    I'm with KidChameleon, those tailgaters annoy the hell out of me. Also, people who honk the horn unnecessarily, like in a situation where there is a traffic jam or pile up.

    Hahahaha, how stupid do they look! You hear them coming and you can tell by the sound that the car is about as fast as a egg and spoon race.

    Also another thing I hate, is when people have huge decals on there car usually over the passenger rear window and the side of the car saying ''Corsa'' or ''Saxo'' like we don't know what there sh*tbox is already. We guessed when we heard you coming 3 streets away!

    School run women. Especially when they park (and double park) their hulking great 4x4s on the yellow zig-zags outside the gates to allow a single small child to alight before ineptly performing a 15-point turn without indicating or checking a mirror at any point.

    When I take over the country I will make it illegal to transport a child of school age by private motor vehicle between 7:00am and 10:00am on a weekday. In one stroke this will tackle childhood obesity, carbon emissions and dependence on foreign oil, improve failing schools by stopping middle class flight from local schools, be good for community spirit, local shops and Post Offices, cut morning rush hour traffic by about 30%, and accidents by about 50% based on statistics that I've just made up.

    Horseboxes; or rather people who tow them. Just ride the bloody things! (The horses, not the horsebox! )

    That and people who think they're "safe" driving 10-20mph under the speed limit.

    Re: What kind of driver do you hate most on the road?

    40 mph brigade annoy me most.

    Also:

    - People who stop at clear roundabouts.
    - People with poor lane discipline.
    - People who sit 1 foot behind the car in front so I have to overtake them as a group not individually.
    - People who flash / honk when you perform a safe overtake.
    - People who don't dip their headlights appropriately!


    Don't get too annoyed at lorries or horse boxes or the like - it's not their fault they can't go fast. People in cars going slowly need to get off the roads though.

    It all comes down to not applying any thought to what you're doing. So I can sum it all up by saying I hate drivers who don't think.

    People driving in a queue of traffic behind a slow car who drive too close to the car in front. Either overtake or relax and hang back a bit, so that I can hop through the queue and make some progress

    most people on the road piss me off, the worst offenders the rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish who pulls out in front of you and makes bugger all attempt to get up to the speed limit nearly causing an accident.

    Re: What kind of driver do you hate most on the road?

    I really hate middle and outside lane hogs, let me through... I don't like undertaking!
    Drivers who speed through villages and then go 40 during the fun twisty national speed limit roads!
    Drivers who refuse to do more than 40mph on a slip road leading onto a motorway... come on guys, its just dangerous!

    Re: What kind of driver do you hate most on the road?

    Well here are my main annoyances:

    1. People who do not know the width of their car - where I live we have a lot of roads that are fairly narrow - you can easily get 2 cars down them, but you have to stick close the hedge when passing. Yet many people just do not know the width of their car and so stop for anyone coming the other way, or slow down to 5 mph! (often when the other car is still a quart mile away making me have to brake sharply to stop me from going into the back of them)

    2. People who slow down for any kind of oncoming traffic - again another countryside thing, but whenever they see a set of headlights coming the other way they just have to brake

    3. People who cannot use roundabouts - first most don't even know what lane to use, and the rest don't understand that you don't have to stop if it is clear to go! The number of times I have driven straight through a roundabout as the other muppets are all waiting for someone else to go first

    4. People who will impatiently pass me when I am doing 30 in a 30 zone, and then do just 40 in a 60 zone. It is as if their car just has the speeds, 40 and stop! especially annoying when you have been stuck behind them for half an hour in a 60 zone, and then you hit the 30 zone, you comply with it and they just continue doing 40
