Your Pet Driving Hates

Pet Hates about other drivers

Gizmo2brian driving a Ford Escort says
Drivers who don't signal at roundabouts. Middle lane hoggers on the motorway when there's nothing in the left hand lane, meaning you have to go across all 3 lanes to get past them. Undertaking on motorways. Mobile phone users.

Amykins driving a Renault clio says
tailgaters... No, I won't go faster just for you... No, driving at 65mph in the left lane is not 'too slow' and overtaking a lorry at 70mph is not 'too slow' ... sit still, back off, be patient and overtake me if you must.. but crawling in my boot will not make me go any faster..

Sarah D driving a Unknown vehicle says
ABLE BODIED PEOPLE PARKING IN SPACES RESERVED FOR DISABLED PEOPLE. IF YOU WANT THE SPACE SO BADLY, DO YOU ALSO WANT THE DISABILITY? I DON'T THINK SO. DON'T DO IT - IT IS SELFISH AND ARROGANT!

Joseph driving a Ford Cougar V6 says
I absolutely loathe people who tailgate, I cannot abide it, I sometimes lose my temper and floor it to lose them, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't! I have a few Classic cars which I drive too, and the amount of drivers out there that treat me and my classic with utter contempt is unbelieveable, cutting me up, driving 4 inches from my back bumper virtually trying to run me off the road, all makes me very angry. I also hate people that blatantly break the most basic of road rules such as deliberatly going against road signs, like doing a U-Turn when theres a sign saying no U-turns, stuff like that, and theres no police around to catch them doing it

Stu-Dog driving a Volkswagen Jetta says
When city driving, I can't stand it when the car infront of me is braking, for what appears to be no reason, then uses the turn signal to indicate what they are intending to do.... which is turn. These people should first use the turn signal, then slow down.

Sensible Lady driving a Renault Polo says
People who don't indicate on roundabouts. People who tailgate because you are keeping to the speed limit. People who hesitate to make a timely manoeuvres at junctions. People on mobile phones. People smoking while driving and chucking their disgusting cigarette ends out of the window.

Landy0001 driving a Land Rover Defender 90 says
People who can't bother to park properly outside the shops.

Independence driving a Volvo 440 says
I don't get angry at other people's mistakes - we all make them. I loathe aggressive drivers, tailgaters, and people who come up on my left when I'm indicating to come off a roundabout then hoot at me - especially when it's a roundabout with (supposedly) only one lane around it. This happens continually at one I pass every day, usually because drivers coming off the M1 think they should still be doing 70.

Steve driving a Ford focus says
people driving in the middle lane on motorways

Kimbo KanDrive driving a Seat Ibiza says
Women applying makeup and brushing their hair as if anyone is actually interested. Old codgers looking straight ahead in a trance not using any mirrors and doin atleast 10mph under the speed limit. Anyone on a phone. Men putting their arm straight on top of the steering wheel trying to look cool as if they were gangsters. People chucking their cigs out of car windows that then hits your car I bet their cars reak. People who speed up as you go to overtake them to boost their pathetic ego Cars with no indicators!!! Vehicles with no break lights. People who stop dead at every right or left turn, don't they have 2nd gear?!

JD driving a Volkswagen Polo says
Tailgating Lack of Indicators (esp. on roundabouts)

Darkside driving a Volvo says
Too many speed cameras, and not enough Police patrols. Total disregard for mobile phone law whilst driving. Inconsiderate drivers.

Bitter And Twisted driving a Volvo says
Feel like I am one of the few drivers who sticks to speed limits - my pet hate is the tailgating idiot, who can't understand the simple concept of a speed limit.

Tyrone driving a Ford transit says
white van man in london

CraigyB driving a BMW 320D says
drivers who drive at 40 or 50 in a 60 limit!

Paul driving a Peugeot 406 HDi 2.2 saloon says
1. Driving needlessly close to the vehicle in front. Not necessarily too close to me, just any vehicle. I'm amazed by how many people follow a slower moving vehicle so closely that they can't see past it in order to overtake swiftly and safely. Instead they swing out to the right at random in the hope that there might be a suitable gap in which to pass. Why not sit back LOOK LOOK and LOOK again. It buys you time and vision. Therefore you can go past sooner and faster and safely.

