things drivers do that irritate the fuck out of you

[sparkling]

Drivers who drive up so close behind they are all almost having anal sex with me.

Drivers who do not indicate and drivers who beep me for no explainable reason....well none that I am aware of anyway seeing as I am the perfect driver.

I am driven physcotic (sp?) by the sound of a car horn used inappropriately.

Yeah - drivers who use their horns - in or out of a car I give them a, "do that again and I'll insert your horn where your head used to be" look - I then let them pass

If a driver behind me beeps - while I'm on the bike waiting for a chance to enter a roundabout, for example, then I look behind me and ask what they want.

A coach was doing this a while ago. every time it looked like a space for me to go was coming up the fuckwitted driver would beep his horn and I'd look behind to see what he wanted and missed the gap in the traffic. this happened 3 times until the driver really lost his temper - and I learned lots of new eastern european swear words. In return, I taught him lots of English ones.

Something else - drivers who zoom up inside lanes (in city centres) just to cut in a few cars down. Are these people so desparate to get into work and lick their boss's arse they have to do this?!?!

a guy doing this killed a motorcyclist in our area recently. Zoomed up an inside lane and didn't notice the parked cars on that lane, swerved straight into the other lane and killed the biker.

On the way home yesterday (around 5:30) I saw a guy pull out of a queue - scooter was coming down the middle and, literally, brushed along the side of the whole car. Luckily the scooter guy stayed up. The car guy then zoomed down the wrong side of the road, pulling over onto the pavement. When he got out, he was delivering an Indian takeaway - the twat

I try to be pretty cool about most things while driving. But Mrs D tends to be a bit aggressive. She even failed one of her driving tests for seven counts of speeding!

how old is mrs d? i used to drive fast and angry when i first passed my test and i became relaxed the older i got. more confident behind the wheel also.

If I indicate on multi lane traffic that I wish to switch lanes (cycling) I usually find that the car behind me accelerates to make sure its in front of me -

As a cyclist I have learnt to expect a series of cars overtaking me once a large vehicle has done so also if I look over my shoulder. I even removed my bar-end mirror because it seemed to encourage dangerous overtaking. I find I do best looking as if I'm totally unaware of traffic - my large headphones help - though I am actually fully aware of the traffic - I have been known to wobble a bit to enhance the illusion.

not indicating

As a pedestrian, I find it really irritating when the traffic's moving really slowing in a built up area, and they drive forward a a few feet so that they are parked on a crossing, and then the green man starts flashing and some tosser's car is right in front of you so you have to go round them and walk into the road itself 'cos you can't use the crossing 'cos some fuckwit's parked on it.

Why do people do that? I mean, it's not like you're going to get there any faster is it? The car in front of you is in a line of stationary traffic, you can't go forward, so why not just wait behind the line until there's enough space ahead of the crossing for your vehicle?
