    Its tends to be people going 20 or 30 km under the speed limit for gods knows what reason that drives me demented.

    It's almost to the stage I'm ignoring other users on a roundabout :56: I swear no one knows how to use them.


    Think a big issue on the road is also not helped by folk thinking they should be nice and let you out at junctions, roundabouts etc. please * no! Just use it correctly and I'll follow the rules too. I don't mind waiting at my junction to enter a main road, that's the rules, I don't need someone wanting to randomly be nice and stop and hold up their traffic while I'm looking the other direction only to realise they're flashing lights at me as if I'm in the wrong.

    Yeah, people trying to be a highway samaritan letting folk out at every junction but not checking their rear view to realise they've just caused a huge queue behind them for the sake of one *.

    Took the wee one to school this morning. Another wee girl on a bike had pressed the button at the crossing, it goes to the green man and then some old boy comes flying up and through the light as we had just started to walk out. Very lucky one of us didn’t get hit to be honest.

    And we wonder why insurance just gets more and more expensive. Remember when way back then we would have responsible adults that would take you to the most quiet and out of the way car park to let you try driving the car.

    Middle lane hoggers are infuriating as well.

    They are one of the main reasons for phantom traffic jams.

    Keep left unless overtaking ffs, how hard is it?

    The number of * that think the rules are just for the rest of us and not them has definitely gone up recently.
    Parking in disabled bays, driving to the front of traffic jams then just expecting to cut in, speeding all over the place- all very common these days and it really * me off.

    Double yellow lines are just a suggestion at this point. People parking on them in hospital car parks infuriate me and it usually results in vulnerable elderly people having to walk blindly into traffic in front of them.

    A hazard light isn't a universal park anywhere you want light and these * should be fined properly. Oh and pavement parkers too. I know in some tight streets people need to do this because of stupid traffic laws, but on nice open streets with plenty of parking. *.

    Lad this morning on the road on one of those electric scooters. Dressed in black, and the * was texting as he was rolling along.

    Fair-play and common safety considerations are disappearing which is exacerbated by a host of new transportation variants (e-bikes and electric trottinettes) on the road, in addition to bikes and scooters/motorcycles

    in Switzerland, illegal for example for scooters/motorcycles to drive/pass between cars/lanes but it’s rarely enforced and surely root cause of many accidents

    I’m a pretty alert driver but it’s more and more complicated on roads, even for drivers much less pedestrians

    Other day saw a delivery e-bike doing a wheelie, against traffic, down the middle of two lanes of traffic stopped at lights, a nut and no insurance. My pet hate is vans parking in middle of the street to deliver parcels while there's parking spaces they can't be arsed using, I just keep beeping until they move it and pretend to video it, which is another thing, the amount of people sending dashcam footage to police is insane, if people are risking others lives fair enough but...

    People have zero patience anymore. I was behind a learner and he stalled it a couple of times. I gave him plenty of room and just waited. Got cars behind me beeping and stuff. Literally 20 seconds out of your life while he gathers himself and gets going again. Does my head in

    I always give learners space and time, we were all there at one point and know how nervous you can get,
    Another one that gets me is the parking in car parks where they can't keep the car in the lines and ends up taking 2 spaces

    Learners always deserve space and time and * those * that give them a hard time. You see guys egos fall to pieces when a learner passes them or puts them in a position where they look soft Infront of mates.

    Some people just have their brains turn to complete mush when they step in a car although most likely act the same way at home behind closed doors.

    Great scene in film, '* bless America', the/my 'hero' comes across a * using two parking spaces, my hero asks him if he's going to park sensibly, the * says no and my hero shoots him twice in the chest, wonderful. If only life could imitate art, sometimes.

    Biggest pet peeve driving is parking and parent/child bays. As a new dad (son is 8 months) we actually need to use parent child spaces for the extra room to open the door wide enough to take child out the car and back in. You get any * parking in them with no children at all!

    Normal UK spaces are not built big enough for that unless you find two spaces side by side free. What if you are out with baby yourself and someone’s gone right next to you on baby seat side how are you meant to move the car to put the baby in, just leave him on the road!

    Hate getting stuck behind someone going 40 in a 60 zone, then they keep the same speed when they hit a 30 or 20 limit. Twats

    Love that film!

    I find it some what satisfying when some * in a Golf (who should not have anything more powerful than a Fiesta based on their driving) flies past my i40 estate only for me to be sitting smilling in their rear mirror at the next junction.
