folk who pull out into the fast lane half a mile from the slow moving traffic and don't bother looking in their mirrors to see all the fast moving traffic now stuck behind them.
Or folk that sit in the outside lane when there's nothing in the slow lane. You flash to let them know you're approaching and they just sit their pointing at the speed limit. If you want to observer the limit, do it in the slow lane FFS.

yeah it does annoy me when a car pulls out when they obviously have no chance of gaining upto 30mph b4 I have to brake, but what annoys me even more (happened this lunch time) is 400yds up the road a set of traffic lights and they turn amber and they are almost through the lights they slam on the anchors and stop dead thus stopped me getting through too.
normally I wouldnt mind some1 doing that but when they have the ***** to pull out in front of me and cause a danger then they have the guts to be "safe" driver and not go through an amber light arrrggghhhh thus causing more dangers of people going into the back of them.

people who moan about the fact that someone else is moaning that other people cant drive.
truth is.. it appears over half of the uk drivers cant drive properly. very rarely do i sit behind a car who doesn't make a single error during a journey

I travel from Bracknell to Feltham down the M3 every day. If i sit in the inside lane (except for the bit where its M25 traffic only), and overtake if I have to and pull back in, I can make progress faster than any vehicle in the middle or outside lane.
I have given up flashing and weaving in and out and just undertake, staying at the speed of the traffic in my lane in front and behind me.
Dave
P.S. One thing that pi55es me off is when people say they will call back and dont.

Getting splattered by a road gritter, on a narrow road, at a combined speed in excess of 80 mph.
Smackin some pr1ck, and losing your watch.
Having a dump and realising there is no bog roll.
Diggin holes when the ground is frozen.
Customs and excise.
Kidda's.
Being blown away by a Saxo.
Listening to p1ssheads waffle.
Spraying shaving mouse under my arms.
Using a blade, when she has used it to trim the tree.
Toilet attendants, "after shave sir?", "**** off, did you see me have a shave?"
Crime Watch.
People who wear phones around their necks.
People who talk about work on Christmas nights out.
When people die for no apparent reason.
I could go on........but its boring.

Current favourite for me is people who pull up at petrol pumps, go and get some cash from the cash point, go into the shop to buy a pint of milk/paper and then return to the car without getting petrol, taking up space at thepumps instead of parking somewhere else on the forecourt.

Gareth,
Yes, but that's the fault of the roadside shops that do small sideline selling petrol for that is what they have become.
I must admit that I get really pissed off when I put petrol in and then have to queue behind half a dozen saddos waiting to put their lottery ticket on when they don't realise they've more chance of being mown down crossing the road (I wish) in the few days left before the lottery draw than they actually have of winning the damned thing.

People who send me text messages expecting a reply. I have not got time to use the stupid fiddly little keypad to reply to people who can't be bothered to ring me.
The best ones are when someone sends a text that says "Ring me" That is when I make an exception and simply text them back with "No".

Understand where you are coming from Tiggers, they just always seem to choose the one Optimax pump to park up at (although there are more of them now), when there is plenty of space to park up away from the pumps.
Lottery queue always gets me when I'm in a hurry too

People that drive Daewoo Matiz sized cars but don't know the width of it so drive down the middle of the road (causing you to give way) because they don't want to clip their wing mirrors [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
Don't they realise that they could drive with their passenger door wide open and still not clip a parked car [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
