Annoying things other drivers do

sirbob

I needed some were to go and rant about other drivers and the stupid things some of them do like for example sitting in the fast lane going under the speed limit and not getting out of my way :mad: Why do they do this

Too busy talking on their phones to notice either you or their speed.

What about things you do yourself that you feel might annoy other drivers?

If all these other w***ers just took the bus I'd be home by now.

They always do things that is all their fault as they are rubbish drivers and I am the greatest driver bar none and never do anything wrong and have absolutely nothing to learn as I am perfect.

Sitting in the overtaking lane when they're not overtaking and the road is clear is a gobsh!te thing to do though
So is blocking off the driving lane by sitting in the middle lane when the driving lane is empty and clear
Or hey let's merge onto a motorway where traffic is doing 120 kph ... by hitting the brakes at the end of the merge lane and tootling along at 50 kph

Whats this fast lane you talk about?

I hate when they get out and smash my windscreen with their wheel brace when they don't like my assessment of their driving skills. Some people are just fundamentally bad

Probably the same reason anyone else sits in what they see as the 'fast lane'

...because they're idiots

It's what all our road tax goes on

Well that's simple......

All other drivers annoy me.

Their inability to indicate correctly at roundabouts and also not knowing what lane to be in when using a roundabout.

You know we're supposed to drive on the left hand side?

when I park my car away from others in a car park because some idiots cannot get out of their car without banging my car, and when I come back another idiot has parked right next to me even though there are plenty of spare spaces.

geeky

Not indicating.

I often drive around the walkinstown roundabout and the inability of certain people to use the little button/stick by the steering wheel fills me with murderous rage.

That really gets me as well, I can feel the rage build up in me just thinking about it, I need a cup of tea!

I do not understand why so many drivers in this country do not know how to indicate properly on a roundabout. It. drives. me. mental!

cson

For all of you saying indicators; you do know that they're an optional extra on every car that's imported into this country, right?

Sheesh, couldn't be paying for those like! :pac:

Or leaving the motor way and slowing down to 50 before they even in the slip lane

major bill

Not indicating, driving way too slow, talking on phone, taking ages to take off at a red light, parking across two spots, driving slow in the overtaking lane.........

Jaysus I really do need to improve my driving

The AMOUNT of times I've been behind someone approaching a roundabout who indicate right or left, and then proceeds to drive straight ahead...also, I've been the driver at the next exit, watching people drive onto the roundabout indicating left...and just knowing somehow that they're driving straight ahead, ie in front of me. You get a sixth sense about it sometimes, and if my spidey senses start tingling, I don't move until I can see exactly what way they're going.

In fairness, I very rarely see someone in the wrong lane on a roundabout, and when I do, they're clearly lost and realise too late that (for instance) they should be turning right and not going straight on, so they do the whole 'indicate right, on the outside lane, while driving slowly and giving themselves whiplash looking over their shoulder at me' thing.

But the whole fcuking indicating thing....jesus.

Fat drivers eating bags of chips and other fat driver food, also skinny drivers eating kale and other skinny driver food and by extension fat drivers eating skinny driver food and skinny drivers eating fat driver food, not a big fan of eating at the wheel, it's just as dangerous as being on your phone, whether the conversation you're having on you're phone is amicable or angry is irrelevant in my view, talking on the phone while eating whether you are fat, skinny, angry or amicable is a particular pet peeve of mine.

Tailgate
Block a junction.
Slam their brakes when the lights go amber. FFS drive on. No need to risk an accident.
When the lights go green and they take greater than 2 seconds to take off.
Text when not stopped at traffic. Using the phone in traffic doesnt annoy me but in flowing traffic seeing the driver behind you with their head down is infuriating.
Blocking yellow box junctions in rush hour :mad: Yes hold up my whole lane so you can jump lighst!!
When they are driving too slow is annoying.

This thread should come with a health warning

Post car stuff in AH when there's a whole forum for motors stuff? Bugs me anyway. Dublin forum?

Say Your Number

It's amazing the amount of drivers who can't complete the simple task of parking their car between two lines, sometimes I have to do a few more laps of a car park or park a lot further away thanks to some lazy/selfish c*nt who decides to take up two spaces, it's not that f*cking hard.

Ye do realise that some of it is the "I'm doin 120, Feck off" mentality. Trouble is, most of them are probably only doing 105, maybe 110, as the modern speedo is designed to over read by up to 10%, supposedly to keep people out of trouble in speed limit zones.

Put it this way, if I have a choice of believing a GPS, or the speedo, I know which one I take as being more accurate, given the way that the GPS has to operate to work in the first place. My wife's car, a FIAT, is doing about 108 on an indicated 120, and getting it to actually do a true 120 is a challenge, but that's another story.

The Isuzu I have is remarkably accurate, at 120 indicated, the GPS is usually 117, so that one can be relied on, and I know from experience that I end up passing a lot of people that probably think they're doing 120, but are in reality not.

Most other cars I travel in, with GPS active, are usually somewhere between 8 and 10 Kph over reading at the motorway limit.

There is another solution, do away with speed limits on the rural motorways, like Germany, so there is no competition to "keep the others at the limit", and if there are people wanting to overtake, then it's a requirement to get the fcuk out of the way and let them get on with it, and who knows, maybe over time, people might even remember to look in the mirror occasionally to see if there's someone coming up behind them. No harm in hoping.

That won't work on the M50, that needs variable limits on overhead gantries, like the M25 in the UK, with average speed cameras to sort out the ar*eholes that insist on doing 130 in the exit lane until 50 metres before the slip, regardless of what's happening in the other 3 lanes. 2 Points for speeding, 2 more for incorrect lane use, and 2 more for passing on the wrong side, 2 offences and they'd be taking a break from the M50 for a while. wouldn't take long for the message to spread, some drivers would collect their quota of 12 in one trip on the M50 in one day.

The American concept of a barrier to positively block off the outer 2 lanes for half a mile before and after a junction has a lot to recommend it as well, the number of near misses I see where someone jumps from Lane 4 to Lane 1 at high speed just before the exit, or crawls in lane 2 so that they can jump into the queue when there's half a gap, the barrier would prevent those aggravations, and also stop people jumping from the slip to lane 3 at 60 Kph.

And yes, I DO know a bit about what I'm talking about, over 40 years driving in a number of countries, some RHS, some LHS, and on occasions driving a RHD in a LHS country, or even more challenging, driving a left hand drive manual, in deep snow, on untreated roads in temperatures of -20, (C or F, take your pick, it's effectively pretty much the same, DAMN cold). In those 40 plus years, I've had one mishap for which I will accept responsibility, after that, all the other (3) incidents, 2 in this country, I've been rear ended, which is not down to me if I'm at a standstill.

Ahh. I forgot the one that drives me over the edge. Makes me shout my lungs out.

People who indicate right at a roundabout. Then indicate left at the second exit :mad: Thats not how you use them. Id rather they didnt.

Annoying when you are behind them or when trying to enter a roundabout.
