People that drive at 55 mph on the motorway in amongst all the trucks that are doing 56 mph flat out! Then as you pull out to slowly overtake they speed up.

Drivers that sit right up the A**e of the vehicle in front with no intention of overtaking but making it more difficult for you having to overtake both.

People who sit in the outside lane of a dual carriageway when the inside lane is empty because they are turning right at a roundabout 5 miles away. D1cks
I like to think I'm an optimist.

Even though I am an angry person in general, and not tolerant of others at all; I am pretty chilled when driving, bizarrely.
BUT....one thing I find unacceptable is people who blow their horns when my daughter stalls her car at traffic lights. It happens quite a lot (the stalling and the horn blowing tbh). She is a learner and has fecking great big red L plates on the car! That is the ONLY time I get road rage, ever! Now those people are feckwits and I have got out of the car several times to tell them. It doesn't help my daughter's confidence, though!

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Drivers who cut across the wrong side of a road junction when turning right into a side road when they can’t see if anything is coming the other way, and then there’s the ones who stop in the middle of a wide junction wanting to turn right so no one wanting to go left can get past them

Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

Motorcyclists filtering when I’m stuck in traffic in my big slow cage!
Car drivers who don’t check their mirrors when turning, especially when I’m on a motorcycle……shockingly common and frequently terrifying. Not so bad in London cos everyone is used to bikers; in the rest of the uk it’s brutal.
Scooter riders who got an L plate for doing their CBT five times but never sat the test. You should only be allowed two CBTs and if you don’t sit the test after that you’re not using a 125 on the road. Ride like bellends.
Cyclists who don’t have driving licenses.
……My own girlfriend when she gets the keys to the Z.

Some good stuff here
One I can’t stand: you’re on cruise at a set speed, coming up on a slower driver. You pull into the next lane to overtake, and the fecker speeds up to your speed. At some point they drop off, you move back into your previous lane. A few minutes later they come past you, pull back in right front of you aaaaand slow down again… thus engaging into an annoying game of leap-frog

Four Alfa's and a Ducati later, I've turned to the dark side...
