What pisses you off the most about other drivers?

Yeah, what habits really piss you off that other drivers do? (Or don't do)

The one thing that pisses me off the most is people who don't thank you for letting them out.

not thanking you
indecsiveness
sheer stupidity
women driving
muppets in new cars that have just past their test
in fact all other drivers except maybe 10% of them.

Should of said name 1 thing that really pisses you off, you've practically covered the lot there, except maybe dick heads on the phone thinking they're cool.

people who rush to pull out in front of you (eg coming out of a side turning onto the main road)... then dawdle along just fast enough so you cant pass easily... does my bollocks

retards that sit in the outside lane, I sit in the outside lane but nothing ever passes me, if I go slow I sit behind a lorry or something.

Retards that think their car is faster so instead of pulling over they try and out accelerate you so you do the same and stay with them/gain on them then they crap it cos they are going over 100 and theres a corner I can take at well over 120 and they slam on the brakes and basically drive dangerously.

Twonks that flash and give you the wanker sign when you overtake and they are in the opposite lane comign towards you but have to wait at least a minute beofre gettign to the car.

lol at the over take....

what i find ammusing is ppl that over take when its quite busy...so they nip in front of you and get nowhere cos of the traffic....point??????????? oh you'll get somewhere 2 seconds before me now

ppl that pull up at traffic lights with their music blaring and every stops to look and u can just tekll they are embarssed cos they have stopped an look dead uncomfortable...and floor it when the lights change...ha ha

ppl tat drive up ur arse is always annoyin innit...if its dark i like to whack the rear fogs on as i put foot down...they think im breakin and slam on....whilst i drive away heh heh

agree with you on the people who sit in the wrong lane for their speed/traffic conditions.

a frequent one is people sitting in the middle lane, im in the slow lane going faster than them (because theres nothing else in my lane i can go as fast as i want).

I normally make a big show of coming right up alongside then, matching their speed, then i drop back behind, indicate, cross right over to the fast lane, overtake, then immediately indicate and cross back over the slow lane again.

middle lane drivers, they come off a slip road and go out of their way to get to the middle lane even on an empty motorway.

people who drive beyond their limits.

People who cannot drive on country lanes

Idiots that slam on their brakes when they are airbourne then go all over the shop towards you when they land

pisses em right off

probably not best to do when theres coppers about though Smile

retards that speed in 30 zones outside schools etc, I go slow where theres kids etc about, on the dual carriageways or the motorways I go double the limit sometimes but I regard that as safe.

Mr Quoter-vator Joined: 16 Feb 2004 Posts: 7405

Tailgaters. I know mentioned already, but deserves to be mentioned again because they are such utter cock faces. Especially when you are behind a load of other cars and they are sat there 3inches off your bumper.

The other type of nob are those that don't alter their speed. I drove to Stratford on Sunday, it used to be a lovely road to drive on, now there are cameras everywhere. But it goes through various zones of 30, 40, 50 and Nat. limit. This one retard in a pug 406 was driving at 40 the whole way there.

That annoys me too, it's obvious you can't go any faster but they still tailgate you the entire way.

Heres one that didn't get mentioned. Arrogant bastards who pull out with the front end of their car right over into the left lane, when they want to turn right, forcing everyone in the left lane to stop.

Slow moving vehicles (particularly caravans and old folk!) who crawl along at 35 on country lanes that are to busy or twisty to overtake on and NEVER think to pull over Rolling Eyes

& people who don't look where they're going - was nearly taken out at a mini roundabout the other day. Was following a laguna on aproach to the roundabout, can't remember if he signaled or not but very definatley made to turn left, so I went streight over (as you do - nobidy ever goes round these things) next thing I notice he's decided actually he doesn't want to turn off so swings back onto the roundabout completley oblivious to the fact I'm alongside him, fortunatley there was no-one else around so I was able to avoid him but it pissed me off no end and he never even seemed to notice Mad

How about when you're in two lane traffic and some nob decides he wants to be in your lane, and just pulls over infront of you forcing you to slam on. AND THEN... Decides "Oh I better signal" and signals after he/she has done it.

Yeah I think people not signalling is high on the most annoying list, everyone forgets sometimes but theres no excuse for what that guy did above. Complete wanker.

...but when it's someone else doing it they're always doing it deliberately to piss you off!

Reminds me of a pretty scary time when I was on the motorway in my Mini (small and vulnerable) was wanting to pull out to pass a lorry (yes you can do that kind of thing in a Mini believe it or not!)
checked my mirror, nothing there, signaled and started pulling out - suddenly there was a bloody great transit van right next to me, I absolutely shat myself - I simply didn't see it. Embarassed

now I ALWAYS look over my shoulder before I pull out.

...as you say jonnyboy - we all make mistakes!

I did that at 80mph on the M4, look in both mirrors, nothing, indicated, started pulling out and all i hear is this blaring horn, almost turned side on in to a white focus. Now I always look over my should too, damned blind spot Razz

Also, on the same trip a bloody 18 wheeler decided he wanted to change lane...seemed oblivious to the fact i was in that lane! Shocked
