Things other road users do that drive you crazy!
Discussion
Probably been covered before but I'm in mood for a rant, so feel free to join me in sharing the things other road users do that really annoy you. I will get the ball rolling with a few:
- Drivers who black out front windows and think you can't see them on their phone when they pull out without seeing you.
- Drivers who use their fog lights what ever the weather.
- Drivers who darken their headlights or black out rear lights and indicators... It never makes the car look better, just makes you a dangerous selfish wker!
Any more...

Drivers who sit in lane 2 and can't keep a constant speed. 60, 70, 80, 75, 60, 80, 85 and etc.
Sit in lane 2, that is fine with me and I couldn't care less but not maintaining the constant speed makes it the inconvenience there.
Also who the hell are these people that you pull out into lane 2 and they come speeding right up behind you and sit on your bumper, you mvoe back to lane 1 and they go past when lane 3 was empty all that time

Lane 3 is for dangerous drivers, obviously. LolSit in lane 2, that is fine with me and I couldn't care less but not maintaining the constant speed makes it the inconvenience there.

I'm constantly amazed at the number of people who do this. It almost gets embarrassing when you're doing a constant speed and keep having to pass the same car because they're doing -10 to +10mph around your speed all the time. benjijames28 said:

There should be laws against all of those!- Drivers who black out front windows and think you can't see them on their phone when they pull out without seeing you.

Very badly enforced laws. Better to stick a man in a bush with a speed gun on a nice straight open clear road.Oh, wait a sec.
Not that I am endorsing driving above the speed limit, just pointing out this takes priority over people driving around at night with limo tint front windows, blacked out indicators and of course only their solitary working fog light to illuminate the road ahead.
Imagine the scenario; you're driving along a dual carriageway sticking to the limit, with the cruise control set. You're in the outside lane and passing a steady stream of trucks etc. when you notice someone gaining on you in your rear view mirror. Because you're not a selfish, lane hogging moron, you think somehting along the lines of "If I pull into the gap between those two trucks, the person behind can overtake and we'll both be on our way." There's enough of a gap in the inside lane that you shouldn't even have to disengage the cruise control.
What happens next? You pull in to let the guy behind past and he repays the favour by driving up alongside you, reducing his speed and sitting there, preventing you from moving out again and causing you to have to brake down to 56 mph behind the vehicle in front. Unthinking numpties, the lot of them.
Also, those who do 65mph uphill and 75 down the other side, causing you to have to repeatedly fiddle with the cruise control. Why can't people just choose a fking speed and stick to it? It's not that fking difficult!

Sitting at traffic lights with foot on brake blinding the person behind.
Is it so difficult to apply the handbrake or the electric switch modern cars come with?
Never understood this one. Brake lights are not that bright ime. Full beams on the other hand, Jesus wept!Is it so difficult to apply the handbrake or the electric switch modern cars come with?
My pet hate at the moment is people jumping on the brakes and then making a turn. Zero indication given as to their intent, or maybe a quick flick of the indicator as they complete their manoeuvre. Because that makes it all okay!
