lack of indicating make me see red and go into berserker mode, esp as i'm a pedestrian most of the time

I voted for C but I always drive with the assumption that every other driver is a total idiot and refuse to get annoyed.
When you have driven for 3 years in Saudi Arabia where there are no road rules , driving test or highway code and survived without a scratched bumper you tend to have a very relaxed attitude to UK/European drivers. Once you have met a 5 litre pick up truck doing 110mph the wrong way down a dual carrige way at night with no lights and 4 kids in the open back things like lack of indication seem less worrying.

I don't want to choose I want to rank them!!!
I don't care if I'm not acknowledged, I rarely show a courtesy beyond what is expected of me in the Highway Code and don't expect a hand signal acknowledging my generously giving way at the give way sign.
I'm going to bit my tongue now because I have something to say on just about every point.

all of them...obviously... but probably the ones i get most angry at is cutting up and tailgating...as they are probably the most immediately dangerous and can be hair-raising ...
but in terms of just plain irritation its the parking - i hate it when people park on corners and either block your view or inhibit your exit and entry, also when they park right up to your bumper

They are all things that annoy me but tailgating is the one I really hate. Why don't they just get a sticker on their windscreen saying " I don't really understand how to drive properly". If you follow too close it does nothing positive at all. Most drivers won't speed up if that is the aim. If you want to overtake, having space in front give you a better view ahead, allows you to build speed before moving onto the other side of road which means you can overtake more easily. As for the many safety implications, I doubt they care.
