In approximate but by no means fixed order of shitness, worst first:
Off road motorcyclists
Ahem, horse and trappists
Minicab drivers
Black cab drivers
White van drivers
Caravanners and the like
Minibus drivers
Pheasants
Luxury car owners
Boy racers
School runnists
Citroen Picasso/Zafira/etc owners - see also 'angry dad'
The elderly, Honda Jazzers and so on
Budget cyclists
Lycra louts
Scooterists
Bus drivers
HGV drivers, a certain spectrum of respectable car brand owners, the majority of motorcyclists and the proper police are generally OK.

i can't. i'm impressed that you know what a Citreon Picasso looks like, and that you can also surmise the type of person who might drive one.Of course, who can't? Did you never have one of these?
I know what a hearse looks like, and I know what an ambulance looks like, but I can't even tell what a van's supposed to look like.
I can tell the odd individual car is, I suppose, esp if it has an ornament on the bonnet, but generally, no, i can't tell them apart.

there's another thread recently in which it was revealed to me that there are more than one type of van - i thought they were just the little white ones with no seats in the back, but apparently loads of other sized and shape vehicles are called vans

Okay, I can see where you're coming from, and there might be some gray areas at both ends of the spectrum (small commercial vehicles that could be classed as a car, and very large vans that could be mistaken for a small truck/ lorry) but if you see the dictionary definition of a van, namely a Ford Transit-sized vehicle (which is not particularly small by the way), surely you would identify it as nothing but a van?

Yeah, Orang Utan tried to mock me, suggesting it was hilarious that I thought the a-team drive about in a van. Until someone pointed out that everyone, even the a-team referred to it as a van.

I dunno. That's where I got stuck. I thought that was probably a van, but it clashes with my mental pic of a van.Okay, I can see where you're coming from, and there might be some gray areas at both ends of the spectrum (small commercial vehicles that could be classed as a car, and very large vans that could be mistaken for a small truck/ lorry) but if you see the dictionary definition of a van, namely a Ford Transit-sized vehicle (which is not particularly small by the way), surely you would identify it as nothing but a van?

That's your base definition of a van. Vehicles significantly larger or smaller might or might not fall under a different category.
It is a rather trivial matter, but then again one day you might be witness to or involved in an incident with a commercial vehicle, so it'd probably not hurt to know how to describe it accurately.

Well, as it happens, I was once the only witness to a fatal RTA, and I was quizzed by the cops about it. The detective had to explain to me what a hatchback was.

But fuck that, why swot up on something you have no interest in?
A Dad with two kids, suddenly decide to cross the road after I turn a sharp corner. The Dad was barely watching the little one. I spot them and go really slow like a granny to let them pass. There wasnt much time for me, but I'm a chill driver.

I have no interest in riding a motorbike, but I know the difference between a Vespa and a Harley.

Why would you memorise something you have no interest in?

This will be your legacy too; after being mullered by the nation's last remaining Ssangyong Rodius, in inexplicable pink, you will have to weakly tell the attending police officer as you expire that instead of exactly whodunnit, actually ACAB you pig, and also if you could just explain something to me for a moment is there any difference between a silver car and a red one... Then in the local paper the next week it will say that in connection with a fatal accident police are interested in talking to the driver of a physical object. Hopeless.
That's how ghosts are made you know. Noone falls down a well any more. WooOoooOOoooo avenge meeee, I regret not paying more attention to automotive product ranges. Well you should have tried harder in car school, dummy. Now you'll have to ethereally roam England's greyest highways and byways until you can tell the good lord above what a Dacia Logan looks like.

You could add ambulances to that, certainly police vehicles!
To your considerable list, I would add men in flat caps and/or drivings gloves (why would you) and people with an Ichtus or other born agan symbols on the back of their car.
With regards to car identification, it is increasingy difficult these days as cars tend to look so similar

Yes, anyone in a hat. Also anyone with a box of tissues on the parcel shelf. However these are already accounted for in other categories.You could add ambulances to that, certainly police vehicles!

The worst road user was some idiot I nearly hit cycling without lights while wearing camouflage that black and white stuff designed for the urban environment worked really well if he hadn't been using his phone wouldn't have seen him at all.
