Ok I know it's a sunday morning, and sunday morning drivers etc but I've just come in from a long drive and this has made me livid, even though I know it shouldn't
Why the fuck do some people indicate right approaching a roundabout when they intend to go straight on?

or... they are lost.
It should be legal for people to use RPGs on caravan and HGV drivers who don't pull over on single carriageway roads, and on middle lane morons.
I won't even start talking about the incident today where a parked car started pulling out just as I was behind him without even bothering to switch the indicator on first. Here's hoping the cunt crashes.
My god, I hate this! Or people who pay no attention to speed limits. Its 70!! Go, go, go, why are you still at 40?! Twat.
Some people feel unsafe doing high speeds. When my mum started driving, she didn't drive that fast because of her confidence.
My car has the power of one half dead asthmatic horse and I can never get up to speed very quick, especially going uphill onto a highway onramp. I always feel like such a douchebag asshole going so slow pissing everybody off
Middle lane fuckwits are the worst. If you can't understand the simple concept that you should stick to the nearside lane unless overtaking you should not be driving.
I've can't even escape idiots on the road on my time off. Come the weekend it seems every flat cap wearing old cunt decides to have a nice trip to the forest. This apparently means stopping everytime you see a pony or cattle - which is every couple of hundred metres.
Old people should not drive.
Modern cars are very powerful. It doesn't do the engine any good if it's constantly doing 30mph in third gear. It's why city cars tend not to last as long - all that starting and stopping and all those speed limit restrictions are bad for a car's health. What I would say, however, is that there's no point buying a flashy car with a big engine if you don't intend to use some of that power. For example, I wouldn't buy a Ferrari and then go around everywhere at 40mph - what would be the point in that?
In defence of slow drivers everywhere, however, I must state how bloody irritating it is when the driver behind you, who clearly wants to go a lot faster, is tailgating you everywhere because he can. When I'd been driving for about three months, it gave me great pleasure one time in braking very harshly whilst someone was giving me that treatment. Sufficient to say the cunt wasn't feeling as smug after that and kept his distance. I was doing 55mph already, ffs...
I HATE FUCKING SLOW DRIVERS, specially on the straight to my work its 60, go 60 not fucking 20 you fucktard,
that and cyclists who have to drive in the middle, and i mean trace the central line like a robot that follows the white line, next time i see one out comes the 2/4 with nails in it, cycle after that fucktard, and pedestrians who think they can walk out in front of you in a car park, it may be a car park but its still a ROAD,
Grrr i hate most drivers, most are fucktards.
We have the same problems around here with owd codgers driving too slowly. Last week on the A1 I was stuck behind some old twat doing 36mph and the highlight of my driving career has to be the ancient douchebag in the Golf GTI doing 17mph on the A68.
If I had a Land Rover Defender I'd just ram the fuckers off the road.
aye i was gonna say that...i used to have a daewoo matiz (800cc engine!!!) and could still manage to go at 70 on motorways...i once did 80 but the poor thing was rattling...lol. i did have trouble going up hills though, specially if i had people in the back.
Because people are stupid, and their stupid habits breed throughout their driving life. And, just as stupidly, nobody is ever re-tested, so there's little chance of eradicating such poor habits.
Because your speedometer doesn't give a totally accurate reading of your speed.
Yes, I do understand the mechanics of speedometers
As a current motorist, I can't see any point in giving cyclists anything to improve their road experience, because non of them ever use it. In terms of the percentage who don't follow the rules of the road, cyclists must come in at a good 70-80%, not including those who don't wear a helmet. We've just had a huge road reworking in my town to incorporate an extensive cycle lane network. But do any of them use it? Do they buggery. They go on the road with the cars because it's a tenth of a second quicker. Also those flashing lights should be banned. "My light's about as bright as a firefly on an off day. What should I do to make myself more visible to cars? I know, I'll set it so that it's only on half the time." :rolleyes:
As for roundabouts, I've never understood how so many people don't get such a simple concept. Indicate the direction you're going, then indicate left just before you get to the exit you're going to take. It's not rocket science. I can understand not bothering if you're a lazy person, but how do some people try and still get it wrong?
It's annoying because every car should be fast enough to go at a normal speed, but not every car is fast enough to overtake the idiot safely when they do go slow. I usually have to have a bit of a run up in my car.
I think my car is a 1.3 as well but has 79 hp and 75torque. It isn't going anywhere anytime soon I dare anybody to say that any car can get up to speed fast enough to drive it.
I don't think you need to travel at the speed limit, but you should be working towards it. I'd expect anywhere between 25-30 in a 30mph area, 35-40mph in a 40, and 50-60 on a single carriageway (or less, a country road near me it so bendy it's dangerous to go round at more than 40) and a motorway 60mph+ normally unless you have a caravan / lorry / etc.
My pet peeve is people who tailgate you despite you doing the speed limit. Ever tried overtaking someone on a busy motorway? You might be going 80. Then the guy in his fucking mercedes is trying to kiss your bumper because he wants to travel at 100. On a bike if he hits my back wheel I end up dead.
