People who immediately go from the slip road to the outside lane and overtake you, rather than hanging back and doing it in 2 maneuvers. Normally without using their indicators.

Almost learned this the hard way many years ago as a youngster. Sweeping manoeuvre from slip road to lane 2 narrowly missing a car already in that lane. Fortunately they'd already anticipated my stupidity and backed off accordingly, required nothing more from them than a withering shake of their head for me to learn my lesson.

Or the reverse - the utter 'tards who stay in lane 3 trying to overtake one more car before their exit, then sweep across 3 or more lanes with about 50 meters to go before the junction. Reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKNQG6pSYig

If there was a justification for using cameras to penalise morons - those two scenarios are top 5. IMHO

And the other one, usually found where lane 1 (or lanes 1&2) of a motorway lead to a filter / slip road. Think of the point where the M40 Southbound joins the M25, Lane 1&2 of the M40 go to the M25, 3&4 continue towards London. There's a similar scenario on the M40 at the A34 junction, where Lane 1 is 'exit only'. Needless to say, some utter numpties think that queuing isn't for them. Which is great until they get to the point where they *have* to cut in to the traffic in the filter lane that isn't moving. It's not unusual on a Monday morning to find one or more utter 'tards sitting stationary in lane 3 of the M40 trying to get into the solid traffic that isn't moving towards the M25. FFS, it's a busy period, perhaps these stupid, inconsiderate w****rs could learn not to block everyone else due to their own sense of self importance.

When I commuted a regular route, I notices the same car/drivers doing st like that every day.
(Even though it is the PH thing to assume they were lost/made a one-off mistake),

People who are already halfway crossing into your lane and then decide the indicator comes on like it makes a difference, s.

HGV driver behind me earlier who thought I was going too slowly so held his horn down to 'wake me up' I guess.

Traffic was slow due to Lane 1 being closed due to Police. Dual Carriageway so NSL speeds and 2 lanes. I'm in L2 going ~35 same as car in front. Car in front passes hazard so puts his foot down. The car I was driving isn't as quick to pull away so I'm accelerating, HGV driver behind just holds the horn down whilst we pass the hazard.

Uhh. I'm not rubbernecking mate. I'm trying to drive here. Plus where's your consideration for the people standing in L1 like melons?

When the car eventually got it's act together I was gone, he was never to be seen again. Idiot.

If you’re holding up hgv’s in any modern car you deserve some abuse imo.

But he was speed matching the car in front, who presumably was speed matching the front of him, because of a lane closed by the Police. I'd guess he was likely pissed at having to slow, as he has 18 odd gears to get through to get back up to NSL.

Exactly this.
Every vehicle was slow due to having to merge into L2 before the incident. I’m speed matching the car in front. He starts to accelerate and as I’m just about to do so I get horn blasted by the HGV.

Not like I could go any faster as there’s a car in front. Not like you can go any faster because I’m in front. And I don’t want to be going this slow so when the car drops gears I’ll get on with it. Guess that’s the trouble with autos - never as prepared as a manual car driver.

If you don't have the patience to respect others on the road be they pedestrians, dog walkers, joggers, cyclists, mopeds, motorcyclists, pensioner drivers, horse box towers or even caravanists or whoever in whatever other mode of transport other than your little centre of the universe on wheels...


...you are the problem.

bullst. Well, it depends what you mean by respect. if you mean not endanger, not interfere with the progress of, etc then yea fine. If you mean you need to piddle along behind someone going far slower so as to not upset them, then that view can take a fking hike.

Judging by the manner of their motion & the rapidity of their obvious indignation when challenged I'm convinced many of the sort exampled take a vindictive delight in deliberately inconveniencing others, thus I have difficulty in being respectful.

Anyone with a 'The closer you drive, the slower I go' sticker gets my heckles up immediately.

One such belligerent moron I've experienced was down to 20mph in a clear 40mph limit, vehicles stacking up behind him, yet managed to find the accelerator pedal when any overtake was attempted, and felt it necessary to take up both entrance lanes to a RAB to stop others getting past

The people who are regular major contributors on the numberplate thread.

They jot down numbers all day just to post them in there. Pathetic.

LarkGTR something or other is the main one. The trouble he goes to, to post so many is worrisome. He must carry a notepad around with him.

And not forgetting jaguar Steve who conflates a mis-spaced plate with all manner of law breaking/societal problems.

Not sure if serious. (Can't be arsed to find the relevant picture, your comment is such utter, utter tosh).

But not as pathetic as those people who think that their illegal chav plate ‘says something’.

The utter bellend just outside Ringwood hants, yesterday. I'm trying to join the busy A31 from the A338 at the roundabout just outside Ringwood. As usual its blocked and I am 3/4 way round the roundabout but cant go any further due to queue on slip road ahead. Heeding the "keep clear" signs on the road, I signal for a guy in a Mondeo to proceed (he is trying to exit from Ringwood). Just as Mondeo man is about to move off, guy in a Seat Ibiza careers around the outside of me, through the small gap I left for those trying to get onto the roundabout... he then veers right as if going to Salisbury and then back onto the queuing slip road, pushing past two queuing cars before barging his way in.

Absolute bellend. Pretty much finished off for me what had also been a massively annoying 22 mile journey home after I waited 30 mins at the Salisbury Park and ride for a bus that never appeared!!!

Caught up with said bellend a mile on. Young chap with girlfriend in car. I wonder if she was impressed or cringeing with embarrassment at his awful driving?! Showing my age, I swore under my breath something about f'ing millenials and continued on my way!!!!

Driving a minibus up the A3 just north of Portsmouth last night at about 65mph, overtake a van, check n/s mirror, see van lights and start moving back to inside lane. I'm about 200 yards short of an exit. As I move over I hear a motorcycle horn and a sports bike comes past inside me at warp factor 11 and exits at the junction. I assume the wave of the riders arm was not to thank me for not wiping him out. It quite shook me up as I was diligently checking mirrors and had absolutely no sight of him prior to this.
