    1= Using mobile phone while driving
    2= Driving 2" from my rear bumper
    3= Driving well under the speed limit for no reason ( weather etc)
    4= Indicating to go left in a lane that you can only turn left in :)

    Not acknowledging with a friend raise of the hand, or even a little nob of appreciation when you let someone through coming the other

    Got to be honest, I usually indicate when going left in a left only lane(for example Huddersfield Road onto Old Mill Lane). At the end of the day, it doesn't hurt anyone to make double sure people know what you're planning on doing(people who are not familiar with the road layout for instance).

    I'm actually quite pleased that I've never seen one of those.

    When you slow down/stop to let somebody out of a junction, but they don't seem to want to move.

    1= People making rude signs at me when I'm using my mobile phone
    2= People who flash their brake lights when I'm up close behind them
    3= People who get frustrated when I decide to drive really slowly because I want to admire the view
    4= People who get annoyed when I use my indicator, even though it's clear where I'm heading

    People who drive on the left side of the road instead of the right side. ;)

    People who let a load of left-turning people out at a junction when you are the only person behind them!! Don't get me wrong, I let people out where I can but if there's only one car (i.e. me) for miles behind them then it is faster to drive past and then let the cars pull out into the space behind.

    That's because they ate completely oblivious to whats going on and as such should not be allowed to drive

    Mine is people who try to maneuver around me whilst I'm reversing on to my drive

    People who use my street to cut a corner if and drive like it's ****ing brands Hatch

    Near where I live there's a hill, which sort of has 2 lanes on either side. The inside lane is half parking bays and half cycle lane, and the right lane is for cars to go up/down the road. People who turn left at the end of the road often drive half and half down the cycle lane and the road. It really grinds my gears. The only thing worse is the people who do this but then want to go right at the end so there was no physical point of straddling the left hand lane anyway.

    Oh and people who text when they drive. I can barely text when I'm not driving, let alone at 40mph whilst supposedly in control of a ton and a half of car.

    Going 40 in a 60 zone, maintaining speed when it goes to 30/20 then again when back up to 60.

    Loud music which is always terrible - it's never a good tune.

    Fog lights on or cheap versions of daytime running lights.

    Accelerating up our street until 6000rpm in second while cars on either side and families living both sides of the street.

    Those mobile users who think you can get round the ban by switching on speakerphone and holding it down by your crotch.

    The amount of people you see who appear to be chatting to their genitals.

    The amount of folk you see driving round town with their phone clearly to their ear I always wondered if the ban is actually enforced. Never heard of anyone getting pulled over for it and you see it all the time

    This used to piss me off no end. I lived in the countryside and had to do a stretch of country road to get home. About half way on the road there was a small village where it went to 30, immediately followed by a roundabout, then straight into the only straight bit of road where overtaking was possible. Used to always get stuck behind 40mph plodders who would then fly through the village at the same speed, then by the time I'd caught back up with them after the roundabout it was too late to get past them so I'd be stuck behind them for the full trip. T0ssers the lot of them.
