10 most annoying road habits

What pi$$es you off?

Mine is the first in the list.  Bloody annoying.

[FatBoy]

Mine is merging.  I can't understand how people don't understand what merging means.  It is simple, it's like a zipper.  Some people think that because they are already on the freeway then they can legally block those trying to merge.  I've seen them speed up or slow down just to block.

[Alasama]

Mine is "People who speed up when you try to overtake them". Hate this.

Being currently in Adelaide, the average IQ hits rock bottom on both hogging the right lane and straddling two lanes when waiting to turn. There should be a biological solution for these idiots.

[Eureka]

You are in a narrow street with cars parked here and there on both sides.  Oncoming car.   One of you has to stop or slow to let the other proceed.   You stop/slow, they proceed right past you with no acknowledgement. 

How much does a simple wave cost them???   

F***wits.

It seems that the hardest thing for people to learn is what indication is needed at roundabouts ,seen many times is someone continuing across a roundabout and yet for some reason they have their right indicator on but go straight on.

[Shambles]

Mine is the first in the list.  Bloody annoying.

I'd have to say "all those things, and more". See a lot of them every day (apart, maybe, from the failure to proceed at a green light due to distraction).

...There should be a biological solution for these idiots.

Yep, chemical castration. Well ok, maybe not that extreme 

[Ugly Mongrel]

1. Failing to indicate left when exiting a roundabout. 
2. Failing to move into an intersection on a right turn red arrow.
3. Tailgating.

[Phil №❶]

Not doing freeway speed, or stopping on the on ramp when entering a freeway.

It seems that the hardest thing for people to learn is what indication is needed at roundabouts ,seen many times is someone continuing across a roundabout and yet for some reason they have their right indicator on but go straight on.

At a two-lane roundabout, a few times I've seen people enter on the left (outer) lane, and continue on the outer lane to turn right, i.e. a clockwise 270 degree turn on the outer lane.  Luckily there was no-one in the right (inner) lane going straight ahead, otherwise they would have been wiped out.

Speaking of annoying roundabout habits.
Can I nominate the two way roundabouts in England.

OOh I don't like the sound of those!

Then there's the Magic Roundabout in Swindon. I had a lot of fun trying a different set of turns every time I drove there.

That's what I'm talking about Gonz.
The one I fell into was at Hemel Hempstead.

Lack of a courtesy wave.
Plus others.

[AlanHo]

They've omitted my pet hate - cars with "baby on Board" signs in the rear window - and even worse "Little princes on Board".

[plasticphyte]

All of those are on my list. The bonus items I loathe are:

- Tailgaters (cars, because tailgating truckies get their own mention later).
- Lane weaving (cars).
- People you overtake that then overtake you after you pass & return back to your lane; only to have them speed up, overtake you and then slow down again once they're back in your lane in front of you.
- Taxi drivers blatantly breaking every road rule in the name of getting a fare.
- People driving whilst on the phone. And most of he morons I see doing it try to hide that they're holding it up to their ear.
One bird a few weeks back was trying to drive her manual vehicle, and succeeded in completing a slalom course across three lanes. Naturally she politely told me to f*ck off when I yelled at her to get off her phone.
I was most delighted to see her pulled up by a copper just a few moments after that.
- Vehicles on motorways that can't maintain the speed limit and go from +/- 10-15 units of speed either side of it within 100 units of distance.
- Tailgating truck drivers. These are the evilest bastards on the planet. They (as a whole) often bitch and moan about how they need space for breaking, and how cars shouldn't cut them off by changing lanes (which are perfectly valid issues) and all that jazz; well if that's the case, why do I see a very good portion of trucks on my daily commute that tailgate at the posted speed limits?
It swings both ways. You drive a vehicle that can carry 30T of pure kinetic death, back the f**k away from my bumper.
- Truck drivers overtaking other trucks, uphill, and across ALL lanes of traffic. Often times reducing what was a smooth flow of traffic down to a snails pace.
- Bogan tradie P platers in utes. They just have this smarmy cocky attitude about them that makes me wish they would have an accident to wipe it off their face. It seems petty, but pretty much every single one of the top ten things & my list is embodied in the driving standard of 90% of the bogan ute drivers I see every day on my run into work.
- Drivers that "tailgate" during peak hour traffic causing the brake light disco & dance festival. Seriously assholes, chill out and slow down. Leave a space and learn how to manage your throttle so you don't waste your brake pads. It also helps smooth the traffic out, and if a lane has to merge, it makes the process easier!

Holy crap. I've just realised I've turned into an 80yo man with a gun yelling at the kids to get off my lawn, Clint Eastwood style.

[Just Rick]

I just hate all other road users,their ALL idiots,I have two simple road rules for other road users.

1 If your in front of me "Get the F#*k out of my way"

2 If your behind me stay there

 

[plasticphyte]

Rick, yours was definitely shorter to type! And I would definitely agree with it!

[Just Rick]

It is unbelievable the idiocy I see one the roads and something I seen today just blew me away(but not for here)

And believe it or not the list = 10

Speeding up while overtaking is mine. Had someone the other day do that.  I finely waited until she thought I backed off. We started going down a hill and I gunned it ( not even hitting 3500rpm) flicked her off going by and then cut into her lane with a couple metres to spare and made her slam her brakes.

Moral of the story...... Dont piss off a medic, we have severe road rage

Hence the reason accidents happen in the first place,although I suffer the same affliction of road rage,I keep it in check to vocalization,as sadly one bad driving act does not fix someone else's,but yes I noticed when we were up in parts of NSW and Qld where they had the limited over taking lanes so many people would be travelling at well under the speed limit and when getting to the overtaking lanes would speed up to the speed limit,you weren't game to overtake them as this seems to be where all the fixed or mobile camera's were placed

[joebris]

1. drivers who turn right from the left side of the lane, please turn from the right hand side of the lane
2. drivers how break before the indicate, indicate first then apply break

I have found that in Queensland, they don't have indicators, they have confirmators!!  They let you know which way they have just turned.
