Annoying driving habits
Discussion
This really irritates me and happened again several times yesterday in a car with work friend .
He has this odd habit of having stopped at the lights then over several minutes will keep edging forward slightly more and more braking in between ,until almost in the incoming traffic .maybe he thinks it will make the lights turn ? but they never do
Also why does people in parking bays have to park so close and box me in for no reason
Earlier in the week I left the car in the middle of a bay and got back to find a civic about 2 inches from the drivers side .strangely there was an adult in the back of there car who just watches me struggle to get back in

Over creepers I tend to see if I can notice them, and slightly move forward but not over the line.
My record is someone virtually entirely completely across the line.
It has to be the 40 to 45 brigade everywhere. Having pulled over for one these numpties to let them by coming into a 30 I got insight into their mentality. "You keep changing your speed mate"....at the time on a road with about 4 speed limit changes, at the time I was confused to f

"Brake dabbers", if there is such a phrase, on motorways.
Yep. I've previously mentioned my father-in-law a few times in this regard on PH. He can be driving along a perfectly flat, wide, straight, multi-lane road with no junctions or other hazards in clear conditions in broad daylight with no other traffic...and he'll still dab the brakes regularly for no reason at all. It's not great following such a driver but try being a passenger with one - after a few miles the Dalai Lama himself would be screaming with frustration. I don't know if this is just a local (Cardiff) thing but the amount of people who go through red lights after they've changed at the moment winds me up.
It's almost like people have the mentality that if I've waited long enough, I'm entitled to go through on red. Very annoying if you've been waiting to turn right and are effectively stranded in the middle of the junction or your signal has gone green and you can't physically go because some entitled person has decided to go through on red.

Swing right to turn left.
Swing left to turn right.
Annoying.
This is quite a well known phenomenon, you can use it to help with your own driving, ooh look he's swinging left, he must be about to turn right, it's almost better than them putting on a indicator, gives you a warning of their intended actions. I'm sure Reg Local on here has mentioned it before as well.Swing left to turn right.
Annoying.
And one from me:
For the first turn of the steering wheel, putting your hand under the top of the wheel to turn it.
