What do you find to be especially annoying whilst out on the road. You don't have to be able to drive a car to reply, if you're a cyclist, pedestrian or public transport user then please feel free to tell us all what winds you up the most.

For me it has to be the constant speed wombles. Easy to spot, you're on an A road with a speed limit of 60mph then come up behind a queue of 5 cars doing 40mph. Guaranteed you'll find at the front of that queue of vehicles one of these idiots. Driving totally oblivious to the fact that they are holding everyone up. The worst aspect of this is that when you finally reach somewhere where the speed drops down to 30mph they will continue to do 40mph.

The Police. Always there at the worst time.

High Beams.

nothing pisses me off more than driving towards somebody who just refuses to turn off his high beams, thus blinding me

those Jerks

Old drivers... never going the damn speed limit, and also people that you want to pass but then go really fast at the passing lane then tailgate you for the next five miles.

On the way home i have to cross a McDonald's drive in entrance. I often find these lines of cars waiting to go out (as it's a main street and it's pretty busy). Then I have to make my way through the cars and the jackass behind the first car revs his engine and moves a few cm just so I wait for him to pass first then cross, in case the guy in front of him moves first. Dude, if you're in such a fucking hurry don't stop at a flaming drive in. thank you.

Black ice, pedestrians, cops, old drivers, young drivers, animals, speed traps.

Yeah, I would like to drive alone.

Black ice. Living in CO, it does get to us occasionally...

People who don't use turn signals.

I started my driving lessons about a month ago and I already hate cyclists with a passion.

Tailgaters... Huge problem where I live (Colorado)

Tailgaters, I hate them so much!

Other drivers, well, just the ones that hit me

Tailgaters since they just can't accept the fact that I'm going to do the speed limit and I don't care if they like it.
Trying to push me down the road is just going to make me go slower. Their horn also tells me that they approve of my driving slower. And yes, I am number 1, thank you Mr or Mrs Tailgater.

People that slam on their brakes to stop tailgaters. Like that's a good idea.

This, absolutely this. I've almost been run over by a bitch that didn't signal when she was turning out from a roundabout. Oh well... Female drivers, I guess.

Sorry, couldn't help it.

The other drivers. All of them.

Pedestrians who wear the invincible armour of stupidity and stray onto the roads because they don't see why they should spend the extra energy walking the 5 metres to the pedestrian crossing.

Scooters and Cyclists. Worthless little obnoxious twats, the bloody lot of them.

Motorcyclists are the only other road users, aside from me, that I can live with. They seem to realise that when faced with a ton or so of steel, they will always come off second best, so they behave in a manner conducive to a longer life. This is just fine by me.

Old drivers, cops, and tailgaters.

It is. That way when they hit you they're at fault.

But your car is still messed up. And you can still get injured pretty badly.

People getting in my way whilst i am trying to drink coke, talk on my mobile and watch my 20" in car DVD player when driving. Inconsiderate bastards.

Other people.

All of the above. Especially Tail-Gaters. Stop speeding! There's no point, you'll just get to the same pair of red lights about 30 seconds before I do. Congratulations, you just wasted fuel you toss-pot.

People who don't stop at red lights or crosswalks, instead trying to make the yellow light and end up blazing through the red, nearly obliterating any pedestrians (me) at 80km/h. You'll think twice when you see my obituary in the morning paper.

People who talk/text on their cellphones while driving.

YOU WON'T DIE IF YOU TURN THE FUCKING THING OFF, THE ANSWERING MACHINE WAS INVENTED FOR A REASON.

If being connected to the rest of your feeble mortal existence is so important, buy a bluetooth headset and do us all a favour.

[/vent]

People in sports cars who drive at day with there headlights on to draw attention to themselves.

People who turn on their directional signal and a second later try to cut in front of you because they think their blinker is a magical GTFO of my way signal.

people who don't brush snow off their roofs, so it freezes solid and blows off in chunks on the highway. people die from getting hit by ice off of trucks and it's such a stupid, pointless way to die.

Other people.

Seriously, I trust my own driving TEN times more than I trust anyone else.

That my parents are usually with me.

having cops following me.
jerks who have their headlights on when behind me and bbq my retinas when I look in the rear view mirror.
seeing other drivers at a traffic light digging in their noses like it was an archaelogical dig. to add to that, drivers who pick and flick, and topping that is drivers who pick and do exhaustive research.

Within a 36 hour period of time I've had one person turn without a signal followed by another who had a turn signal on so I figure I can enter the lane then she kept going straight ... and gave me a dirty look on top of it.

Also people who turn the otherway from a dual lane exit infront of or with the other side exiting.
