Motorists who think the advanced stop line at lights is to give them extra room to stop.

Motorists who form 2 lanes at lights thus blocking the cycle lane on the left. They then have the cheek to beep me when I hold my lane after the lights - my 100dB airzound horn usually lets my feelings known!

Can't get too self righteous though; I'm not a perfect motorist (or cyclist)

Drivers (often 3series' date=' X5, range rovers and mkIV golfs) who wait until the 300yd board before crossing 3 lanes of motorway at 90mph to come off at a junction...

There's a couple of places on the M-ways round manchester where I'll happily admit to being being a outside lane hogging, inconsiderate **** badger because its about 100 times safer than trying to drive in one of the inside lanes whilst being cut up 5-6 times in the space of 1/4 of a mile.

Where the M62 meets the M60 at eccles is a prime example.[/quote']

You're right. The M6 and M60 are the two most frightening roads I've ever driven on (with the exception of the road in Sri Lanka from Colombo to it's airport - possibly). The M62/M60 junction at Eccles is truly dangerous, short sliproads (from M602), sharp bends (from M62) and idiot drivers. I now refuse to drive along the eastern (Trafford Centre/Worsley Interchange) and northern 'death valley' sections of the M60 as I suspect I will soon die there if I do so. It is like watching ape's drive cars.

I've sadly got so used to the 300 yard marker board 3 lane change manouver I instinctively check the mirror at every junction...but like you try and stay in the outside lane.

Surprised nobody has mentioned the vast ammounts ( at least round my way) of those hopelessly vunerable & underpowered moped/scooter hybrids.

Barely able to make 30mph, even with the skinniest of youths ( in a racing crouch) on board.

Danger to themselves & others, at least in my opinion.

Several points made I am totally in agreement with

A34 rolling (if you're lucky, at speeds exceeding 30mph) lorry roadblocks are a pet peave.

One way around it if you do get one of these is to come off the sliproad, go round roundabout, and rejoin in front. Don't even bother going too fast either, you'll easily do 60 mph average so you'll get out WAY in front.

Regards metros - Rover 100 is one of my old cars :P - it has no power and takes ages to get up to speed. As a small-car owning driver you tend to hate those who pull out in front and force you to brake. As you've just spent 10 minutes gaining 1 mph/minute to get up to say 70 mph (maybe even 80 ) - you drop down to 60 mph, so it's change down two gears to get back the speed, which means you'll change back into a slower lane. As you drive a metro no-one will even consider letting you out, even if you gain speed first.

Always glad to get back in the Furb after driving SWMBO's Kia Picanto, same problem

Most dangerous are cr@p lane discipline shown by cutting up, changing without indicating/looking/awareness of any sort of surrounding in sense of traffic and road conditions.

I'm probably guilty of having a short fuse when starting to verbalise (within the confines of my car) others. I prefer driving outside the rush hour as I won't be as stressed out by the trip into work. Also it's much faster, economical and less likely to get you involved in a major incident.

Not always possible though :(

Just to add to the 'Mr 40 mph' - these are those who appear to have a 40 mph speed throughout, so that's ANY road, ANY time, 30 mph..70 mph roads.

Another one is the 'performance car driven badly' - I'm not talking about overcooking it, speeding etc and/or generally cutting peeps up. This is the one where you are driving along in your little engined car on a road that has a few good straights and a couple of mild bends. You drive at NSL and catch up with this performance vehicle. I've had this with BMWs, Mercs, Audis but also some MGs. You reach the straight. They NAIL the throttle and shoot off. You stick to NSL. A bend comes along. They virtually stop the car (< 20 mph) to go round a bend that didnt even bother the Rover 100 - you therefore actually catch up with them and have to brake. As you are in a car without power you have naff all chance of going past (safely). To make matter worse you are probably going to end up annoying the heck out of someone who has a faster car that has caught up with you now. So to avoid being a pr*t you then let them go past as they are able to outpace the person in front. Sometimes this makes the cr*p driver realise and you can follow the overtaking vehicle, but most times you have to just see them go and stick it for the whole road length :(

Ah well, plenty to get annoyed about and I'm just gonna have a relaxing day today instead

I am suprised no one has mentioned
