Just one line answers, what bad driving habit annoys you most?

Drivers hogging the middle lane of a M'way is my bug bare.

Middle lane drivers annoy me, but they have a tendency to move out a lane in the early evening and stake their claim.....'I'm doing 70 no one is going to pass me!'

People who follow closely spaced nose to tail on the open road because they either don't want to overtake, or feel unable to do so. As a result they make things very difficult for others who wish to get on a bit quicker. That increase the frustration for those who are delayed, and they may end up trying a dodgy overtake as a result.

I fear this problem is becoming more widespread.

Best wishes all,
Dave.

Rudeness. You let people out of a side road, or someone pushes into a queue etc.
MLM's don't wind me up so much as that's plain stupidity.

40 in NSL areas followed by 40 maintained through villages.

People who go round roundabouts in the wrong lane and then look at you like an idiot when you beep them

Cars pulling out on me when I am driving my van. After nursing my speed and momentum for passing a lorry, I get the chance and some numpty in a eurobox decides to nip in front of me causing me to brake. Speed and momentum lost

Same applys to junctions.

Lane hoggers

Stopping to give way at empty roundabouts.

Sudden braking for lines painted on the road (old Gatso camera sites)

Local drivers that queue jump by choosing empty lane at traffic lights then push in when green light.

Rear foglights on.

Drivers not paying attention by looking in bags on passenger seat etc.

Drivers not keeping up with car in front in traffic queues.

People that drive 4-WD vehicles.


That will do for starters

People who don't indicate (esp on roundabouts)

Middle lane hoggers

Idiots who flash at you after you've overtaken them. (Now dealt with by a friendly wave making it look like you have thanked them for flashing you back in lorry style).

Yep..or the ones that do the same and then indicate right, when the lights change to green. You were going to go straight on and are now stuck behind the numpties..

You'll be pleased to know that when I'm at work, I stop such people for a one way conversation...
