Most self righteous road users?
That'll be me then, when it comes to lane discipline.
Lanes to your left empty? Then feckin' well use them. I have zero tolerance for the
s! Summary roadside execution, even if it was a member of my family, I'd be volunteering to pull the trigger!

Taxi drivers are just tts (normal I suppose given their miserable job, so I don't blame them at all). Of the others it's got to be cyclists and motorcyclists. Even as a biker I get pissed off listening to others whinge on about SMIDSYs and how they should be given free everything etc etc when in fact most travel waaaay too fast for conditions (then go ballistic when they get pulled out on - hey! people don't expect dheads to be going 80 in a 30!

Not all but some cyclists are really winding me up. Riding down the middle of the road leaving no room to pass or (like last night) riding straight into the road from the pavement, without warning not looking and leaving a nice dent in my wing and sctrach across me bonnet. Thankfully he was OK and admitted he didnt look and it was his fault.
Cyclists - but specifically, the type of humourless cyclist who rides like a pillock but thinks that because he's on a bike it somehow absolves him of all blame. I don't ride like that.
I wish I could add my own category - drivers who hate cars and driving and see anyone enjoying themselves in a thing and a place they hate and fear as something to get apocalyptically self-righteous about. They get self-righteous about the miserable, hair-shirted status they attach to motoring and the fact you don't subscribe to it angers them intensely.

Yeah, I don't really get cyclists either. I've commuted to work by bicycle and car over the years and when you're on a bike everything around you can kill you (be it motorbike, car or even stray pedestrian if you get knocked under a car by one), and as such cyclists tend to ride through traffic like a fox might walk past a chicken farmer with a loaded gun!
I voted without a shadow of a doubt for a particular group of people. However, that group includes many of my friends so I can't say what it was!
All I'll say is that about three quarters of them are fine, but the rest think they own the road and are the most arrogant self righteous bunch of idiots I've come across.
