Worst Driving Habits

[Fandango]

Large (and small) slow vehicles on country lanes, who don't pull over to let the queues of traffic overtake when there are ample opportunities.
Don't these people ever read the HWC?

Plus all of the already mentioned.

 

[ADY1983]

All the above and people that can't be bothered to change a headlight bulb...

 

[zmaster007]

I live in Cambridge.

I hate cyclists, especially the ones that think they own the road and cycle 2-3 abreast!

 

[BTB 500]

People who won't move out of the middle lane to let me past when I'm towing my caravan (and not allowed to use the outside lane).

People who pull out of side turnings in front of me on single carriageway roads and then drive 20 mph slower than I was going (particularly when I'm towing the caravan - it's much harder to overtake them).

Not all caravans go slow

 

[fuzzer]

Guess I'm annoying too, I'm young

how young?

...see folk who drive wearing hats...
baseball caps
cloth caps
berets
homburgs
deputy dawg hats
fezes
tiaras
...tells you everything you need to know about the clown at the wheel.
and what's with a yellow hard hat on the parcel shelf?

 

[TonyVianoAmbiente]

Oh yeh, and drivers who insist on trying to burn you off when you pull up on their outside at traffic lights. It doesn't seem to matter how old/young they are or what car they have

I think doctors call that "Three-pointed Star Syndrome".

I wear a hat when its geting close to hair cut time...

20, and i am pretty sure i am still classed as young...

 

[Chris_J]

The idiots in their 1.1 Corsa's who must get past when I doing the speed limit or just over, and then cut someone else up to go the same way as me.

People who use the wrong lane to jump a queue. You aint coming in, even if you are nose first.

 

[masqueraid]

Metros with cruise control - you know the ones - you're stuck behind them at 40 all the way to the next limit and then, as you slow to 30, they start pulling away into the distance

 

[BTB 500]

Speaking of cruise control ...

People on the motorway you pass on cruise control, they then overtake you, pull in front, slow down, you go past (still at the same speed) again, they overtake again, etc. etc.

Indicators, my biggest problem - or rather, those who don't understand the function or accept they are fitted to their car;

And lazy steering - turning across junctions, going past parked cars - just turn the wheel a few degrees, that's alright isn't it..... Doesn't matter about cutting the corner on a junction, driving into the waiting car, forcing oncoming cars to wait when no need just because YOU'RE TOO LAZY TO STEER PROPERLY!!!!!!!!!


Goodness, what a rant

BMWs perchance??

 

[reflexboy]

Vehicles with mis-aligned, blinding, bleedin headlamps.

3. People who refuse to let you in when merging, they refuse to look at you and go bumper to bumper, I shove my cars nose in anyway, they soon move!

4. Boy/girl racers who want to have a go at every set of lights, I had a metro pull up next to me once, and I just said "goodbye" and left em standing, thing is, I sometimes feel I have to prove it, other times I don't bother, my badge says it all!!

I don't let pushy people in when merging, especially BMW's.

Once one almost drove into me in Yeovil when someone in a BMW tried to cross into my lane, so I sounded with a long blast of the horn. Stupid.

Yes, girl/boy racers got me. It's always best when they have their girlfriend in the car and the music is going, and he's just racing me off the lights to show off. My car looks slow, it's huge, and it looks even slower when loaded ... But it's still fun when I embarrass them (probably a bit sad too!!!)

People who drive up your backside even when you're not going slow. Normally the car in the rear view will have a window rattleing bass, and some LED washer jets.. (maybe some spinning hubcaps!?)

I witnessed this the other day going up to the college rounabout in Yeovil, 56 plate Audi trying to push in but the old 406 wasn't having any of it, resault crumpled Audi wing

Also there is way too many "girl/boy racers" in Yeovil there bl**dy everywhere...

What get's me is they are all in McDonalds, so they've choosen a place with mountains for speed humps to meet with their ultra lowered puntos, fiestas and saxos. Umm, am I missing something here??

 

[Carrotchomper]

Toyota Priuses.
Dawdlers in Toyota Priuses.
Middle lane dawdlers in Toyota Priuses.
.

I was driving the other day and was extremely shocked to see a young man driving a Toyota Prius. And driving like an absolute lunatic!! Just didn't seem right somehow, I did have to do a double take to see what car it was!!

Didn't even have the heart to honk him when he carved me up, simply because I was all confused!!

 

[BenzComander]

HGV's that insist on overtaking each other on dual carriageways and two lane motorways!
