heres another annoying thing. when youre behind someone who constantly brakes and when you see that the cars in front dont brake but that person still does it why dont they just take their foot of the gas and roll to a stop. no one in front is stopping so there is no need to be constantly braking. its even worse at night because eventually you get pissed off with the brake lights.

my biggest gripe at the moment is the shocking amount of people sitting in the middle lane down the A13 on my way to/from work.

it's terrible.

after my late shift i usually drive down the inside lane for 10 miles (distance from work to home) undertaking every other idiot because they refuse to use the ''inferior lane''.

it's got to the point where i've gone down the inside lane to undertake instead of overtaking them just to prove a point.

when i toot at them they act as if they've done nothing wrong

how did you know


there's a thread about it in premium lounge

Far to many to list!

Middle lane drivers, people who are overtaking in the fast lane who refuse to pull into a gap big enough so I or a faster travelling car can go past them, people who can't use roundabouts, people who comfort brake by tapping it for no reason at all, people who can't use lanes, people who when overtaking you on motorways take so fucking long and then end up just sitting on your rear quater because they can't keep their speed under control, people who drive with fog lights on. Theres plenty more which I can't think of at the moment.

What pisses me off is why he bloody did it! Dont know wether he was expecting me to move, then the next car and so on. Next thing i know he is bombing it down a clearing in the slow lane, cutting into the middle, then flying into the fast lane causing everyone to whack on there brakes. Tit!


I like closing the gap between you and the car in front when you see someone coming up the middle lane with a plan to do this, they get sooo annoyed

The other one is when your overtaking traffic at a steady 80-85, no reason for you to move over and some twat in a BMW or Audi comes up behind you at 3 figures flashing you out the way... Like fuck am I moving when I'm in the OVERTAKING lane for a reason.

My real gripe is 40 in a 60 > 40 in a 30.



Got to agree there Pow, thats why i just waved and carried on haha

People who cant use their mirrors or indicate properly...

Happens far to often overtaking on Motorway/Duel. Indicator on, they are straight out there in front of you, and you've just shit yourself....

I get this lots, I tend to let them stay behine me for a bit, slow them down to 75ish, then when the middle lane is empty enough move over and boot it so they cant get past normaly have enough space to pull back out when you get to the next car in the middle lane

Obviously only works with cars that are slower than the one your driving

People doign 70mph in the outside lane then you undertake (shouldn't I know) then they go barmy. Or You flash them, they move over and give you greif.

People not moving over for emergency service veichles on a single carrigeway.

In fairness though, presuming the middle lane is empty then you are in the wrong

A Picasso overtook me this morning on the M62, he was in the outside lane, me in the middle, then he saw a motorway maintenance vehicle on the hard shoulder, paniced because he was doing maybe 75mph and anchored on, despite the 3 cars that were behind him. Because of this I naturally overtook him, I was then watching in my mirror. As he was still in a paniced state he then cut up the van behind me and a car in the slow lane, all because someone was probably moving part of a tyre on the hardshoulder and this clot thought it was police, despite the markings being different colours

Dont know if its already been mentioned;

People who dont understand roundabouts. I.e. Want to turn right or take the last exit so they sit in the left lane and go all the way round the roundabout in the left lane cutting everyone up.

Or people wanting the first exit (turning left) so they sit in the right lane, then immediately cut across every one to get to the left

Just thought of another one. People who take the piss to over take on the motorway!. When im in the left hand lane I constantly get people who just sit next to you in the middle lane Either go past or move out the bastard way!

Also have a massive hate for tailgaters. I get them loads in the Corsa! Sometimes they are that close I can't see their bonnet. I tend to slow to a crawl to piss them off even more

dont get me started on roundabouts. every day when im behind someone coming up to one they slow right down THEN look right when you can clearly see on most roundabouts if there is anything coming from the right.
or.
when someone stops at the roundabout to wait on a car thats miles away when there is enough time for 8 fucking lorries to get through before the on coming car even comes within pissing distance.

Had a shitty IS220D right up my arse this morning (I was in the VXR)

proceeded to cut out a junction through garage forecourt then join the motorway at which he got hemmed in cos no one would let him out including me

Then proceeded to follow off the motorway and tried to ram my car as we going around the large roundabout of the motorway

He then got shown his arse on the dual carriageway only to make himself look worse when i puuled up at the lights

He opened his door and got out of his car but didnt relaise the lights were on green so just pulled away

Carried on following me going mad in his car until 3 others called him a wanker - then he dropped back and pulled off

Fucking scouse idiot - looked like a tan-tastic orange man rep

If there is a car behind you going faster (no matter the make or model) and the middle lane is empty you are in the wrong.

What about if I'm doing 90+ in the outside lane and completeing an overtake and some twat in an diesel A3 is sat on my arse and I don't wish to go beyond 100mph to satisfy his ego.

I'd actually get out and fight people in Audi's, same as right now I want Steve to appear at my front door so I can give him a good going over.
