People in front, stopping at roundabouts/junctions and then starting to look if its clear to proceed, instead of looking both ways before you reach the junction, so if its clear, you can blend out without stopping.

Also people who don't indicate. You are waiting at a junction because there is a car coming, and they then turn into the road that you are coming out of, arrghhh! :bang:

silly boy...indicators are optional fittings on cars these days doncha know..

1. Badly positioned right turners who use both lanes so you can't pass to their left..
2. Cyclists..and pedestrians..who wear dark clothing and think lights are optional at night..
3. Idiots who drive too fast for the conditions..e.g. fog, ice etc..
4. White vans being driven one handed 20mph over the limit while phoning/texting/smoking/reading the paper etc..
5...and everyone else on the road except me....probably..aaarrgghh! :rant:

In rural France?
budy tractors, and oncoming drivers straddling where the white line would be, if there was one. :hgf:

in Ireland?

Irish in front of me. Or behind. Or somewhere around.
The worst drivers in the world - no driving lessons or practical test was mandatory until recently.
Biggest challenge for them is to overtake a tractor which is driving on the hard shoulder of a multi lane road. Results in a traffic jam immediately.

Inconsiderate drivers.
Inappropriate use/non use of lights/indicators.
Middle lane hoggers.
Tailgaters.

:rant: Drivers locally (Coventry) seem to have no concept of lane discipline, and as a result just go where they want regardless of any other road user. :bang:

Probably not unique to here though.

Cyclists who don't use cycle lanes built for their use at incredible expense to the tax payer :rant:

People that don't see the GLF signs and then dawdle along at whatever speed limit it was before the GLF sign.

Boy racers speeding in built up areas, usually in a corsa/saxo/106/fiesta shite box

Cars that cant turn right without cutting the corner!

Usually as you are approaching a T junction, and a car turning right into your road nearly takes your bumper off.

People who approach a roundabout in the right hand lane, to then turn left, all because they can't be bothered to wait in the queue that everyone else is sitting in.

Generally though, the worst thing is when other people are on my road. :rant:
