People who brake going UP the hill in the snow.
yep, that normally gets me shouting.

My worst one are these two:-
  • when I'm pootling along doing the speed limit and I get someone right up my chuff trying to hassle me to go faster.  I usually brake test them.
  • when I'm in a rush and having to get somewhere quickly and you get stuck behind someone who's happy to hold you up and not get out the way and then use their brakes when there's no need whatsoever!

Let me add some more:)

Those in fast-ish cars who don't overtake slow cars just in front of them driving well below speed limits. I don't blame slow car drivers for  driving slowly - it's their right (with some common sense) but those behind them in Audis, BMW and Jags surely could step on it when the road is clear. Instead they just tailgate, stress the poor Corsa drivers and don't leave enough space for guys like me who are 5 or 6 cars behind with no real hope of taking all 6 cars in one go.

in the snow and ice a few weeks back, i saw the most insane thing ever, back road, leading up to a junction to a very busy main road, rush hour, im 5 cars behind a pug 206, near side rear brakwe was clearly locked on, driving in the middle of the road, practicly sideways, wouldnt let any one past her (i assume they were female and im sorry if i offend any competant female drivers). she then continued to do this onto twn the slip road and on the busy A road. surely you would of pulled over the moment u realised only 3 of your wheels were turning.

here's one.....

drivers who stop at round-bouts when there's no need..
Agreed. They also tend to brake suddenly as well!!! :angry:

Can add 2 more cars that tends to give me grief
Daewoo Matiz
Corsa 1.2 SRI whatever
Strange people who own these 2 cars tends have a very different DOB but their driving usually equally bad!

My Mrs often stops at roundabouts, even when it's clear. I always grit my teeth and hope the driver behind notices! That's why she rarely drives my car!

On the plus side, it certainly makes me more careful as I approach traffic at roundabouts, even if I can see it's clear.

i had a 1.2 clio with big bore back box and halfords universal cone filter over take me in a 30 zone, on the wrong side of a central reservation. that tickled me, as i then floored it, caught him in a 60 zone, and at the time i had a gttdi pd 115, the look on his face was pricless when he saw that tdi badge infront of him again, then i became a mere speck to him withing seconds. retard
