What annoys you most about other drivers?

[chequita guevara]

Ever notice how people who drive slower than you are *******s and people who drive faster than you are ****ing crazy?

[:) Smiley]

Yes. And those who drive the same speed are tailgaters or are blocking the road.

Add Londoners to that too...I don't think they teach people down here how to drive properly...they're crap at it

Any driving that isn't safe. From the list I selected tailgating. I can't stand big car drivers who assume that your car must be defective because you aren't going 60mph in a 30 zone - the defective nature of your car then gives them the inalienable right to tailgate and overtake at the earliest opportunity as soon as they see you use the brake for some reason.

Drivers going too slow don't annoy me, unless its ridiculously slow and therefore like to cause an accident. Cyclist who trundle at 10mph for example will inevitably require overtaking, and hence contra-flows that may cause an accident.

I think Dauphin's sentiment echoes mine. I've come across people with big cars on large roads and you can be doing a reasonable speed (let's say 85-90mph on a motorway) and they'll see what your car is and overtake you...only to find a few minutes later that they have slowed down to their normal speed and they are going slower than you are and you have to overtake them. Some this makes incredibly irate, despite the fact I haven't changed my speed at all People can be really, really strange at times...

I loathe and despise pretty much everything on the list. Which one I hate most depends on which type of bad driving is happening around me at any particluar moment in time.

I currently drive a Volvo estate car. I had this in the UK for a few months before leaving the country. The problem most of the people who drive these beasts have is the fuel consumption. If you worry about that don't drive a large Volvo! Particularly with the mistaken belief that it uses less fuel going slowly because it doesn't - it just gives Volvo drivers a bad name.

The major plus was not being tailgated on the A64 by cretins in BMW's - presumably terrified of scratching my paintwork (and writing off their cars ) if they got too close.

Driving in rural Ireland is much more relaxed, mostly because there is just much less traffic on the roads. The only really worrying thing is the number of drunks, even during the day. Often they actually pull over and let you past (before continuing on at 40kph).

Oh yeah, I also forgot SUV drivers who tailgate. I drive a Honda Accord; when I look in the rear-view mirror and see one of those, I feel like it's going to open its jaws and eat me

OK, so you're a slow driver. You're the enemy.

Thank God for tuna fishing nets.

The radio just reminded me of a type of drivers that really scares me - ghost drivers. Such idiots should loose their driving license for life .

[chequita guevara]

All SUVs should be destroyed, an theyr drivers taken from them by the hair and shot like the rabid dogs they are.

[Dauphin]

Drivers who don't put on their lights when its dark. You can't see them hence 'ghost drivers'..

[Kuciwalker]

They should all be tossed off cliffs

[Dauphin]

Oh, a google search says they are people who drive on the wrong side of the carriageway.
