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

What about drivers that indicate on roundabouts and gob****es drive onto the roundabout in front of them?

Cheap feckers driving in the dark (in city) with only parking lights on. I am convinced they do it to save the headlight bulbs.

When long vehicle drivers decide to enter a roundabout when I'm turning right, and am indicating so, and force me to stop dead on the roundabout to avoid a crash. This should be a rare event, but happens so effing much at a roundabout locally. And yes, my indicators do work, when I beep them they give me an eff you look.

Blow the horn at the buggers if they badly cut you off! You can just tell that some drivers will cut you off if you slow down by 0.0001km/h. You can see them edging out and staring at you. I always give them a wag of the indict finger as I drive past.

Those people who nudge out the nose of their car. Had to swerve to the middle of the road today as an a**hole drove (rapidly) the front half of his car from a petrol station out onto the road expecting me to slam my brakes and wave him out. Middle finger and a mouthing of pr*ck does the job for the blood pressure :pac:

No no, they do it so they don't drain their battery

When people flash you to get out of the overtaking lane even tho you can't because there's a car to the left of you..

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.

.

This.... Every morning I see this, it annoys the hell out of me

Ya'll need to go over to Ranting & Raving forum, there be a thread there just for this.

K.Flyer · 04-01-2014 11:56PM

When you are driving along a road and there are no cars behind you and the idiot guns it out of a side road just to get in front of you instead of waiting for you to pass. (.. and then stays well below the speed limit)

The moron who cuts across two or three lanes for their exit and nearly causes carnage.

FOG LIGHTS !! When there is No F&@king Fog..

Irish spec cars may as well have mirrors, indicators, lights and some of the windows as optional extras. Why should people have to pay for things they cant or dont know how to use!!

Guest0000 · 05-01-2014 12:07AM

No indicators, even though your turning...
Fogs on, even though no fog..why not put the rear ones on too,
German plates, ...on a Subaru :rolleyes: or anything else for ffs....

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

Seen someone doing this once before, truck behind them, car got absolutely obliterated, how someone can justify slowing down to 50kms on a 120km road is beyond me

Also how dare everyone be on my roads :P

nikinova · 05-01-2014 12:31AM

Slow drivers, in a 100km road driving at 40km
Full headlights on regardless if it is dark or not
No indication going left or right
Wrong lane coming up to a roundabout
Feckers who won't let you out on to another lane in rush hour.
Feckers feckers who beep when you haven't taken off in less than 1 second after the trafffic lights have turned green.
Certain drivers (you know who you are...!!) who feel that they own the road and tailgate the hell out of the car in front.
A______s who deck the brakes over bumps...

Oh feck...I feel a panic attack coming on ...drivers in Ireland - we need to have a yearly NCT on our driving ...who agrees???

Should have a theory test when your car is being retested. If you fail you cant have the car back. You get 5 goes and if you fail your car goes in the crusher.

Once, thankfully only once, a car was in the exit lane ahead of me, big truck behind me, and at the last minute the driver ahead realised they were at the wrong exit and braked to a halt. I slammed on, as did the truck driver behind me but obviously he driving a big ass vehicle, couldn't stop momentum as fast as me. I was so focused on my 4 month old child being in the back I couldn't even think of beeping (my little puegot sounded silly anyway) but by god did that truck driver blow the other guy out of it. Thankfully the ass ahead could rejoin traffic so I could move on before tragedy struck.

I'll never forget the face on that poor truck driver, I'm sure he thought he was about to end someone's life at that moment and it would not have been his fault in any way if the worst had happened. Thank god/whomever it didn't.

BrokenArrows · 05-01-2014 01:04AM

Slow down to a crawel for apparently no reason and then indicate after they have already started to turn.

You have to PM one of the Mods to access it, someone will come along and tell you who they are, I can't remember.

Keefg, overheal are two anyway

lmaopml · 05-01-2014 01:15AM

I drive a one litre, yes it's a Micra - and it's a pretty cool car imo :cool:, needs nothing but a yearly service and it goes on air - low cost mileage.

Anyway, it really pisses me off when on a roundabout - take Walkinstown for instance - just because it's a one litre they decide to take the wrong lane because they think my car doesn't move quick enough and cut me up - clearly small d*ck syndrome, meh. There's a lot of that about.

Totally dangerous too - I wish more people knew how to use roundabouts properly!!!

Samsgirl · 05-01-2014 02:02AM

When I have the babies with me I park in a space with plenty of door opening room cos it can be hard to get them in & out of the car. Only to return to the car to find some gob****e has parked right up bedside a door. Ehm, car seats are visible on the back seat!!!!!!

taytobreath · 05-01-2014 02:11AM

if i reach the roundabout before any other car i have the right to enter that roundabout therefore giving me right of way. Some people treat a roundabout like a normal junction and will blow their horn and get very angry because they think i have pulled out in front of them.

diomed · 05-01-2014 02:15AM

Drive nice cars. Feckers.

Stiletto72 · 05-01-2014 02:18AM

Using fog lights when we only get about 2 days of fog every year.
Fog lights. The clue is in the name!

Mince Pie · 05-01-2014 02:24AM

Twice this week I have been stuck behind some moron with fog lights!!

People in the overtaking lane when the rest of the road is totally clear. Absolute Fcuktards!

And why is it no-one is ever in the driving lane unless you are joining the motorway from a slip lane, then and only then is it full of numpties who won't let you join so instead of accelerating you have to slow down.

Indicators!!!!!

Ferris_Bueller · 05-01-2014 02:25AM

Getting stuck behind a tractor

SpaceTime · 05-01-2014 02:27AM

Drivers who drive too slowly for the road and conditions and then speed up when you try to overtake them as they see it as a challenge to their fragile ego!

johnpawl · 05-01-2014 02:27AM

The one that drives me mad is when you're driving behind a car at night and want to overtake but can't see if there's a straight coming up or not cos they're driving all the time with the dims on

Mince Pie · 05-01-2014 02:29AM

Oh and getting stuck behind (usually a micra) a car at night driving about 25mph and braking everytime there is a car coming the opposite direction like its all of a sudden turned into a one track road.

:eek::eek: You were fair lucky there!

I had just started overtaking the truck and i seen the car jam on its breaks next thing debris everywhere and a bang and a lot of squealing, messy was an understatement, never found out what happened to the person in the car though, they were able to talk and so on so i presume they got out ok, when the guards came they took my statement and let me on
