    People who drive at 40 through nat speed limit and then continue to do the same speed through a 30 as though they have no idea whats going on, this for some reason *really* annoys me.

    I love tailgaters - I love driving at 15mph through 40 limit backroads just to annoy them

    What is it with the 40mph drivers? I have a theory that they have learnt how to accelerate to 40mph off by heart - with no thought involved, and have no idea that the car can actually do different speeds....

    Hm, it was a hard choice. But I chose: BMW's, etc who drive like they own the road....

    I hate those types..they're so damn irritating

    4x4 drivers every time

    as far as i'm concerned they should pay toll bridge / tunnel / congestion charge fees the same as a van, cos they're the same size, use the same space, chuck out the same pollution, take up the same amount of road & are usually driven by halfwits without the basic wherewithall to realise there are actually other people on the orad

    /aaand relax
    if it ain't broke...fix it till it is

    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.
    Hell yes. I'm generally quite an angry person and these things do my head in - thankfully I drive most places alone, so I can vent my anger by shouting very loudly, whilst making sure the windows are shut.

    Good skiills m8. I'm not really much of a one for schadenfreude, but the rage on the face of a driver who tried- and failed- to push in front of my Mum in a queue was just brilliant. We were in a 2CV FFS

    Ahhh, absolutely Middle Lane Hoggers!!!!
    They annoy me so much!

    I used to do the M1, M25 run everyday and these people still get to me more than anyone else! Are they scared of the inside lane or something?? Do they think that because they are doing over 60mph they are entitled to the middle lane?? NO!!! Move ur ass over and let the rest of us by!!

    (Rant over!)

    "Women (or House Husbands) doing the school run in the 4x4" Are the worst, as they are a combo of "Drivers who don't indicate", "Drivers who tailgate me", and "BMW's, etc who drive like they own the road...." all rolled into 1 irritating package.

    bloody parents that think a 4x4 is a good vehicle for british roads, one their to big, two they take up 3/4's of the road and three they always seem to park across my drive (live near a school) so far this year I have had to bounce 4 cars out the way of the drive to get in and out.
