I'm amazed the middle lane thing seems to be a matter of indifference. On motoring forums everywhere you'd think they are axe murderers. I went for the cutting up but my in order of irritation I'd go: BADEGCF. C is only an issue when indication actually tells other road users something. F is not as bad as paying zigzag up the road. There are several others not even on the list.

^^^ <headlights are for other road users to see you>, I live in a rural area, often there are no other road users, but i don't think I'd get very far with out headlights and no streetlights

[Baldric]

I don't,
They're not.

With HGV driving over the years you get to read other motorists actions, it's the ones that I can not that gets me, I was once told by a Motorway patrol a few years ago when this @rsole would not get out of the 2ND lane of a Three lane part of the M5, pull over to the hard shoulder & stop there for 5 mins then set off! my answer to him, is that an emergency? he said what makes you ask, I replied It's illegal to stop on a Hard shoulder unless in an emergency. need I say anymore?

Tailgaiting is a big annoyance of mine especially in bad weather

[boxtops]

I'm one of the people who annoy other people - one careful driver, don't go fast, just be careful.

[Flyhalf]

Tailgating. It is so tempting to retaliate by speeding up when a gap appears in the lane to your left, but these twits are likely to attempt something suicidal.
So, I wait until I can easily move in, and let them move on. Better to have them in front, when you can see and better react to what they get up to.

[cazzz1975]

im always amazed at the amount of speeding and aggressive driving I see on the road these days, a lot of people completely ignore the speed limit signs.

[EDDIE51]

douglas9401 the limit on single carriage ways is 60 mph unless a lower limit is in place.

[tiggerblue10]

I would choose all but the most annoying for me is the poor parking. there is a big problem of double parking where I live as well and I also get drivers who stop in the middle of the road to have a chat with someone. Absolutely no consideration.

[douglas9401]

Not for HGV/LGV Eddie, nor for 7.5 tonne gross, hence the "knights of the road" thing and my frustation on occassion.

[Mick-Talbot]

Where is ' women drivers' ?

[RATTER15]

I dont let any of them bother me to honest, I just get on with what im doing.

By me all those things are rude except slow parking. Inconsiderate ness, selfishness, lack of. Bought for others......all rude. Slow parking might just be a lack of practice or confidence though.

[woofgang]

Ha, blooming spellchecker, not bought, thought!

[WELSHYORKIE]

All of the above
