off were so reluctant to speed up that I swept up a mile long hill and didnt manage to pass the lorries such was the gap the opened up on these poodlers.
I know you are taught to drive to the speed of the road and not all NSL roads can be taken at 60, but bugger me, if you cant even manage 20 mph slower than the limit think about getting a bus pass!

I found it particularly galling when he did his "noise meter" test and then shouted really loudly that:ttish to work out where on that section of M6 is that they live and peep every time I drove by it? Did feel sorry for Mr and Mrs Croak though, they had been there long before the road.
a) He was measuring it stood next to the machinery, not from inside his house
b) He made that god awful scream during the interview at night and probably woke his kids up

YOU LIVE NEXT TO A MOTORWAY. DEAL WITH IT!
Two total fk-nuggets on my way to work:
1) The dozy bint in the black Mini convertible who continued to creep out into the roundabout whilst I was on it, partially blocking the exit I was trying to take. Yes, that's right, block the other exits on the roundabout even though the road you're trying to turn onto is tailed back all the way to the sod-off-massive KEEP CLEAR marker that you've just positioned the front half of your car in.
2) The fat turd who absent-mindedly stepped into the road, too busy shouting into his phone, about 6 feet in front of my moving car, and then had the audacity to give me the beans, apparently for not running him over. Next time, I think I shall.

I had an absolute smorgasboard of knobbishness on Monday evening. No less than five cyclists on the roads of central London, in dark clothes, with no lights on. Must think that being almost invisible equates to being almost invincible. I was really relieved to see one wearing hi-vis and bright lights, so it was unfortunate when that one went through three consecutive sets of red lights without paying them any heed whatsoever.
Normally there's the odd one idiot cyclist around here and there, but there was obviously something about Monday night that brought all the nutters out.
