Most hated driving behaviour of other motorists?

hat wearers.

Any one that wears head gear while driving immediatelu turns into a moron behind the wheel.

For proof, next time you are out and about look closer at the prat who has just cut you up, pulled out without looking, hogging the middle lane, driving with fog lights on, taligating & see what a high proportion wear head gear

MTC.

p.s. and if they have facial hair be very scared !

Another little annoyance:

Vehicles stopped in traffic with their brake lights on dazzling the driver behind them, especially at night. Why can't they use the handbrake?

I haven't read all of this thread but what really annoys me is the attitude of some drivers to being caught speeding!
If you were speeding and got caught, tough! Pay up and shut up!
Don't want a fine? Don't speed. It's pretty simple really.

Whilst driving through a 30 zone this morning (doing < 30), a girl in a crappy saxo overtook me, whilst talking on the phone. This was on a road which is access to a supermarket, two petrol stations, several factories, a hospital and a school playing field! I'm sure she was totally unaware of the risk she posed - just that I was driving slower than her!

It doesn't make any difference whether it is manual or automatic, they have still got their foot on the brake dazzling the driver behind.

ok spotter i see your point now.


Perhaps if drivers find brake lights dazzling they should get their eyes tested or give up driving and find something else a litle bit less hazardous to their health.

It is actually in the Driving Theory test that you should apply handbrake when stopped in traffic so other drivers aren't dazzled.

You really should read the Highway code instead of trying to make out you know the rules when you clearly don't. It is not a threat to other drivers' health, but a real and present danger. Being dazzled while behind the wheel could lead to serious injury or fatalities.

In response to your comment, I think perhaps you should give up driving until you have equipped yourself with the latest Highway Code, or if possible in your case, some common sense.

Seen something that really made my blood boil yesterday. Walking back to our car after shopping in a local market, saw a mini metro car parked up, in the back was three adults, two small toddlers and two of the adults were holding babies, there was another lady in the front and a boy of about 8 sitting in the drivers seat playing with the steering wheel. So, with the driver that made 10 people!!!! I looked around in vain, for a policeman or traffic warden.....of course when you want one they are as hard to find as hens teeth. With hindsight, I should have taken the reg and called the police. Things like this make me so angry!

because we're under 60 and weren't taught to drive with the handbrake as our best friend. Nothing worse than somebody sitting in traffic with their handbrake on and forgetting to take it back off before starting. Use your footbrake it's what it's there for.

well if you park close enough to the car in front there's no worries about being 'dazzled' by a dull light
