Your driving pet peeves?
 
When people don't put their hand up/wave to gesture 'thank you' when you give way or let them join traffic :mad:

When people with nicer cars tail gate you :mad:

MeMyselfAndI 08-10-2013 05:52 PM

I'm learning, but when a car doesn't indicate properly when going round a roundabout

it's so easy once you've passed

MTVN 08-10-2013 05:57 PM

Yeah the not waving is the most annoying

Also:
- People who don't indicate
- People who stick religiously to the speed limit
- Middle lane hoggers on the motorway
- Not exactly a driving one but people who park right up behind you without leaving any space so you have to go forward and reverse about ten times before you can drive out

I'm sure I will think of more later

I'll go with these,plus people chucking rubbish out the window while on the move.

AnnieK 08-10-2013 06:29 PM

People who fly down the outside lane and then try and cut in....I never let them in :mad:

People who park over my clearly marked driveway

Roy Mars III 09-10-2013 01:32 AM

People who go just the speed limit (go five over, or get off the road)
People on bikes
People who take too long to turn.
People who stop at a yellow light

Kizzy 09-10-2013 01:37 AM

I don't drive but I don't get the hate for people in tne middle lane.
If you don't want to go particularly fast or slow is it not just logical to stay in the middle?

King Gizzard 09-10-2013 01:45 AM

I don't drive so does someone parking in the middle of two spaces or just generally not parking quite close to the next person so there's room for more people on a road count

lostalex 09-10-2013 03:45 AM

when someone starts crossing the street right before the light changes, and then they walk casually as if they don't even notice that the light has changed.

Ammi 09-10-2013 03:45 AM

..people who park inconsiderately generally and people who drive too close to you when the roads are obviously slippery...

Marc 09-10-2013 05:29 AM

I wish we would get a rural cycle route around where I live because the cyclists make it really dangerous on the roads

Ammi 09-10-2013 05:41 AM

..we have one but they just don't use it though..I was talking to someone who is a member of a cycling club about it a while ago and he said that he didn't use it because he felt it was more dangerous because of the speed they go and potentially running into families/children etc..

It's logical but the inside lane is for driving and the outside lane(s) are for overtaking. If you drive to the letter if the law you should drive in the inside lane then if you come up to a middle lane hogger and you are going faster than them you have to swing out over two lanes to overtake them as it is illegal to undertake therefore it is more dangerous. You often find middle lane hoggers are nervous drivers who don't like to overtake so pootle along there causing other drivers to cross multiple lanes just to get round them. :mad:

Ammi 09-10-2013 05:47 AM

..also there are cyclists who around 4/5pm in winter time, don't wear any high visibility stuff and even wear black or dark colours...(and no lights on their bikes....)...

..too right Annie....:enraged smiley:...

Cyclists who use the road when there's a perfectly good and brand new cycle lane running parallel for them gggrrr

People who block the fast lane

People who cut out in front of you really fast from another road and then drive about 10mph once they're out

People who don't indicate

..this, this and more this...that's what I mean, the cycle lane where I live is literally a few feet from the road..(which is narrow..)..and much safer yet cyclists very rarely use it...?...

Same here, we have a really good, brand new cycle lane running parallel with the road, the whole way from the town next to mine to my town but they still insist on holding up traffic and using the road, it annoys me so much

MTVN 09-10-2013 09:18 AM

Annoying on narrow roads when you meet someone come the other day and it's clearly more convenient for them to reverse into somewhere so you can pass but they just sit there waiting for you to do it

..did you read my earlier post..?..I was talking to someone in a cycle club and he said that he felt it safer to ride on the road..(a bad overtaking road..) rather than the cycle path as there were families using that and the speed some cyclists go, they could knock a child off a bike but I really don't understand that reasoning for it to be safer on the road though...
