Sorry if this is a repost, but I came across an article that lists the top ten apparently most hated driving habits and types of drivers.

The top ten hated driving habits are:

10)Being slow away from traffic lights
9)Fast-lane hogging
8)Undertaking
7)Hesitant driving
6)Dangerous late-braking
5)Middle-lane hogging
4)Jumping traffic lights
3)Dangerous overtaking
2)Failure to indicate
1)Tailgating

The top ten hated drivers are:

10)Drivers with caravans
9)Foreign lorry drivers
8)Taxi and mini cab drivers
7)School run mums
6)Sunday drivers
5)White van man
4)The aspiring dj (person who plays their music too loud)
3)The driver who shows off
2)Drivers who don't say thanks
1)Boy racer


What are your most hated drivers and/or habits?

To be honest I'm surprised people on the phone wasn't listed, as that has to be my most hated, especially the ones that approach a round a bout and don't indicate as they are too busy on their damn phone furious....

Also mods is it not possible to create a poll? I couldn't see an option to create one and would be interested in seeing what people on here hate the most

I haven't been here long enough smile

What would that be?

edit: Ah foglights lol, yeah they can be annoying, not as annoying as those who put their full beams down country lanes, which is fine but they don't turn them off when they see another car...

Foglight, and more recently DRL wkers are my pet hate, I make sure I flash everyone (with my headlights) for a couple of seconds because I'm a 7ft 20stone goatee wearing thug and frankly I just don't give a fk wink

^^ This is my most hated thing - it's the outside lane, not the 'fast lane'.

8)Undertaking
I wonder if this is specifically hated by people who are undertaken? Surely they are the outside lane hoggers. Or is it by other drivers observing people undertaking and are they the hesitant drivers?..

So you're just an average PHeader then?

Add anybody in a Kia Picanto the list. So many of them have been out to ruin my day. I think somebody must have posted my name and number plate on the Picanto owners club website...

Not everyone voted, only the people polled. Anyway those that didn't put tailgating at no.1 could be tailgaters

If someone is hogging the outside lane with nothing in the next inside lane, I'll drive up their arse until they pull over. Does that make me a tailgater?

Yes. Why not just undertake?
