Your driving pet peeves...
pudding:
Yeah lane merging usually always gets heated these days, and ties in nicely with......
......people who think indicating = right of way.
You know the sorts. Throbbers in vans (usually) who pull alongside you in the left lane, then indicate and steer at the same time to force a gap that didn't exist. Arrogant bank stains. I pinch them off now. Not standing for that rubbish anymore. Join the queue like everyone else.

I've got no problem with people merging in turn when they are already in front of me on the road. These days I even give way to someone alongside me who politely indicates without forcing their way in.....
It's the ones that try to race forward/to make up as much ground as possible, or those that think an indicator means right of way that I end up being stubborn with, even if it means bumper to bumper with the car in front to stop them taking the piss
I am a lot more sedate these days than I once was, mainly as I often have my two young children in the car
pudding:
Ha, the worst are the ones who force their way in with no indication or acknowledgment!
Similarly, being let out of a side road seems to have become a god given right to some people as well. The people who just drive out into the road and EXPECT someone to yield I always block off regardless, but what is becoming increasingly more common is zero gratitude from those you do flash out of a side road. It happens to me so often now, I've just stopped letting anyone out full stop.

2. People who can't maintain a consistent speed so you end up overtaking them over and over again as the speed up past you, drop in then slow down

Point 2 is especially annoying when you are on cruise control and don't want to speed up to pass them..
Point 1 - isnt it more like 56-58-100?

Where a slip road joins the main carriageway there are dotted lines telling you it is a give way. I hate it when people just push their way on expecting you to brake or move over even if there is other traffic.
