Drivers who don't use main beams on A-Roads in the dark

Drivers of late 90's Korean cars

VW Golf Plus drivers

Ford Fiesta Fusion drivers

All of the above get my Bad Driving Alarm flickering, gets my observation keener than usual, and gets my right leg primed for some beefy brake action.

Others?

Baby on board stickers and young blonde girls with tons of make up. In both cases the drivers tend to be more interested in 20 other things before the act of driving.

Peckham/Croydon specials - badly repaired junk like old Hyundai's/Astras/toyotas driven with a unique interpretation of the highway code - always give a wide berth and be prepared for any manoeuvre at any moment!

Not really fair to leave out the Addison Lee Toyota Prius drivers though is it? In fact, anything with "Private hire" sticker on the back window in London should be rounded up in the same class.

People nipping in and out of lanes to get a couple of cars ahead or knock off 5 seconds off their journey

The usual rep mobile cars, insisting on getting everywhere quicker than everybody else.

and a new one, citroen picasso's a couple of years old. Seem to be popular with the average scrote who has no idea about driving. Seriously, next time you see them have a little look.

Finally, people who are always on there brakes, screams bad anticipation of hazards.

Hesitancy and clear lack of confidence = Driver that one would do well to avoid, leave plenty of space.

Renault scenic, Citroën Picasso, family MPV - either driven very slowly or very aggressively.

Taxis/Cabs - either driven beautifully or shockingly badly... Assume the latter to be safe.

Renault Scenic is also a very good fkwit magnet. 9 times out of 10 will have at least one brake light out as well

I smoke in the car, and still drive to the speed limit. And use my indicators. And use the correct lanes. And don't hog the middle lane.

Aftermarket xenon headlights or those stupid LED strips that a Scenic near me has put on his bumpers!
