Most of it covered, it must be why auto lights are developed, retards are unable to decide when to put the lights on.
2 more though, HGV drivers incorrect use of lights, no or just side lights when its foggy. They are supposed to be professional drivers!! Professional drivers my ****.
Lorries that are lit up like a Christmas tree, they have a line of red LED lights all around the cab and along the bed of the trainer, very bright, very annoying, totally unnecessary. They look like the bloody Xmas Coca Cola lorry

Drivers who cut the corner turning right into minor roads.
Drivers who sit with their foot on the brake at traffic lights - especially annoying in the dark and when its raining.
Hesitant or indecisive drivers at junctions and roundabouts
Those who think their car is twice the width that it actually is on slow manoeuvers
Right turn sliplanes with chevron lead ins, where Mr Impatient in the car behind cant wait until past the chevrons to enter the lane despite having a clear view of my right indicator - this is usually a prelude to committing offense 1 above
I used to love to drive - now I see it as a risk to my safety through the stupidity of others each time I get behind the wheel.

People who drive with steamed up/iced up front windows that can't see where they are going. FFS STOP DRIVING 
Probably the same idiots that set the heater controls to recirculate because they think the extra noise the blower makes means its working better.

If you drive an automatic this is what you do (it's what I do anyway), I never put it in Park and apply the handbrake, takes too long to pull away from the lights. Brake pedal every time!

I don't think they do any safety checks apart from sticking the seatbelt on. I think they faff about with their sweets that they buy from the petrol station and eat them before they pull off. The ones that pay at the pump and still hogging it must WhatsApp their friends from their car before pulling off. "Ooooh, I've just filled some fuel on my car!
Here's the picture of my receipt if you don't believe me!" I feel like saying to them- Who gives a shyte, you waster!! Get out of my way, I have things to do! It has been said before (I think) that the drivers that drive up my backside to make me think that I'm driving too too slow (by complying with the speed limit) for their choice also compels me to think negatively of those people. I label them as chavs and hope they get done for speeding more times than I've been done for it. I never drive or drove that close to anyone regardless.

Rubber neckers are my number 1 pet hate!! People deliberately slowing down to just to gawp at accidents or even just a broken down car who they themselves are just as likely to cause an accident. Get a ******* move on!

That gets my vote! I think I am missing a business opportunity.I need to get an old scrapper & park it on the hard shoulder with the bonnet up.Then set up a booth to charge people £5 to see the the broken down car.
I don't think I would get many takers so what the f**k is the endless fascination?!!!!!

Driving in storm frank (what the **** is storm frank?)
Every **** with every single light on their car on. It was a little bit ****ing rainy down south and they have the headlights, all the foglights, interior lights on the works. Foglights and rain, I had one hell of a headache when I got home!
Then there are the ***** who had no ****ing lights on....
Then the ***** who still want to drive 4"s off the back bumper of the car infront, took me 5hrs to do a trip. That usually takes 2, all because of ********* crashing into each other....

I have a few things that get on my nerves.
Inconsiderate **** that won't let you out when they are going nowhere, even if you're not actually going the same way as them, there's a junction by me that has a set of lights 50m down the road, lights on red, you want to turn either left of right and the amount of people that just block the junction to stop you pulling out is just plain stupid.
People that drive into the yellow hatched area at traffic lights and block the junction when they have nowhere to go, so anyone wanting to turn right can't and then when the lights change they are still there so the traffic in the other direction backs up too and every ****** does the same thing.
People that think indicating gives you the right to pull into the next lane.
People that sit in the right hand lane on 2 lane motorway because they will overtake another car in half a mile/ 5 mins.
**** that try and come down the outside or inside lane and cut in at the last moment when there is obviously a problem ahead and in doing so halt the flow of traffic by causing the consatina braking effect, so I'm the cu*t that blocks them by stradling 2 lanes.

People who block both lanes are ****ing muppets. If it is a two lane stretch, you can use both lanes up until the moment of the obstruction, by queuing all in one lane like sheep, you can have a queue 1 mile long, yet use 2 lanes and it is half a mile. All you are likely to do by blocking lanes like that is cause a confrontation concentrate on your own driving and dont be a **** to others, unless you want others to be a **** to you.........
