...when you come up behind them. You know, the ones which you instantly recognise as you round a bend and spot it in the distance infront of you. The ones which it goes without saying will be driven poorly/slowly/erratically and in a manner to impede your sensible, but legal progress. When you get up behind them all the tell-tale signs are there to confirm you initial expectations, from the sitckers which adorn its rear or the items which are strewn across the parcel shelf (you know the ones I mean).

Which cars do it for you?

For me there are many, but the worst offenders of late have been Toyota Yaris Versos (and other ugly, tall little cars), Nissan Micras and a spate of Skoda Yetis.

Crewcab 4 x 4s, older Vectras, or Mondeos with tape holding the bumpers together. Extra points if a hi-viz can be seen.

Usually drive jerkily, fast when slow would be good, slow when fast would be good, and react extremely badly if you try and overtake.

Another vote for the Honda Jazz. Also the Vauxhall Agila and whatever the Suzuki variant of it is called.

Basically any car which isn't being driven by me. hehe
