Other Driver's Irritating Habits
Discussion
On Pistionheads we are all driving gods but some of the driving seen on the roads is a bit annoying to say the least.
In no particular order from the last couple of days.
The driver who is doing the usual 33-34 in a 30 then slows to an indicated 24mph past the speed camera.
The driver who in quiet traffic with only me behind him stopped at a standstill halfway round a roundabout to cede priority to someone entering from the next road coming in. Why he wouldn't just go round and get out the way I have no idea.
Drivers taking 5 seconds to start moving on a green light because their phone is more important.
Using the hazards instead of the left indicator when pulling in to stop on the left so you have no idea what manouver they are planning.

Motorway or any kind of dual carriageway, Police car in N/S lane, everyone else going past at 5mph under the speed limit.
People not knowing that you can go right into a side road at a traffic light controlled junction, when the lights ahead of you are red, you are not going through them so it is fine, this invariably blocks people that are wanting to come out of said junction to go right, drives me mad!!

I refer to the "hazard" kings as "guess where I'm going next".
Add to that, the drivers who think that 20 means + 10 on the limit ( on roads where PCSO can find more time to speed check than patrol), and are that close to your rear end that they could [polish rear window. failure to indicate ( increasing more common on a certain make of continental car). Then there's the ( usually ) old dear who approaches a roundabout/ give way where there's plenty of sighting to the right and insists on stopping on the approach to be certain some vehicle has not done a vertical landing into the lane she's about to enter.
Or brake light Bertie or Belinda, who thinks there driving a wider car and brakes on sight of an approaching car, or the same type who cannot judge the severity of a bend and slows way down halfway down.

Not using indicators on roundabouts.
Middle lane morons who stick there for miles and miles whilst day dreaming.
Drivers who brake at absolutely everything.
(Contraversial) staying religiously a few mph under the speed limit. It is OK to go a few mph over, especially at 5am when going to work and there's nothing about.
