    Idiots that drive on the wrong side of the road - if only for a few hundred meters untill a very near crash! Youd be suprised, it happens quite often around here!

    Well, I went on holiday the next day after I picked up a 'd.i.y. traffic report form' having been told I could do that AS WELL as make an assault claim [wish they told me earlier, they just didn't want the extra work lazy f*ers, and we pay our taxes...] and tehre was no way could not go on holiday I'd booked ages in advance...anyway- I went away filled out the form, a month passed and I then realised that on the form it says something like 'will only be used if filled out within 24hrs of the incident'.
    so, thanks to their buggering me about at the start of it all [when I could have filed both forms there and then] I'm in a position to be unable to anything about it. and DFS haven't responded to my letter I sent them...might just have to send another.to their HEAD head office, not some pants branch head office.

    Shiato, even if it does nothing (to your benefit), at least revel in the pleasure that is knowing that; the knuckle-dragging half-wit will actually be accountable for his wife-beating, amoeba-like existance and will be questioned.

    The main one is failure to indicate for me. I'm sick of hearing that "You should be able to tell where I'm going from my road position...". Of course I should. I should also be intimately familiar with your general driving standard, your mother's maiden name, the cubic capacity of your fridge and the length of your ****, because I'm frickin' psychic.

    I hate being tailgated. But more than this, I HATE people who seem utterly ignorant of how to approach a roundabout, i.e. what lane to use. It's not rocket science, but the number of times I've nearly been run off the road or hit by people who approach in the left hand lane when they're exiting right is ridiculous. As far as lane hogging is concerned, I don't get quite so wound up by that except on the four lane stretch of the M6 near where I live, where the number of times one is stuck at 60 or less in the third lane when the first two lanes are completely clear behind some doddering fool is unreal. Move up or move over, but MOVE, FFS.

    people who dont indicate, tailgating and lane hogging are all annoying but the thing that gets me the most is when people dont 'say thanks' when you let them out at a junction , or wait to let them down a road not wide enough for two cars, gah!

    With you on this one. I'm gonna buy an old scrap car one day, and just drive up and down said narrow road. And any car that doesn't thank me for giving way when I have right of way, but hey I'm a nice guy... WHAM eat my drivers door

    Normally i'd say something else but i've been tailgated twice on my way to work in the last week, both times by ****** yuppies in sports cars, one of which gave me the finger when he overtook cos he couldn't get past me when i was doing 80 to overtake a lorry. rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish.

    Most of that stuff annoys me, expecially dithering drivers or people who don't know how wide their own car is or where the side starts, and consequently drive through width restrictors or gaps in traffic at 1mph. The thing that drives me into an apopleptic fury is the selfish ****s who can see that two lanes are going to merge into one and yet proceed to drive up the outside/inside of the quewe and push in. I usually refuse to let them in, but at the moment my car is both small and rather precious to me so sometimes I have to cede position to the really agressive ones. However, if/when I become a plumber it is my intention to buy the largest, cheapest and most battered Transit I can find, and at that point the selfish ****s will be out of luck.