Kjork driving a Mercedes C Class says
Just thought of another....LORRY DRIVERS... 1st they think they have the god given right to pull out in front of you on dual carriageways or motorways causing us car drivers to brake from 70mph to 56mph 2nd They then proceed to overtake another lorry that is also restricted to 56mph and then take 6 miles to do an overtake, meanwhile holding up 200 cars.

Kjork driving a Mercedes C Class says
Idiots that sit in the central lane of the motorway

Boris driving a Bentley BigOne says
That idiot Ken who makes me pay money just to drive my car. When will they get rid of him???

V driving a Vauxhall Vectra says
Not letting me overtake in the overtaking lane.

Roscoe Gogo driving a Ford Ka says
People who indicate in a contraflow. Where else are they going to go in a straight line!.

Toonboy driving a BMW 320D T says
People who sit in the middle lane of Motorways the goverment spend millions of pounds(which is our money ) tobuild motorways with 3 or more lanes dont sit in the middle when there is room on the inside,read the highway code.Also why don't people use indicaters the car is fitted with them USE them

Frosty driving a Audi A4 says
I've just found this site for the first time. A lot of people here seem to want to criticise "undertaking". I do not condone this practice but you should all think about it and realise that the real wrong-doer here is nearly always the person who is BEING "undertaken". If someone CAN pass you in a lane to your left, it almost certainly means that there was space and time for YOU to move into that lane and you should have done so, so that nobody would have had the need to even consider "undertaking" you!

Nick driving a Honda Accord says
Cyclists that cycle on fast 70 MPH 'A' roads (e.g. A3) despite there being a proper cycle track literally 2 metres to their left (seriously)!!

Anti4x4 driving a Unknown vehicle 4X4 CHELSEA TRACTOR says
Women in 4x4's driving nears schools over the speed limit whilst on the phone. All done while their child is in the car.

Ginge driving a Ford focas says
People who drive too close. People that seem to sleep at wheel,they dont look before they make a move. People that sit there at a juction or roundabout - waiting for a written invitation to move. Women drivers - I am one, but my there are some dozy birds on the road. Boy racers make laugh!

Simon driving a Skoda Octavaia says
I hate those people who drive at c45-50 mph miles WHATEVER the speed limit. If they are behind you then they're up your arse in 30 zones and then out of sight at 60 then back up your arse the next time you reach a village. When they are in front they hold you up until you reach a 30 zone then you don't see them for dust.

Cippo driving a Citroen says
People complaining about cyclists (Kev) and who make gross assumptions about cyclists. I do pay road tax on my car, and insurance. My bike is also insured (third party liabilty). I have driven for 25 years, no accidents or convictions for anything, so I think I am aware of my surroundings.

Kev driving a Peugeot 206 says
bicycles. Shold have to pay road tax. Not one are aware of their surroundings

Mark driving a Honda Civic says
My pet hate is when you get stuck behind someone doing say 40mph when the speed limit is the national speed limit then when the speed limit goes down to 30mph they just carry on going at 40mph. PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD!

Dipsy driving a Volvo V40 T4 Sport says
rude drivers that seem unable to acknowledge/thank other drivers that let them in /out at junctions etc.... not hard is it a wave of the hand

Barbelblanker driving a Toyota avensis says
Tail gating. Agressive driving. Supplementary fog lights (front) on without main beam or even Fog. Using phone.

TM driving a Ford Focus says
Drivers who approach a roundabout in the left-hand lane, and then turn right (i.e. take the last exit that isn't "doubling back")

Jim driving a Vauxhall Tigra says
Drivers who insist on maintaining a speed of 50-60mph in the middle/far lane on the motorway, whilst the nearside lane is clear.

Kentman driving a Nissan X Trail says
Drivers using mobile phones. There should be a mandatory fine of £1000 plus 5 penalty points. There is no excuse whatsoever for anyone doing this act whilst driving. There is no such thing as its an emergency. If it is then stop and pull over. The police fail to enforce this law enough and I get so cross when I see drivers blatantly driving and talking on the phone at the same time.

Ange driving a Peugeot 307 says
People who hog the middle lane on the motorway and refuse to move over. It leaves people with no alternative but to undertake and causes traffic. Its like they are scared to be in the slow lane. 9 times out of 10 the slow lane flows faster that the other lanes because of these idiots. These people should be fined!

