1) Middle Lane Hogs,
2) Fog Lights in normal light,
3) Rubbish parking,
4) Inappropriate Speeding (I.e. urban roads),
5) And most of all, the b*tch who has rowdy six kids and insists on parking beside me, even though I've parked about a MILE from Tesco to avoid her, every week!


The standard of motorway driving in the UK is very poor. It needs to form part of the driving test.

Whats the correct etiquette for letting a road user know that they've left their fog lights on?

Pull up beside them shouting, gesticulating and flashing your lights.... kidding!  :evil:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Oh yes fog light users drive me nuts! The ones that sit in traffic with them on too.

What’s the correct etiquette for letting a road user know that they’ve left their fog lights on?
Keep flashing your fogs on and off at them until they get the message  :evil:

lane hoggers annoy me the most, quickly followed by people who park next to me in a car park, even when the car park is empty and i have parked far away!!!

I'm with Familydub on that one, what is that all about, it's a sure fire way to get me annoyed  :smiley:

Middle lane hoggers don't bother me at all.  If I'm going faster than them I'll go into Lane 3 they aren't a problem.

My biggest gripe is tailgaters, epsecially when I've got the kids in the back.

Drivers who roll up in the right turn only lane at the lights then cut across the traffic and go straight on. Generally and Audi or BMW.

1) Middle lane or right lane hoggers, tends to be women, university lecturers, Nissan, Toyota
    I guess they think the left hand lane got landmines
2) Fog Lights in normal light, again the same group of drivers
    No wonder why they all wear thick glasses
3) Rubbish parking
    Not surprise the same group of drivers driving the same makes
    Near road junction or so close to my car that I have to get in through the passenger seat
4) Inappropriate Speeding
    Where the F are the police when it was foggy or raining. Even when the weather is -10, there
    are people tailgating me and overtaking me at crazy speed on untreated roads!
5) The unemployed b*tch who has rowdy two kids and insists on parking beside me, even though I've parked about
    a MILE from Tesco to avoid her, every week!

Worst of all are those ungrateful drivers who do not acknowledge my generosity when I let them thru from a minor roads. Sorry to sounds a bit sexest, I never get a thankyou from a female driver!

Being Mr Nice on the road, I hate people not returning a favour by letting me through!

I have to disagree here. If someone wants to drive faster then you in the snow, let him do it. I'm really surprised by reaction of so many people in this country when you OT, especially those big 4x4 doing 15 mph on black roads...
Winter tyres do work, really!
Golf GTI VI DSG - died on the road, resurrected, came back as zombi, sold
R - rising blue, 5-door, DSG, ACC, something something...
