Nobody here seems to think of the truck drivers. They are the most inconsiderate of all. Indicators, the minute they are turned on it gives them the right to change lanes, whether there are cars alongside or not. Trying to pass, one doing 59 miles per hour, the passing truck doing 59.25 miles per hour. Using mobile phones, urinating in a bottle and just tossing put of the cab window. I could on for an hour, then I would talk about motor cycles. Going to finish my paving and cool off.

You can't generalise about any road users but lorries are big and can be intimidating. They are governed for speed but some believe that they are going faster than others. Very annoying because they block dual carriageways and turn three- lane motorways into one- lane motorways.

not all truck drivers are inconsiderate
Undertaking - aggressive, thoughtless, and illegal.
I like truck drivers. I've always found them to be polite. Same with motor cycles.
Now, some bus drivers on the other hand.................
people in a hurry to pull out in front of you, then drive along at a snails pace.

Don't like the think bike logo, it should be think car. They just weave in and
out of the traffic without a thought for others.
Not intolerant about any group in particular but the chuffing salad chefs that sit just less than a car length off your rear bumper kidding on they going to overtake you but sit there....REALLY infuriates me!!

Mccfluff, you are right, but I spend a lot of time on the motorways, at least 3 times a week, minimum, and a few are considerate. But at 90% are not.
Worst road habit going;
Towing a Caravan!!!!!!!!!!
How totally incosiderate and selfish.
^^^^^^incoNsiderate.....as well^^^^^^doh!
Question Author
Speed limit for towing a caravan is 60. Some caravans are towed at 75, others, at 40, on a motorway and A roads.
Not particularly bothered by truck drivers, except when one of them decides to overtake another one and it takes them a good five minutes to get past.
Stopping to give way to somebody/let somebody pass and they dont aknowledge you at all. Not a nod of the head, a smile, a hand up, just drive straight past you. Grrrrr.....
car drivers who cut in front of trucks and don't take into account how long it takes to brake are far more bloody dangerous
It didn't include my favourite hate. You have right of way on a mini roundabout but it is clear if you do go the car speeding up from the right is not going to be able to stop without hitting you.
you havent got right of way on a round about if the car on the right is already on it?? or are they speeding up to it?
Don't think anyone has mentioned this but I hate getting stuck behind a funeral cortege. You just don't like overtaking it do you?
That's not really a road habit though!
And the reason they indicate and go? Because they have a space and need to use it, so they take it. I've never seen a lorry pull out whether there is a 'car there or not'
Cyclists that ride two or three abreast and sometimes there's a pack of them. They are oblivious to cars behind.
I once advised a young lady driver that two out of her three braking lights were out...."so what said she I've still got one working"...mmm...why bother?
Totally pi$$e$ me off when I leave a safe braking distance between me and the car in front and some idiot uses the space for overtaking.