Ange driving a Peugeot 307 says
I hate it when people get in the wrong lane at a roundabout and think that if they indicate they can go where they please. Or even worse people in the wrong land who don't indicate!

PDS24649449 driving a Nissan Primera says
Driving on Mobiles No indication pulling out in front of you with no warning. Not wearing seat belts Driving with no lights on Rubber necking Sticking to the righthand lane

Audi Driver driving a Audi S8 V10 says
I drive a very big car and I hate it when people don't leave enough space to get out of car spaces, just because theres a little space between the car be hide me and my car doesn't mean you have to fucking fill it!

Welshy driving a Volvo says
when i pull out to overtake a vehicle on a dual carriageway or motorway, and when u are side by side they speed up. I drive a coach, dont these people realise its dangerous.

Hoppy driving a Audi s3 says
middle lane hoggers

Dick Fitz driving a Fiat Punto says
middle lane drivers!!!! Wne i over take these drivers and change lane after, i always put 3 fingers up to represent how many lanes there are. They soon move into the first lane!!!

DirtyGary driving a Honda Integra Type R says
People don't pay attention to the speed limit. I find it particularly irrating when people brake to say 40mph from 60mph on a typical country lane when they are going through a speed camera. I mean, how can people not see the big national speed limit sign which normally attached to a speed camera warning sign anyway right before a gatso? Stupid!

Mike East Sussex driving a Ford says
1. Sitting in the centre lane on motorways when there is ample opportunity to get back into the left lane therefore making more considerate drivers use all 3 lanes to overtake them. 2. drivers pulling out to overtake and sit there at about 1mph faster than the car they are actually overtaking! 3. Using fog lights then leaving them on. 4. not using the whole of the slip road when entering dual carriageways or motorways which then causes other drivers to stop.

Robert driving a Vauxhall Corsa says
Drivers on mobile phones. There is NO EXCUSE for it, full stop! Also, people that use normal lights in fair light conditions when they can use sidelights that stop unnecessary dazzle to oncoming traffic. They're there for a reason, use them! And that reminds me -- misaligned lights!!

Madmark driving a Volkswagen Caravelle T4 says
Parents driving their kids to school. We all know when its half term?! Half term=half traffic. I walk or cycle with my 6 year old to school (towing his little brother on a trail-gator). I have NEVER seen so many FAT, out of condition adults. And when they park? well what are yellow zig zags for? then they try to run over other parents when they park on the pavement. No signals, then they tell you to fuck off when they drive AT you on the wrong side of the road. Get out of your car for that mile journey, make an arrangement with your boss to have a half our lunch to make up the time. Take your kids to school by foot or cycle, or live somewhere sensible. USE YOUR MIRRORS for cyclists, don't cut us up, dont drive at us, we drive on the LEFT side of the road, you wouldnt drive at me if I was in my van, in my builders garb, so dont try it in your car. Remember we can catch you in rush our traffic and then escape undetected (no number plates) if you want to make something of it. Cars do not have exclusive right to the road. We have a right to cross the road, you are automatically in the wrong if you hit a cyclist, pedestrian. You can become a killer.

Mirror driving a Volvo S60 says
People like the "Watcher" who give a one sided and biased report on others displaying their own inadequacies and shallow lives.

