Your driving pet peeves...

2. People that don't let ambulances or other services out.
3. People smoking in their cars (to me just as bad as on the phone)
4. People that look at you like you just punched their child for honking at them when they've sat at a green light until it goes red.

I smoked for years. I have used my car whilst driving years ago. It's nowhere near as distracting, for one you can put both hands on the wheel whilst smoking. Secondly, a lot of phone users try to text with a touch screen. That's just dangerous. You can spot someone on the phone from miles off, they're generally swerving all over the middle lane whilst getting under and overtaken. Smokers are harder to spot until the burning embers flying towards your bonnet

Lol you luckily haven't witnessed someone searching their whole car looking for a lighter

Ahhh, they're not your generic smoker. They're rookies with poor fagmin. A pro knows where there lighter is at all times

Oh yes - this is one of mine too. WTF! Saw so much of this at the weekend on a rare trip up to Lincolnshire. I thought driving on the M4 was bad, and then I've seen how people are on a less crowded motorway like the A1M. Honestly.., just pick your speed and keep to it! Don't tailgate me to get me out of the way and then slow down once you're past... I'd rather you keep going so you're in front & I can anticipate some moronic move you'll pull...!

Merge lanes.
Angry women drivers.
I just dread it when I come across lanes that merge two into one.
One day an old woman was so close that her mirror was overlapping my mirror, she was going mental.
Same junction months later, woman trying to push in, not merging just bloody mindedly forcing her way in. She leant on the horn for a good ten seconds (offence) then for some random reason got her huge phone out (offence) and took a photo of our car stopped at a roundabout further along.
