One of my worst habits is...

[scoobmeister]

Come on.... fess up!

I'll kick off... when I'm in a hurry (and all attempts to give my journey the time it requires , and approaching a left hand turn, and traffic is coming the other way indicating they want to turn into the same road, I might leave my indicating a little late so they stay and wait rather than cutting in front of me and holding me up on the next road. Obviously, I don't do this when pedestrians are around the junction, so they know what I'm doing (even though they have the right of way blah blah)...

[Flintstone]

Mine?

Driving at speeds above the posted limit. Not too fast for the conditions you understand ;

0

[R_U_LOCAL]

Picking my nose.

What?

Oh, you mean driving habit.

Intolerance.

[Flat in Fifth]

emitting a significant greenhouse gas, and I'm not talking about what emerges from the vehicle exhaust ..

more tea vicar!

re driving, heel & toe brake gear overlap when not necessary

[bus_ter]

Using my Horn when other drivers do stupid things and piss me off! I know it's wrong to use the horn in this way, but I just find it hard not to sometimes.

[WhoseGeneration]

Not just tickling the brakes, merely to activate my brake lights.
To inform the following driver that I am slowing down, only slightly, having used acceleration sense, because there is a potential hazard ahead.
Usually on a single carriageway A road approaching junctions where road positioning doesn't give a view into the joining road(s).
So the following driver, having been a reasonably safe distance behind me, is then rapidly approaching my rear bumper.
"Well main road, priority innit".

[7db]

Obstinance.

[ph123]

Competing. Best too though.

[TripleS]

It's difficult to say. There's so many to choose from.

Best wishes all,
Dave.

[nic jones]

Left foot braking wherever possible (only when the road is empty) to make it a bit more exciting, I think it's a phase i'm slowly growing out of though...

[agent006]

My main two are:

Drving to the speed limit when it's not safe to go that fast. Already cost me one car last year.

Following too close on motorways.

[Stu R]

Inducing oversteer

[CommanderJameson]

Unnecessarily aggressive acceleration.

Obstinance.

Being a bit quick for the conditions.

[rsvmilly]

...practising my heel-and-toeing into every roundabout.

Brake/Gear overlap

hard braking down to 30 into villages (when nobody is following)

passing on the left.

[/shame]



Edited to add;

practising clutchless gear changes in loan/company cars

[Rhod]

Excessive lane chaning on Motorways in an attempt to educated the middle lane hogs.

And sticking the car into neutral too early when coming to a stop at a junction.

[tigger1]

Hopping from one-lane to another on my daily commute (knowing which lane go faster *every* day of the week on the A52!)

Using a right lane at a very large roundabout that is marked as a right turn, and then nipping across into a "straight over" lane when it is clear on the roundabout, to save queueing "needlessly" for 10 mins every day.

Sorry to anyone who sees me doing this, I know, I'm a bad bad man.

[leosayer]

Looking in my rear view mirror for too long, especially when there's a tailgater.

[LordGrover]

My favourite is similar to the OP; approaching a crossroads at which I intend to turn left, I indicate left but keep my car closer than I normally would to the car in front and to the nearside. This is so that those waiting to turn right can see my indicator and proceed as usual, but those on my right, who are waiting to 'go my way', can't, so have to wait until I've completed the turn.
Just plain selfish.

[mattrm]

When approaching large roundabouts putting it in to neutral, letting the clutch out and then basically coasting to the roundabout. Mainly due to driving in MK, and getting used to arriving at roundabouts at speed, with lots of people going over them, that way I don't have to work my way down the box. Learnt it from my Father, who I think got the idea from an advanced driving course. Not sure.

Otherwise being a bit insecure/not confident and having awful road positioning. Esp in my new car, which is much bigger and has power steering, so is a bit twitchy (well compared to a non-power steering car it is).

[WeirdNeville]

Gear to neutral, then handbrake on.
Overestimating my own abilities.
Driving to impress (often myself, sometimes others).
Making manouvers not because they're necessary, but because I can....