DOH driving a Aston Martin db9 says
Right, a chance to let my feeling out, most of which have already been mentioned but what the heck, this is like therapy. 1. People driving below the speed limit..I understand people of a certain age are prone to this god bless them but seriously, if you cant do it please pull over and get a taxi. Im fine with people driving to the limit 2. Parking in two spaces. WHY WHY WHY!! what makes you so important that you need two??? stop being so greedy especially when its a busy car park!!! STUPID 3. Tailgating, Ok, im guessing you need to get to where your going quickly but getting up my arse WILL result in me braking abruptly to send you the signal to back off which might result in us having a bump but remember if you hit someone from behind 9 times out of 10 it will be seen as your fault so use your brain. 4. Fog lights, FOR FOG 5. High Beams, for god sake learn about your car, make sure your beams are low unless needed, it dazzles people and makes them want to hit you in the arm as punishment. 6. Forgetting to turn your full beams off down country roads when another car is coming a different way. PAY ATTENTION instead of thinking about what you want for tea. 7. Not signaling at roundabouts. Your indicators are there for a reason not just for decor. 8. Not indicating on motorways. THINK, we are all mostly travelling over 70mph, we all know having an accident at that speed is pretty bad for our health so why try to cause one. 9. People driving up HGV drivers bums when they are trying to overtake in the middle lane, ok.. i dont like it when they do this and the traffics bad but getting up there arses has an effect on the drivers where they pull back into there line too soon nearly sideswipping the other HGV/driver. Give them some respect, they are on there more than you are. 10. Saying thank you..If i am polite enough to stop and let someone pull out or go out of my way to convenience them can they just wave to say thanks...its just nice and friendly.. plus it stops me screaming swear words to myself. 11. Stopping when inconvenient to other road users. please dont just brake and stop in the middle of the road because your lost. Either plan your journey before hand or wait until a safe place to pull in. 12. Road Works..we all know the issues with them. 13. People looking at me like im weird, yes im a 22 year old girl driving an aston martin, SO WHAT. NO my 'daddy' didnt buy it me, its not someone elses, i didnt steal it and i dont work for a garage. Phew...well... im tired now.

K1200S driving a Motorcycle BMW says
As a motorcyclist my number one pet hate is the use of foglights when it's not foggy. They dazzle oncoming traffic horribly. At night, in wet weather, looking through a visor (and glasses in my case) they are a real problem.

FreddyFlintstoned driving a Nissan Micra says
I hate Micra's so much I have just bought a second hand one today. It goes to the scrap yard tomorrow. One less Micra on the road. Hahahahahahahah! That should ease congestion on the road.

Lah driving a Porsche says
Drivers who tailgate (its not going to get you there any faster m8), drivers who swerve all over the road to try and intimidate you (wtf? who are ya?) and generally ppl who shud never hv passed their test in the 1st place.

Audi Driver driving a Audi Rs4 says
I hate people who judge you for your car and young lads who drive like tossers and think there cool because they have big rims on there novas

Charly driving a Daewoo Lanos says
I have to say, that in my opinion, driving too slowly is as bad as driving too quickly. There is a particular route in Hampshire that goes past Marwell Zoological Park where it is often too dangerous to overtake, and yet there are people that insist on driving 20 or so miles under the speed limit so that they can take in the view! Their driving is erratic and dangerous, but yet I can never get past them safely because my car only has a little engine. Then you do get past them and they make rude gestures as if you're in the wrong. I don't even cut people up when I overtake, as I always make sure that what I'm doing is going to be safe.

ST-ROB driving a Ford transit says
I need to add this hate to my list. Bus drivers who indicate left to pull into a bus stop but before they even come to a halt, they indicate right. Obviously so they can pull out on you any time they feel like it. I thought taxi drivers were assholes but bus drivers really take the biscuit.

ST-ROB driving a Ford transit says
People cutting in between myself and the driver in front of me is my pet hate. As the driver of a transit towing a trailer at least the same length of my van, usually carrying machinery or a heavy implement, other drivers obviously don't realise that when cutting in on a vehicle of this type, they are effectively reducing my stopping distance by half. You do the maths.

Rob driving a Vauxhall astra says
people who tailgate on a single track road in a line of traffic,what do you want me to do exactly? I cant change lanes,i cant go any faster theres a car in front of me!!!Grrrr

Sarah driving a Ford focus says
my biggest pet hate is people who are waiting to pull out of a side road and wait until you are almost on top of them then pull out! Causing you to test your abs then keep looking in their rearview mirror as if to say back off!

Rosie driving a Renault megane scenic says
drivers not indicating at roundabouts

GulfMad driving a Saab 900S says
In the UK, you really have no idea what road rage really means. Try driving in the middle east where it is common practice for vehicles to overtake, undertake, occasionally at the same time, with hilarious results. Cutting across four lanes of traffic when the lights turn green. Put pedal to the metal in order to beat you from the traffic lights, so they can be in front of everybody. Where if someone takes offense at your driving, presence on the road, presence on the planet , they are likely to A: Try to ram you off the road. B: Take out an AK and shoot at you C:Both A & B. Where all vehicles have two speeds, On and Off. Where indicators are more for indicating state of mind, rather than intent. Headlights are optional and more for social use. At night, headlights are only turned on when a vehicle approaches . I could go on, but you get the general idea by now. Really the UK is easy.

