There's an obvious list here, with middle lane hoggers near the top but here's my list;

  1. The front fog light users when not required.
  2. The rear fog light users when not required.
  3. The tts who approach a roundabout (more so on a mini-roundabout) and you stop to give way to them. They dont indicate and end up turning left meaning you could have proceeded instead of waiting for them. These people always get a dirty look and a shake of the head.
  4. People who park/stop facing oncoming traffic and leave their headlights lit, blinding me as i draw nearer.
  5. People who feel the need to stand in the road getting their kids in/out or messing with a child seat, door wide open, arse sticking out into the flow of traffic.
  6. And the current list leader - the tt who stays stood on the brake for a prolonged period of time at a set of red traffic lights at night, leaving me blinded again. Newer cars are terrible for this as their lights are brighter.

You've missed the most obvious: MLMs

Not that it actually annoys me anymore.

Inconsiderate behaviour and/or lack of thought.

People who as you start to pass them on the motorway suddenly and for no F***ing reason just speed off and leave you sitting in the middle lane for you to catch them up 3 minutes later and there plodding along again at around 55mph, made even worse when I'm driving a coach flat out at 62mph just trying to keep out of the way of other car drivers.

I concur, along with:

1. People who drive 40mph everywhere, holding u up on 50/60 roads and then speeding thru 30 zones.

2. People who flash as you overtake them

3. People who do 60 on a ns dual carriageway when it's 70!!

4. People who brake continuously down long hills

Millions more things , some that dont even affect me just wind me up!

Front fogs. I know it's a cliche, but it really does piss me off to an unhealthy degree.

I hate the fktards who let me out of junctions but bypass the bit where they let me know. Is a flash of lights so bd hard? It would make both yours and my journey so much better.

That is all

Or when you give them a flash of the lights to let them in, and they then take an age to get into gear and feed in.

Today the two people in the spcae of 5 minutes who didn't have a clue what lane they wanted to use on the roundabout, and decided they wanted to drive in the exact space that I was currently occupying.
And the first guy even flashed his lights at me for daring to be in the correct lane.

In fairness, flashing is a bad idea and i wont do it.

I dont want to be responsible for flashing you and saying 'its ok to go' for you then to crash. I'll give you the gap if you need it, your choice whether to take it or not.

The arrive at junction / roundabout / whatever in whatever lane is shortest then and only then actually try to get into the lane they need.

People who use the left filter lane because it's empty and cut you up to go straight on.

People who dawdle along until the lights start to change then miraculously find the accelerator to take them through an amber to red light. If you'd been going at normal speed you tcensoredt we'd all have got through

The only thing that really makes my blood boil is when you pull out to overtake and they speed up to keep you out in the oncoming.
