OT/British Roads&Standards.

Things that other Drivers do in this country that get under your skin.


Please feel free to add your own...


1, Driver in inside lane noticing you're about to overtake him in outside lane,and they then accelerate away in the inside lane.

Not indicating at roundabouts

Letting people through then them not saying thank you

Not indicating at roundabouts

This people not indicating in general is f*cking annoying

On the A470 in particular.

People who are sat in the outside lane when there is nobody in the inside.

They move over when you come up behind them and then move back when you have overtaken them.

People who overtake lorries on hills by barely accelerating to get past and then giving up when they run out of road. Yes you in the red Clio on the Machen - Newport Road. Twice in one week FFS.

Middle lane hogs

People who give way to other people trying to get out of the CCS car park when your already been waiting an hour to escape

People who you overtake that immediately race past you just to sit right in front of you again. Cocknobblers.

I could write a hundred replies to this, but here are a few of my annoyances...

Motorbikes - I don't see the logic in the 'think bike' campaign - if they want to weave in and out of traffic, why should I look out for them?

Taxi/bus drivers - erratic, unpredictable, too quick, and sometimes dangerous..

BMWs/Audis - I'll buy such a car one day to see if it makes me a tw*t of a driver, like most of them are. Every other car that cuts me up/generally annoys me is one of these.

The elderly - they blame young'uns for being impatient etc, but the truth is their reaction time is poor, they dawdle along and the majority of them passed their test when all you had to do was drive in a straight line for 50 yards...

Not indicating, as someone has said.

People who drive far below the speed limit, like 40mph on a national speed road. I've had arguments with folks who say the speed limit is a 'limit, and not a guide'. My answer is - why would you go any slower unless conditions aren't very good? If you crawl along on a motorway at 55mph and you're not a lorry or towing something, you're a danger to others.

Wankers in vans who'll sometimes call out random things and take the mickey out of people as they drive past - I've had this happen to me once or twice - you can be as hard as you want in your van, until the next set of lights my friend...

I can feel myself getting annoyed already!!!

Taxi/bus drivers - erratic, unpredictable, too quick, and sometimes dangerous..Taxis aka Kings of the roads.. License to do as they please.

BMWs/Audis - I'll buy such a car one day to see if it makes me a tw*t of a driver, like most of them are. Every other car that cuts me up/generally annoys me is one of these. You automatically become a c**t as soon as you get in the front seat.

The elderly - they blame young'uns for being impatient etc, but the truth is their reaction time is poor, they dawdle along and the majority of them passed their test when all you had to do was drive in a straight line for 50 yards...DON'T GET ME STARTED!!

My answer is - why would you go any slower unless conditions aren't very good? If you crawl along on a motorway at 55mph and you're not a lorry or towing something, you're a danger to others. Worse than speeding and more likely to cause an accident on a major road.

. Count to 10.

"The European Disease" (well that's what i like to call it !!)

having driven across lots of European countries (Belgium, Holland,Germany, France, Spain, Portugal) in my car it seems to be normal driving in those countries and I see it more and more over here in UK these days.

What is it?

BLATANT CUTTING UP - to overtake when the road is clear in front and then swerve in straight away almost taking your front bumper off !!

It happens on A class roads and motorways. - very dangerous but seems to be the norm now ?

I was always taught by my driving instructor to wait to maneuver back in after overtaking until I could see the vehicle that I overtook in my rear view mirror.

The general standard of aggressive drivers - CHANCERS - I see em every day.

Everyone should be made to drive a bus for a week arou nd Cardiff. Do it for a week then see things from a bus drivers perspective, I'll gaurantee anyone whose got road rage driving a car will have it double with a bus.