Willtip driving a Fiat Punto says
People who sit in middle lane on motorways etc without ever moving into left hand lane except to leave the road. Also the people who get into lanes too early, even before there is a sign because they know the road

SCP driving a Renault says
My pet hate!! I have a real issue with LAZY people who can't park in a car park in the right space. I have no children nor disabilities(spelling wrong sorry)It really makes my blood boil when I see people parking in spaces designed for these people just so they are nearer the door. I did have a go at a women today as she was parked in the mother & child area, not even with a car sit. While a women was driving round with her child looking for a space. I want more people to name and shame these people the women today was in a Jag reg # R1 VLW. As I said I have no kids and it is not as if this is a real problem for me but I see this as so unfair. Also people who do have kids DON'T park there if the kids are not with you!! YOU KNOW YOU ARE this is just as bad and you will be the first to moan when you can't park!!!!!

Colleensims driving a Seat Arosa says
I fu**ing hate bad drivers.. -Tailgaters ( Just overtake me you fu**ing tosser!) -If the idiot that overtakes you, then SLOWS back down to slower than you were actually going! what is the point of overtaking...you fool! -Taxi drivers, they think they own the god damn roads! -People who speed, cant you get it into your stupid head! the rule is there for a reason! -When somebody is half way on the other side of the road. Cant you see the road markings!

Skippy driving a BMW says
\i know you wont all believe me but generally most english drivers are very asute,polite and good drivers. i have lived here for 3 years after leaving rotten australia and the drivers over there are very slow both mentally and physically. There is no road rage here compared to aussie. In aussie i was a devil on the road due to utter dumb fuckwits now i am a saint i have a lot of time for the british drivers.

Auto Fill driving a Ford says
divers who drive to close because they think they are the best drivers in the world and are totally surprised when they hit you up the arse wankers

Bear driving a Mercedes SLL says
People who ignore mini roundabouts by driving over them, they can't do it at a normal roundabout so why break the law at mini roundabouts. They should be used as a full roundabout. People still using mobile phones whilst driving Where are the Police????

Blahblahblah driving a Ford says
Tossers with hi-viz clothing stuffed on the parcel shelf of their cars!!

Matty T driving a Volvo V40 says
Fog Lights in perfect visibility - Blinding!!!

Wiggie driving a Volvo V70 T5 says
Drivers who stay in the middle or outside lane on a motorway and fail to move to the left when there is space!

Digby driving a Unknown vehicle says
40mph drivers God! Yes!Thank you Rob!! I follow these muppets every day, they dawdle at 40 mph down unlit 60 mph roads then they speed up to on entering the lit 30mph zone. Arrgh!! Get your eyes tested or get off the road!! Fog lights- for use in FOG, why drive with side lights and driving lights on? Where are you looking in front? The left hand kerb? Helloo??

Rob driving a Toyota MR2 says
40MPH drivers. They drive at 40 through 50 and 60 limits, then still proceed to drive at 40 at 20 and 30 limits. Of course, they do it because they think 40MPH is "safe". Or they've got the facts about fuel usage completely twisted. Either way, they're annoying!

Superglur driving a White Van Man sprinter says
drivers using the right handlane then go straight on

Best Driver Evar driving a Mitsubishi says
People sitting on their brakes in traffic. People that do not indicate at roundabouts leaving you sitting there like a lemon not aware that you could have if they indicated properly People that close a gap when you try to overtake them and need to pull in. People that constantly use their brakes. 40mph drivers. "Wanker Lights" - the illegal non E approved fake style lexus lights. 90+% of these are not legal, easy bookings for the cops but could they be bothered?

Scotty driving a Vauxhall Vectra says
Drivers in front stopped in traffic or at lights leaving their foot on the brake blinding you with their brake lights. We all have handbrakes.

Wat driving a Seat Alhambra says
I hate WITH A PASSION the prats that can't drive on a motorway, do these brain dead ass holes not know what the left hand lane is for ? It's about time the old bill nicked these tw@ts for driving without due care and attention !! PULL OVER YOU ARSE HOLES

Asterix driving a Volvo V70 D5 says
Middle lane drivers on the motorway

Tawny driving a Ford Focus says
Drivers that sit in the middle lane doing 50mph when inside lane is clear forcing other drivers to undertake. Another pet hate, why don't drivers use their indicators, please let us drivers know what you are doing, sometimes we are stuck at a junction because no one bothers with the indicator. Another pet hate, drivers that sit outside waiting for someone to come to the car and the driver of the car keeps the car lights on, did you know that if you are stationary, you should only have your side lights on.

