Things drivers do that make you go ummm!

[Chippie]

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

That’s definitely up there, I had one last year, young chap sat I the middle lane doing about 65, I went past him cruise set at 70 and pulled back in a few cars in front, next thing he comes flying past me doing 90 plus, 10 minutes later I pass him again, then repeat 3 or 4 times.

Only from experience of them being stuck up my arse

That's what you get for doing 60 in the middle lane.

That is the problem as well, there is no middle lane in Devon

In cruise coming up behind slow traffic, indicate to pull into middle lane but no one lets me out. I have to brake. It's no wonder people sit in the middle lane.

Drivers who stick obediently to the newly imposed 20 m.p.h. speed limit newly imposed here in Wales, and then not speed up again after they've re-entered a 30 / 40 m.p.h. stretch of road....... before another 20 m.p.h. sign appears all too soon and in most cases for no apparent reason.

Join the club mate - frustrating as hell

Yes I have to confess, I am one of those drivers on my recent trip to South Wales. Not knowing the area, trying to navigate, keep to the stupid 20 mph zones and my wife giving me her directions. Just kept to 20 to be on the save side.

Apologies for going slightly off topic but, Would be interesting to know if the MPG for those in Wales takes a big hit from having to drive in so many 20 mph limits

[Roberltd2]

That's a good suggestion. Unfortunately I don't think I will be able to contribute any useful statistics because, if there isn't one of Drakeford's yes people in front of me I will be driving in accordance with the laws set out many decades ago using what used to be called "common sense"

[ronk]

"common sense"

That’s an oxymoron as it’s (sense) not that common!

This happens a lot and, while halfwit, tempted to pay back when their turn to try overtake. Read stories on papers about drivers playing this with an unmarked police, though. So, ends up behaving in an adult way, tailgating and flashing.

Tractor drivers that don't pull over.

Tractor drivers that don't pull over.

Good one. Same for caravans and campers, especially on single-track roads like on the NC500. Spent 10 miles behind a caravan that shouldn’t even be there according to the signs crawling along at 15-20 miles an hour, annoying every single oncomer by not using the lay-by’s

[pvr]

They probably thought they were in Wales

Implausible…
