For me today it's people making a sharp turn who indicate one way but do a quick swerve the opposite way at the start of their manoeuvre. The pivot point of your car is the back wheels, F$%^tards. It's really not that hard.
Normally the same f
k nuggets who think to turn right you have to move to the left of your lane.They all need dragging out of their cars & kicking in the face.

Do you think that when you watch Formula 1? Bunch of idiots taking the racing line... 
Here's one.
I'm turning right on a 4-way roundabout.
Lets call the exits 0 (where I'm coming from), 1 (to turn left), 2 (straight ahead) and 3 (where I want to go).
My exit, 3, is dual-carriageway. I can, therefor select lanes 1 or 2 as I see fit when exiting the roundabout. By default I would select lane 1 of course.
So many times, some utter w*nker is turning left from exit 2 and will not give way to me, expecting, nay DEMANDING, that I select lane 2 to let them out. Their attitude seems to be, "there's room for both of us here, so I'm going!"
Worse, I have to assume they're not actually turning left at all, and might just continue right across the front of me, so I have to practically stop on the roundabout until I'm sure they're going left into lane 1, and then take lane 2, assuming I haven't just been rear-ended for stopping on a roundabout.
F*cking STOP IT!

This happens every day to me. The roundabout is quite large and passes through two tunnels for a motorway junction. 'exit 2' as you described, is quite wide, and often cars coming from there and turning left to 'exit 3' won't even slow down, acting like it's a merge lane and ignoring the give-way line.I'm turning right on a 4-way roundabout.

Additionally, I'll pass cars waiting to enter the roundabout from 'exit 1' and they'll accelerate into lane 1 the moment I've passed them, essentially undertaking me and giving me no chance to get into lane 1 for my exit.
The trouble is, traffic from exits 1 and 2 are now in lane 1 of the dual carriageway, and I'm stuck in lane 2. The DC is short and there's a another tiny roundabout about 200 metres down where I have to turn left. None of the cars that pushed there way into lane 1 will give way to me, even if I indicate for the full 200 metres, they all just bunch together towards the little roundabout.
Many times, I actually have to stay in lane 2, and do a loop of the little roundabout to effectively turn left at it! At which point, cars that were in lane 1 don't expect me to be making a full circle and inevitably pull out on me!
It's a f
king nightmare

x 1000I'm a bus driver and I've taken corners without straddling/even moving to the right of the lane, why the HELL do you need to do it in a small hatch!!!! Grrr

I see your point, as you cannot see the left flashing indicators from people coming out of exit 2, as they are on the blind side.I'm turning right on a 4-way roundabout.

Also, pulling out on somebody indicating to exit the roundabout is a little bit dumb.
But, if you consider that people going straight over from exit 1 to exit 3, will also be aiming for lane 1 (via the outside lane of the roundabout), you now have a three-way dash for lane 1.

What kind of idiot does that to their car and doesn't reverse park into a space so others can
see around it? If your children are that ugly or you have something worth hiding buy a
van. Oh, yes the driver wore sunglasses as well so that goes a long way to explaining things. Reverse parking with blacked out windows and sunglasses is a Darwinian disaster waiting to happen.

Ok... first dealer was responsible for all the points above the one you quoted, so for the next service I took the car to be serviced at another/second dealership which was all fine and well. When collecting the car I was asked to confirm my details (address etc.) which oddly seemed to currently have the details of first dealership associated with my reg number rather than my own details (I'd only given my name and mobile number to second dealer before collecting the car). Thought nothing of it until I get an angry call from the first dealership who probably thought I'd given their details to the second dealer to piss them off or something... :facepalm: f
king muppets. Thing is I think there might have been a number of other cars on second dealers database (no idea if database is dealer only or for all dealers of the marque) with first dealers details associated with them, so I wonder how many calls they'll get from second dealer saying 'their car is ready to be collected' before they twig...Yeah I know cool story bro etc. etc.

Had a similar encounter this morning, only the dizzy bint was driving a bright yellow vauxhall adam. Similar road manners though, to busy faffing with something down by her side (phone/ipod etc) to notice traffic was slowing down approaching the bridge, one emergency stop later she finished up 3 inches off the back bumper of a very nice (and expensive looking) 7 series BM. A quick under take later and she was passed him and sitting up the exhaust pipe of the micra in front whilst still fiddling with something.- Aggressive tailgating