Virg driving a Vauxhall Omega says
At 5am why stay in the middle lans when no other car is on the road.

Fitzi driving a Fiat Sedici says
Front Fog Lights on in clear conditions. Middle Lane Hoggers

Phil Anderson driving a Suzuki Ignis says
Not using handbrake when stationary, with foot on brake pedal and blinding me with brake lights, also illegal use of fog/spot lights

Pod driving a Renault Clio says
Driving with fog lights on WHEN IT'S NOT FOGGY!!!! It doesn't make you look cool or like a gangster, it makes you look like an idiot who either can't judge weather conditions.

The Thinker driving a Unknown vehicle common sense says
I haven’t come here to scream & shout about other drivers because we all have made mistakes that have angered other drivers. None of us are perfect, and I see most people are missing the main point for the reasons. Firstly everyone should take a good look at the amount of traffic lights, traffic furniture, and road signs, blocked off roads that have been erected in the last 15 years or so. Consequently it means that all the traffic is fed on all the main roads. Common sense would tell any fool that opening up all roads would immediately relieve main roads and the removal of at least 50% of traffic lights. We have all done that trip that we know would take 5 minutes but because of the stupid road planners (jobs worth) blocking off roads makes the trip become 15-20 minutes. I’m sure you’d agree that these are the main reasons why there is so much rage on our streets. Sometimes I think that our country deliberately creates its own problems and chaos to create jobs. I know it’ll never stop but these are the facts!

Mr Grumpypants driving a Honda Civic says
Drivers who habitually sit in the middle lane for mile after mile causing long tailbacks and then decide, at the last second, to take the next exit without indicating their intent. Is the route of your daily commute decided on impulse alone? Do these drivers ever know where they are going and don't they form some sort of plan before they leave? Drivers who insist on pulling into your carefully planned stopping space in front of your vehicle and then brake hard so they can exit a carriageway instead of pulling safely into the mile of empty space behind your vehicle. Questions above apply to these drivers too. Drivers who think it's ok to have two wheels in the next (occupied) lane on a dual carriageway presumably whilst they are busy sending a text message on their mobile phone or keeping eye contact with their passenger during that really important conversation at the wheel.

Mr Grumpypants driving a Honda Civic says
Why is it that so many people driving an expensive car didn't tick the 'hands free'phone option?? Did they run out of money?? Do luxury cars come with functional turn indicators or are they an option as well? Do Smart car, Ford Ka and Mini owners have an aversion to using the left hand lane on dual carriageways? Can their vehicles travel at less than their respective maximum speeds on a motorway? Do London Bus drivers have to pass any driving tests before they are given several tonnes of steel and alumunium to hurtle around our crowded streets in? Do HGV drivers understand that you might have to drive at 50mph in lane one after you have fitted your space saver spare wheel and that sitting 2 feet from your bootlid won't neccessarily help their situation? Are all motorcyclists aware of what 'degloving' injuries are? Google that one on an empty stomach and then have a think about how sensible it is to weave in and out of heavy traffic at motorway speeds. No, skin and muscle doesn't grow back over bare bone, sorry.

AdvanceDriver driving a Honda Prelude says
When it's dark and you let someone out etc... and they flash their lights to say 'thank you', appreciate the jesture, just not the blindness. Next time someone opens a door for me, I might split in their eye! To counter this, I suggest a 'your welcome' flash to get them back. Though the down side I suppose is two blind drivers heading towards each other!

Jason driving a Audi says
It really makes me laugh when people say they hate White van drivers,so any other colur is ok? That white is the problem? so it must be all van drivers? to those that have this short sighted view,have you ever thought what these people are doing? they are the people who deliver,build,maintain and supply without whom we would all be jumping up and down complaining because we have nothing at our door. I think the reason in somecases the people who drive these vans are given a bad name is becuase they spend so much time on the roads and have to work long hours and in some cases deliver to dead lines, I think if we were all honest who has never driven a van at some point? I am a md of a company and do drive a van sometimes to get things done,its a small company.. i also drive an Audi. so which am i? all i know is that understanding and being polite on the roads is the best thing.

