    This is where you can vent and no-one is allowed to respond or counter.


    Drivers sitting parked with car in reverse (and thus the reverse lamps on) should be dragged out of their car and beaten up.

    People who don't indicate at roundabouts or junctions. If I could stab people in their necks with their indicator stalks I would

    Lazy Cnuts who drive into their driveways and then try to reverse back out onto busy roads expecting others to accommodate their laziness.
    No, FcukOff I'm not letting you out!


    Ahhh.. it felt good to get that out :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,024 ✭✭✭Owryan


    People who sit at a left or right turn only junction and are waiting to pull out the wrong way. Saw someone do it yesterday, in front of a cop car, laughed when the blue lights came on.

    Tesco exit at Barracks st, Carlow, I'm looking at you.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,764 ✭✭✭my3cents


    Drivers that don't check whats on there right when the take the shortest possible route across a roundabout and cut from the left to the middle and back again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,764 ✭✭✭my3cents


    I know there is no law to stop it but it drives me mad when drivers park on the wrong side of the road facing traffic and expect oncoming cars to stop to let them out.

    If they have to push the front end of their car out into the road before they can see the on coming traffic then they shouldn't have parked there in the first place.

    I'll stop there before a burst a blood vessel :)

    Right turn only lane...I know, I'll drive to the top of that lane and throw on my left indicator and sure it'll save me queueing like the rest of these law abiding fools.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,947 ✭✭✭Tropheus


    Driving with rear fogs on in broad daylight with endless visibility just because if was a bit foggy two weeks ago. Don't forget to turn them off when you're trading the car in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,266 ✭✭✭✭martingriff


    Driver's who go through red lights when they have changed. You were meant to stop or start slow down at the amber.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,194 ✭✭✭foxy farmer


    Inability to perform reversing manoeuvres e.g. parallel parking, reversing 20-30m in a straight line or reversing into a shopping centre parking space should result in an immediate resitting of the driving test. Life isn't always about just going forward.

    Drivers on the other side of the dual carriageway/motorway not dimming their headlights. No, of course they aren't being blinded by them, you absolute tool.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,448 ✭✭✭ongarite


    Drivers who when drive in the dark brake when a car comes towards them.
    Its like they think braking will improve their vision.
    Incredibly frustrating to be behind them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,596 ✭✭✭Hitman3000


    Gob****es turning into a minor road that you are trying to exit but will not let you out first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,730 ✭✭✭✭R.O.R


    People blaming people from going "2 slow" for there bad manovers

    People not knowing the difference between there and their.

    People who know enough to move out of the outside lane on the motorway when you are going faster, but then pull straight back out despite the inside lane being empty for miles.

    Cock gobbling ass clowns.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,596 ✭✭✭Hitman3000

    People who take up more than one space in a car park, espically a busy one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,565 ✭✭✭K.Flyer


    Scummy lazy fcukwits who park in disabled parking places without a permit, or who use someone elses permit to accommodate their own abject nausea inducing inconsiderate behaviour.
    Their cars should be taken from them and crushed immediately. Preferably with them in it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,889 ✭✭✭Eoinbmw


    Diesel cars ****ing apes!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,885 ✭✭✭Tzardine


    The bloody price of road tax and insurance and how it makes some nice second hand cars stupid to own.

    I saw a mint 3000gt, with 60000km in the uk for sale for about 6k.

    Fecking €1500 a year to tax it. As for the insurance:rolleyes:

    The endless who-is-worse arguments online between cyclists and motorists, when really both sides have a shared hatred of ignorant road users. If you’re so passionate about your own side to the point you’re arguing about it online, then chances are you are knowledgable in the rules around how to use your chosen method of transport, so it’s just mostly-law-abiding people blaming each other while the red light breaking cyclists and close passing motorists are completely unaware of the outrage they are generating.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,428 ✭✭✭DaveyDave


    People driving with fog lights on, especially at night, on clear days.

    Nervous drivers who brake at the sight of an oncoming car.

    People who speed up so you can't merge even though there's nobody on the road.

    People who don't accelerate up a hill.

    People who cant keep a constant speed on the motorway, you overtake them only for them to overtake you and slow down so you have to overtake them again.


  • Posts: 8,856 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Piece of sh1t fcks who hog minor roads by going slow at any opportunity when overtaking can’t take place - there’s a special place in hell, just for you!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,235 ✭✭✭✭Cee-Jay-Cee


    To the stupid bįtch in the West Donegal village today who watched a mini bus driver double park outside the pub and then proceeded to stop in the other lane and wait for someone to come out of the pub blocking everyone behind her and sitting waiting in the opposite lane for you to pass and completely ignoring me flashing my lights at you to move the fûck out of the way so I could pass and a big fúck you for being such a lazy çunt that wouldn’t just Park 20m further back and walk to the pub and get who ever it was you were waiting on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,437 ✭✭✭barneygumble99


    Knobgoblins that slow down to from 100 to 80 when they spot a speed van in a 100 k zone. Eff off.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,908 ✭✭✭✭ELM327


    People who can't drive (98% of Irish "motorists").
    The words "fast lane".
    Idiotic roundabout usage.

    Cockwombles who let in people that skip queueing (eg bus lane, straight on in right turn only lane etc). It's the people that let them in that allow them keep doing it.

    People who can't merge on to motorways, and/or are not aware that those on the carriageway have right of way, not those attempting to merge.

    People who drive the wrong way in one way systems (particularly in carparks)

    Idiot wannabe policemen who hold up all traffic for way too long in all directions at road works.

    Our crappy tax system.

    The fact we have to pay motor tax and >50% fuel tax.

    The lack of EV infrastructure (yes I'm an EVangelist)

    Small fuel tanks (my xtrail only holds 60 litres and does 42mpg), and I drive over 1000km a week.


    (This ranting post is great. We need more of this, I do be raving like a loon at times)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,908 ✭✭✭✭ELM327


    Oh I'll also add people who don't use correct symbols.
    kW instead of kWh
    kmh instead of km/h
    kph instead of km/h

    Stupid efficiency measures (eg I used to pay 50 pound for a tank now it's 60 and i get less miles is my MPG terrible)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,086 ✭✭✭soups05


    People in newish cars who insist on using their phone rather than the built in Bluetooth.
    Idiots who pull into a yellow box and block it despite knowing they cannot make it through the box before starting, double hatred if the yellow box is on a roundabout.
    People who go berserk and scream/threaten you when you point out their phone use, handicap parking abuse or anything listed on this thread. ffs at least have the decency to pretend to be ashamed.


    also, the op, for stealing potential users from the ranting and raving forum :P

    People who drive at 30km/h in a 50 zone because it's snowing, the road was fully clear but snowflakes were hitting the windscreen. There is no need for you to be travelling that slowly in a Qashqai!
