1. Using the right lane while not passing
2. Indicate and change lanes without looking
3. Driving at 20,30, 40 in a 60 - If you can't drive any faster get the bus
4. Believing that you have the right to enforce the law. (70MPH outside lane of motorway - I'm doing the limit so I don't need to move over theory)
5. Accelerating while being passed (Doesn't really matter in a scoob but scary in a 106

1. Tailgating

4. Tailgating
5. People who drive at 45mph no matter what the conditions and speed limits dictate (empty clear road, 45mph, outside village school at chucking out time, 45mph)

I hate it tailgating. But now I pull over and wave them past.

People performing u-turns after a blind corner on a country lane have a special hell reserved for them. Thankfully, I was repeating the mantra - "drive to stop in the distance you can see" last night whilst caning it around the lanes of North Leeds.

1. People occupying an overtaking lane when they aren't overtaking

2. People changing lanes without looking or indicating

3. People who occupy the right hand lane at the lights and only indicate they are turning right when the lights go green.

4. Drivers who slam their brakes on because a crisp packet flutters in the road ahead.

5. People who treat roundabouts as a stop junction

2). Tailgaters
3). Outside Lane Owners
4). Thou Shalt Not Overtake (either speed up, or flash lights at you as you pull back in)
5). Stupidly located traffic lights: when they plant them on / just off of roundabouts, what is the point of the roundabout then?

Nick - I wasn't asking about the spelling. I'm not sure which is correct. Being tailgated implies someone can keep up. I don't understand this concept

To all those of you who don't like being tailgated...

GET OUT Of THE EFFING WAY

lol

*clunk*

Penny has just dropped...

As for getting out the way, I actually stop now in a 30 zone if they've really riled me. If it's on a decent road, providing they're not plod, I may have a little play

Depends on the mood, so I'll restate my hate: tailgaters when there's nowhere for you (or them) to go...

Nick.

Scooby owners (cos i an't got one YET!) jealous

Seeing a scooby coming in rear view mirror and getting out of the way bl**dy QUICK (respect )

MOBILE PHONE users, all should be pulled over and given a phone transplant in a place where the sun don't shine.

NOVA's

My Car

Round-a-bouts with traffic lights - EVERY one in Chester has em!

Speed Bumps on roads where they are a waste of time and probably do damage your car over a period of time. Speed bumps never seem to be located in places where they would do some good - Outside Schools and roads where children play, why is this?

Fog lamps (say no more!)

Speed traps on motorways

Not being able to cruse at 95 on motorways at 3 in the morning (well not legally anyway

etc etc etc.............

Opps, sorry more than 5 hates, i should read the thread more carefully - i'll get me coat!
