I hate it when i approach double lane junction traffic lights. The two lanes both go straight on, one straight on and left turn...the other straight on and right turn. So the que in the left lane is about 12 cars long..just one car in the right lane.There is alot of oncoming traffic on the oppisite side of the lights. Lights on red..i pull up behind the car in the right lane because he is going straight on...Amber ...get ready for a good pull away...Green....oh F@CK, the TW*T in front of me has just put his indicators on for a right turn after sitting there for 5 mins!!!!!....he manages to pull away..just as the lights go red again...i want to kill him!!!!!!!!!!!
Worst driving habit..

Not signalling on roundabouts gets me every time and leaves me sat there like a n0bber.
Theres an increasing number of people who adjust their speed to cause you pain. ie. speed up so you cant get out, or slow down to bridge the gap behind them so you cant get out. Just general miserable behaviour from other drivers.
My rule is to let people out unless they look slow ( Nissan Micras etc) and generally to be happy. People are in too much of a rush all the time.

Middle lane motorway drivers, and the worst of them all......
Where on the motorway the inside lane splits and becomes the exit lane, the ones who keep to the inside lane until the very last minute then cut across into the middle lane to stay on motorway. There have been signs for the past 2 miles, OPEN YOUR FOOKIN EYES!!!!!

You need to drive on the Aston Expressway, Birmingham outbound. The only way people make any progress is to be in the wrong lane and cut in or out later. Those who don't sit there for hours in a single lane of the 4, 5 or 6 in use...
Seriously though I recognise all of the above posted habits and hate them :thumbsdown:
People who don't use indicators. There is no excuse.
People who make a decision, manoeuvre, then use their indicator when they are almost done moving. There is no excuse. And it's taking the piss.
People who approach smaller roundabouts where the lane splits into two, one for straight/left, one for right - they take the left, no indicator, you assume they are going straight then they cut across you on the roundabout. Without using the indicator.
Finally, for now, people with no lane discipline - who believe because they are in front and there is more than one lane, they have the right to randomly choose which one is theirs at any point in time. Especially going round roundabouts with multiple lanes. Without at any time using their indicators.
Really, looking back over what I have written, my biggest problem is that there are so many people who swan around in 2 tons of weapon as if they are the only person on the road, and as a result pay no attention at all. :wkr:

, though going down the outside lane towards the roadworks at 80mph is a bit rude / aggressive

PVR is correct - I hate people who block off miles of unused lane or refuse to drive to the roadworks and merge in alternately. Read the code... (I don't mean aggressice cutting in).
Highway Code - Road works
288 •where lanes are restricted due to road works, merge in turn (see Rule 134)
Rulle 134
You should follow the signs and road markings and get into the lane as directed. In congested road conditions do not change lanes unnecessarily. Merging in turn is recommended but only if safe and appropriate when vehicles are travelling at a very low speed, e.g. when approaching road works or a road traffic incident. It is not recommended at high speed.

My technique for this is to carry on going. If someone looks like they might go all the way round the roundabout, but can't be arsed to press the little lever, then I can't be arsed to press the little middle peddle... Always time it so that I can stop if absolutely needed, but more often than not the lazy tosser on the roundabout gets a fright and woken up from his little bubble. Hopefully they remember to indicate in future. The occasional gesture also serves well....
