    theres a roundabout near here with 3 lanes on the entrance, 1 to go left and 2 to go straight on (no other exits) - however straight on is only 1 lane wide, thus everyone cuts everyone else up (by *correctly* reading the road markings) and i have a near miss every 1-2 days :/

    Much like lowe, people who drive 45-50mph on a NSL road, 25-30mph on a 40mph speed limit road and 20-25mph on 30 road.

    People who dont wave/flash the lights when you pull in to let them passed or wait for them at a junciton.

    People who "pull over" (i.e. stop the car and put the left indicator on) to have a word with someone/quickly get a newspaper or money on a road where you cannot pass them if cars are coming the other way.

    Most taxi drivers from around this area, they act as if they own the place.

    Buy a quicker car, or get out of the BMW lane.

    BMW lane - yeah thats about right last time this happened I couldn't go any quicker as all 3 lanes were chocka

    Cars quick enough - just do what they do to me, let them through, and then return the favour

    lol

    What gets on my tits is 4x4's driven by people who have never seen a farm and never driven off-road in their life and don't ever intend to get the 4x4 muddy. They just take up too much space on the road and are pointless. Go buy a Focus ffs.
    This one time I was on a single track road and a shiny 4x4 was coming the other way, the flippin cow expected me to pull over onto the mud/grass to let her pass. So I just sat there til she moved over - she had the 4x4

    /People who do 25-30mph on a clear 60mph single c/w. yep I've seen that a few times.
    Mini!!!!!

    Ignorance.

    Anyone who thinks a BMW lane exists deserves to get well and truely rogered.

    Not understanding small cars with small power take ages to get to speed and just pulling out of the way to late going up hill.

    Those who assume their car is 'superior' and therefore must be travelling faster because surely that Polo sitting behind them is just going to get in the way.

    Anyone in the wrong lane.

    Those doing 95 on the dual-carrageway and 55 on the single that follows.

    Anyone who owns a car with a stack of power and doesn't use it, in fact travelling just below all speed limits just because they are 'superior'...again.

    Those deliberately driving well below the speed limit with a stack of cars behind because "someone must teach them to drive properly below the speed limit".

    Long queues of traffic full of people who have no intention of over-taking anyone not leaving more than a millimetre gap between cars for those who are trying to get a move on to slot into. .....and breathe.....

    Strange how all the above can be put down to ignorance and that's just the tip of the ice-berg.

    GRR

    One last one:

    If it looks like I might overtake DON'T pull over to the left to let me see better. If coming round a left-hand bend and getting ready to overtake on the straight that follows I want to see as far as possible up the road, so will be looking down the LEFT side of your car as well as the right. Stick to the middle DAMMIT!

    ....RANT
