Hate to say that I come across a lot of people with mental health problem and personality disorder who are allow to drive on UK road!
These drivers come in all age, size, gender and ethnicity
I was told by an old guy in a Honda Civic a few years back after filling my petrol up why it took me so long long to fill my tank. I ignore him and walk away.

Don't like stereotyping but there is a group of drivers I don't get on
1. Range Rover Vogue
   Usually very aggressive with their driving, if no luck intimidating you out of their way, they will start tailgating with their xenons on full beam
2. A3 Turbo Diesel
   Always up for any form of traffic lights GP. Probably have their arms amputated cause I never see them use their indicators. Would never let you out of a junction or say thankyou when you let them out from a minor road!
3. BMW X5 3litre diesel
   The BMW badge and high driving position allows them to drive like a dork. Your heart will sink when you see them park next to your new GTI. Guranteed a new dent!
4. Nissan Micra
   Not good for your blood pressure as most drives like Maureen from driving school. Wonder how they pass their test!
5. Gritter
 See one in the motorway will guranteed you to spot a few new stone chip when one wash the car the following weekend :cry:

BMW drivers! must be part of the agreement when buying one that you have part of your brain removed! Generally the bit that makes you indicate!
Oh! and when your coming up to a roundabout (2 lanes into 3, left lane feeds to middle) and some c+ck cuts across the line and you! i swear some people never took a driving test! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Middle lane drivers.

Get one car to sit in the middle lane and will not pull into the left lane, then about 10 cars do the same and don't overtake thus the whole motorway has to pull into the far right lane to overtake them, including people on the left for who it's dangerous for!
I saw a lorry in the left lane doing 60 hmp carry on driving along in the left lane so was undertaking them, most of the drivers in the middle speed up still sticking to the middle lane then pull right up to the car in front of them - in the middle lane.
Dumb. It causes traffic jams, wastes motorway (highways agency study stated something like 400 miles of motor way!), delays
everyones journeys, causes accidents, upsets other road users, it's displayed on the big matrix signs "don't hog middle lane" so why the hell do they do it.

Another variation is people who pull onto a motorway from a slip road and when nothing is in the left in front of them, go straight the middle lanem after I've slowed down in the left to let them in, now I have to go right out to the right hand lane to overtake!

In a similar vein, lorries that try to overtake each other.... just cos they're going 0.1 mph faster than the lorry in front they attempt to overtake and then block 2/3rds of the motorway for the next 10 miles.

Grrrrrr....

have you ever used the M11?  its 2 lanes after bishop's stortford and its the most irritating motorway cause of (unt lorry drivers doing this!

sure this has been mention, but: w@nkers in sh1t slow cars who do 45 in a 30 zone then carry on doing 45 in the proceeding 60 zone then flash me when i overtake them when there is NOTHING coming the other way - the (unt who did this to me yesterday really f7cked me off!!   :laugh:

People who brake going UP the hill in the snow.

Plus those who take the closest pump instead of moving forward to an empty place! Usualy BMW Z3 drivers, ideal cars for g@y people...
Golf GTI VI DSG - died on the road, resurrected, came back as zombi, sold
R - rising blue, 5-door, DSG, ACC, something something...

That drove me crazy in the bad spell thats just finished. Im not one for road rage but i was screaming at people, oh and look its snowing now :grin: . Its the point they don't seem to understand that if you don't have speed, you won't get up that hill. Slow down, fast up, its not rocket science.
