boy racers speeding off at the lights and arrogant sports car drivers all cause upset on the road
Pathetic, no doubt these are people who pull away from lights changing up gear at 1500rpm and suffer the green eyed monster whenever they see someone who has a better car than them. I've calmed down from what I was like in my youth, but the one thing that really, really f
ks me off no end is when people don't at least acknowledge you when you have stopped to let people onto your side of the road to get past parked cars on theirs. Made even more infuriating when they misread the gap and you have to slow down/emergency stop for them to get back on their side of the road and they just drive past, completely oblivious to what they've done. 90% of the time it's a middle to old aged woman behind the wheel of the other car.

Late brakers? If they weren't so fecking close in to the car in front to begin with this wouldn't really cause any stress, just mild irritation.
Also they blame 'other motorists' most people should probably look at their own driving style before blaming everyone else.
Lack of indication and impolite people I give way to are top of my list.

Dear Hoddy910,Overtaking within the speed limit is a useful, legitimate, highway code sanctioned action.
Overtaking above the speed limit falls into the category of "doing something you shouldn't be doing in order to gain an advantage over everyone else". It therefore pisses people off.
What possible part of that do you find numptyish or difficult to understand?

Just shows that the people who dont like 'late brakers' are just driving to the car in front rather than looking ahead. If they were driving propely, they would already be on the brakes.Also they blame 'other motorists' most people should probably look at their own driving style before blaming everyone else.

I despair about the average British driver. As I do most days...
My one pet hate is people that do one speed regardless of the limit/ conditions (Usually 40mph)
60mph limit on a dry day with good visibility? "Nah I'll do 40"
30mph limit on a wet day with dense fog "Nah I'll do 40"
It just represents a complete and utter lack of understanding when it comes to adapting your driving to the challenges/restrictions placed upon you.

That's where your fundamental outlook on life is flawed. You'd be a far nicer person if you got that out of your head.You contend that choosing to disregard the speed limit it times when you know you can get away with it is not giving you an advantage? I can see two big advantages.
1. You'd get everywhere quicker
2. It would be great fun
I would like to buzz past everyone, but I don't because I know we have limits for a reason. It's annoying when other people don't hold them self to the same standard - and they are gaining the two advantages stated above. Seems very simple to me.
Where is the flaw in the logic?
