OK, sorry about this, but have to get it off my chest.

The list below are a few of my pet hates with other drivers, and on the way home tonight I can honestly say I experienced nearly all of them.

[17]
1. Not indicating for anything!!!
2. Driving too close behind.
3. Overtaking when in slow moving traffic and then forcing there way back in directly in front of you.
4. Speeding through their own housing estates - I am sure some people fly through my estate at anywhere between 40-50 mph.
5. Driving around roundabouts in the outside lane, slowly, with no indication at all, only to leave at the last exit - similar to moan 1, but worth more emphasis.
6. Driving with Fog lights on perfectly clear nights.
7. Insisting on driving in the centre lane of the Motorway.
8. Cutting up on the inside lane of roundabouts when going directly ahead.
9. Treating roundabouts like junctions, and stopping even when no cars are insight.
10. Using a hand held mobile, while speeding throught a busy street - this annoys me more now its illegal.

I class myself as a very calm driver, however on the way home tonight I could really see myself being involved in a bit of road rage - and that really bothers me when I feel like that.

Please feel free to add any of your own pet hates!!!! Did I miss any others key ones?

The one that really bugs me (well at the moment) is parking, they have a marked bay to park in, but can they "NO!".

How the hell can we get into our cars when they are parked so close you can't even get to your door..... more the point how the hell did they get out?!

Rear fog lights are usually left on because of ignorance or stupidity. Front fogs seem to be a dazzling fashion statememt. I was very tempted to stop and have a word with a guy behind me last night because his fogs were so dazzling.

Regarding the indicators, it seems that most BMW's & Mercedes only have indicators on the optional accessories list - which most drivers fail to specify when buying their car.

Don't drink drive! Not only is it socially unaceptable, it also harms A2's.

New A2 - Ebony Black, Red Leather, CC, Symphony + all the previous options we had.
 
Rob - agree with you on that one.
Fog lights are my absolutely greatest frustration on the roads today.
More and more people seem to drive around during the daytime with their front fogs on...WHY?? [10]

Then, as you say there are those people that think they need their rear fogs on all the time making it harder for you to notice their brake lights.

And then there are the people that think they need their front fogs on at night time as well as their headlights blinding on coming traffic and you if you're in front. [4]

If you're a permanent front or rear fog light user (where there's no fog), what do you think it achieves?

Especially in the new angled spaces. People seem to use the car next to them as a reference, rather than pulling all the way into the space!!!!!

Hesitation-OK, maybe a bit harsh as I'm sure we all do it but.....

People who sit and wait and wait for a mile long gap either way before they pull out of a junction

People who sit on a roundabout waiting for the a car 500yards away to come onto the roundabout

People who sit a traffic lights, wait for them to go green, have a think about selecting 1st and taking the handbrake off, then move off just as they change back to red because it takes them so long! Or they then decide to turn right and won't move forward enough for the traffic behind to get through.

If people were a bit more positive in their driving mannerism I'm sure traffic would flow a lot quicker.
