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

rollback = test fail, so you shouldn't be doing it unless you have an L plate on. It's really not that hard to do a hill start, you should know how to do them after a year of driving.

unless your in an automatic.

WTB CLUTCH!

People who can't leave their egos out of their driving. Mainly the types who refuse to merge in turn when two lanes become one in several places on the North Circular. You'll always get some idiot (usually in the outer lane) who pushes up so close to the car in front of them that you're letting merge in front of you and tries to play a power game with you to get ahead of you at the merge point. Idiots. It's happened to me several times and I usually back off as my car is worth more than theirs and I don't need the hassle. Funnily enough it's been all sorts from wannabe Yardies to 'entitled' middle-age housewives driving their bimmers. Gets my blood up no end. Far more irritating than middle lane drivers (who're mainly just gormless).

Also very annoying are the Richardkopfs who don't seem to realise if you're doing 75 in the outside lane you may just be held up by the car in front of you, and possibly the car in front of that too. They'll steam up, tailgate, flash lights, then play silly beggars trying to cut in and undertake only to find they've no room because the middle lane ahead is occupied, then screech up to the middle-lane occupier and cut back into a nonexistant gap in the outside lane two cars ahead of you, causing the driver behind them to have to jam on almost causing a pile-up. Repeat for the next five miles until they either pull off the motorway, cause a crash or get free road ahead of them and either only accelerate up to 80mph or so, holding others back themselves or zoom off at 110+ and get nicked by the stealth cop car (if only)

Automatics creep which if anything makes it easier!
And you still have a handbrake - it's safe (for the transmission and engine) to put the handbrake on while in drive.

It's gotta be slow drivers and lorry drivers who overtake other lorries going 0.1mph slower, especially when they pull out sharply after 1 indicator blink.

Every single thing in the above post is 100% spot on...are you me, do I know you, do you want to be my friend?



If there's room for them to undercut you, get out the damned overtaking lane, you belong on the list of things I hate.

EDIT:

Those morons in lane 3 on the motorway who spy a police car 25 miles ahead and swerve across two lanes to tuck in behind the Reliant Robin doing 46 mph in lane one. They're usually the same morons who, when they get up behind the police car that's only doing 60mph refuse to overtake in case SWAT storm their houses and steal their children.

Come to think of it, I also hate those people with works vans with livery on that looks like a police car - reflective stripes etc.

Well, I didn't want to admit it but I actually spy on you day-in, day-out... you know when you look out of your kitchen window, thinking you saw something in the hedges... maybe you did

Of course we can be friends ole' bean, couple of cheeky brews down the pub?
