People who overtake doing 1mph faster than you, and then decide its a good idea to sit in your blind spot for the duration of the 3 days its taking them to overtake!

Middle laners is another biggie
Mobile phones while driving
People Not maintaining a constant speed on the motorway
People who think their large vehicle entitles them to push through, no you will wait your turn!

Anyone driving aToyota Prius. I just hate that pile of s**t so much it makes me want to kill the driver as you just know they're going to be some eco, lefty, trendy, obnoxious knob.

I heard one up close on the weekend.
Made me laugh a bit, sounds like a pylon on a damp cold morning.
They're a bit... questionable to put it nicely.

Honestly?

For me, it's people who get so worked up as to post on an internet forum their subjective assessment of an individual based on the car he/she drives.

It's pathetic.
wow, bet your a hoot at parties..

it was intended to be a topic of discussion rather than a rant so it seems that your the one getting 'so worked up'

Ooh! Good one - worthy of a thread on it's own I think.

Big daft kiddie-fiddler MPVs - "daddy cool" my arse! - do always seem to be driven with "attitude" on the motorway, the blokes driving them seem to be full of pent-up fury, they must show everyone that the horrible van that their big fat heifer of a sprog-popping wife made them buy can hack it with the base Germans in the "fast lane". Ghastly vomit

Why is that wrong? People can drive what they like and due to the lack of "nice" cars produced in britain it's not suprising people drive american cars because they stand out from all the eurobox "boring" cars we have in Britain, It's no different to driving a German car in britain is it???

Last year I someone filling up yikes a 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville - concourse condition black one. It was the biggest car I have ever seen - you could have parked a eurobox on his boot lid. It was like something out of the Jetsons - tinted curved glass, rocket launcher fins etc. I definitely didn't think the guy was a knob. It was amazing.

Agree with that actually. A few months back I was driving a Berlingo Multispace did that put me in a whole different category to me driving an M5 or a 911? No it just meant I was driving something else.

my2.5 turbo s-max is probably quicker than most of the repmobiles and 3 series,who`s owners think they have got something special because it says bmw on the bonnet.

Cars with stickers showing which track the piece of st it is stuck to has been hurled round= knob driver.

Big 4X4 type vehicles, which clearly are never taken off road and are driven by fk wits in a world of their own. They're difficult vehicles to drive without looking like a knob, so I'm not surprised so many struggle with that.
