    People who do 40 in a 60 limit then keep doing 40 through the 30 limit villages! And People who drive fast on straights but crawl round bends!

  • One that mildly annoys me is when people don't acknowledge that you've let them through or out at a junction.  A simple nod or wave would suffice. 

  • Cars being made to look like something they aren't. e.g. a 520d with an M badge on.

Has anyone mentioned electronic handbrakes? What a ****ing pointless idea.

Our adt man at work told us of one of their fleet cars rolled into a pond because the E Brake didn't engage after the button was pulled :/ at least the good old hand brakes are mechanical

Speedos that have mph increments at 20/40/60/80, instead of at 30/50/70 (ie; 3 main UK speed limits).

 

And yes I do know that 80kph is roughly 50mph.

 

Yes, Skoda still struggle with this.  It's annoying.

My Ford is the same too!

People who purchase a new BMW and don't tick the optional extra box that reads 'indicators'...

Here's another two of mine:

 

1) Tw*ts in convertibles who insist on dropping the hood at the slightest hint of sunshine - no matter that it's freezing as well. They they sit all smiles (no doubt with the heater full blast on their feet), with a smug "look at me ain't I cool" look on their faces). No you are not cool -  look like a b*oody" stupid prat!

 

2). Parking at the supermarket in a far away as possible space (all alone), so as to avoid some idiot banging their door/trolley on your pride and joy, only to return to find that same idiot parked right next to you. What's that all about?

Any kind of alteration to headlights or tail lights

Hids, tinting, other coloured bulbs

Also people who purposely drive around with their fog lights on

..........and some more:

 

1) Idiots with 90% tinted front side windows. I love it on those Police shows when they get pulled over and plead ignorance, then the officer makes them peel a section off.

Particularly satisfying when idiot in question is a WAG type in a Range Rover Sport, and has to phone her other half to ask his advise - what?

2) All speeders in a 30mph zone.

3) Bass boomers.

4) Very loud buzzing 2 stroke scooters.

5) Ignorant drivers who continue talking/texting on their phone when the Police have just stopped them - bl**dy rude.

6) Anyone who texts when driving 

 

Must be my age, as most things seem to annoy me these days!

Mines the reverse on that, the plonkas who buy a convertible then drive round with the roof up. Weekend just gone it was 'warm' I'd say. Not baking but hot enough to open the window, saw numerous convertible drivers with their roofs up! We get about 5 sunny days a year so make the most of them! 

Not aimed at you Jrjg as im sure your right, and indicating is important.

But passengers that tell you how to drive are annoying. Especially when you know your a much better driver than them anyway haha.

That's a good point. Won't stop me nagging him though, despite me feeling like his mother.

Also - he is a better driver than me, he just can't indicate! Haha

JRJG

Atleast you admit hes a better driver ;) haha.

Iv only got one friend who I'll admit that to haha

I wouldn't call myself a particularly good driver to be honest - I haven't crashed which I suppose I have over most of my mates, but in terms of skill or speed, I am usually at the back of the pack, being reasonably, and in comparison to some of their driving, extremely, sensible.

SWMBO's dad said to me when I was looking at vRS's - "you're a slow driver.. So why are you looking at fast cars?" pretty much rounds up my driving!

Supermarket carparks. The majority have parking spaces designed for motor bikes with a slim sidecar.

Youd think so

But iv been told off for parking a bike in a car space before by a member of the public. Apparently i was wasting a space and i should park elsewhere.

So they arent for bikes either ;) apparently ;)

You needed a wider sidecar   :think: 

Or, a sidecar at all haa.

Yeah the convertibles are hilarious

I seen one guy in middle of winter driving an astra convertible! Yes you read that right an astra thats convertible. It was a crime to my eyes.

He was driving it about 0 degree's bloody freezing with the hood down and a hat and scarf on! What a complete douche

People who hit their car door against your car in carparks, whilst you are sat in it and then wonder why you give them a funny look,luckily no damage done 

The 'thoughtless' brigade of motorists.

Hood? Whats a Hood?

Taxis. They drive like maniacs in the town/urban areas, and crawl along at slow speeds out of the town.

If you have a good heater in a drop head it can be great to have the top down, even if it's cold (particularly with a tonneau cover).  I fixed your original quote for you, by the way.

People who overtake you only then to slam their anchors on and turn off 1/2 mile later. Yeah, like NSL was slow anyway!

It may well be, but just be aware that the majority of us think those that do look complete and utter t*ts!

 

Dropheads are for proper sunny/hot days not sunny/cold ones.

 

Don't expect everyone will agree but.............!

Convertible roof = hood