Carlo driving a Aston Martin DB9 says
White van man drivers! Enough said!!

Nobbyall IAM. driving a White Van Man Ford Connect says
I hate drivers who join a motorway and expect the vehicles on the motorway to adjust to THEIR speed!! Probably the same driver who think nothing about undertaking when traveling at speed on a motorway especially when they are approaching the exit they are leaving the motorway at!!!!

Johnny driving a Alfa Romeo 156 says
CHAVBASHER!!! There are 2 lanes for a reason you complete and utter braindead idiot!!! They are there so that people can use both to keep the length of queue shorter and people can merge in 1 at a time! that's what "Merge In Turn Means" - in turn - one at a time! What does it take to get this across to the thickos like Chavbasher????

Valentino driving a Mercedes S Class says
Truck that do not stop at ring roads, trucks that pull out in front of you, trucks that travel side by side, truck driver that bully other driver they are a danger need better training

Uksteve1960 driving a BMW 318 says
bloody eastern european hgv drivers ,one flick of the inicator and there out in front of you ,and trying too overtake a vehicle doing exactly the same speed and causing tailbacks for miles.

Jab driving a Volkswagen Corrado Vr6 says
People who ingore the regulations of the road to save a couple of minutes on journey time, the rules are for others not them attitude..no consideration for others.. Driving with front fogs on to look cool??

Tiger driving a Volkswagen Golf says
I hate all VW golf drivers, they have to overtake you, if your doing 70mph they have to do 80mph. if your on a roundabout they have to pull onto the roundabout in front of you,it seems the just can't wait

Victor Meldrew 67 driving a Saab 93 says
Litter bugs! HOW can somebody so mindless as to throw their rubish out of the window of their car? Recently I was following a car through an undesirable part of London when the car in front suddenly stopped in front of me, the back passenger door opened and the passenger placed a McDonalds bag FULL of rubbish on the road next to the car. The driver then drove off! Of course if one says anything, one is likely to be knifed for the pleasure - what has gone so badly wrong with society that people care so little about their surroundings?

Nitroboy driving a White Van Man Iveco says
Not using indicators Women drivers turning round to talk to their children whilst driving. Middle/outside lane HOGS Drivers reading notes on their laps/maps/newspapers whilst driving Animated conversations/hand waving - everything but concentrating on the road. Dithering/nrevouse drivers - don't drive , take a bus/train or walk if you don't like driving, you're a real danger. Why are ALL Volvo drivers so stupid, doesn't matter what age, is it mandatory to have ones brain removed before driving these cars?? Caravans, 11 1/2mos rotting in the front garden then two weeks of mayhem, overloaded, not used to driving long vehicles, either ridiculously slow or too fast, no middle ground, invariably towed by a Volvo, enough said, why do they delight in driving so badly. Entering a motorway as 25mph is not clever or safe it is bloody dangerous, try guaging the speed of traffic on motorway for a change and accelerating to blend with the traffic.. it really isn't difficult. Driving is a skill and should be enjoyed - there are far to many people driving who just shouldn't have been given a licence - selfish/thoughtless brain dead cretins who likely as not cause accidents and sail off into the distance leaving the misery and debris behind them. Make the test harder - how can it be possible to pass a test having never driven on a motorway or at night, in the rain, ice/snow/fog - all these conditions require concentration and skill. The car is not supposed to be a weapon. I drive 80.000 miles a year in the UK and Europe , UK drivers are the worst and now it seems to be the newly qualified female driver upt about 40 years of age that is the new aggressive very unlady like ladette. A pretty vile combination.

Sian driving a Volvo XC90 says
People who hate 4x4's We are not all bad people

Christine driving a Volkswagen Polo says
I have just been intimidated by a 4x4 - I am so sick of the drivers of these cars treating others badly. They think they are wonderful.

Me driving a Peugeot 206 says
Sorry - but not a pet hate. Could the webmaster have Morayshire added to the list of counties, it seems to have slipped through the net.

Jasper driving a Seat Wooden says
Employees who park their company vehicle outside your house instead of their own. Especially transit vans for the entire weekend

Tricky driving a Volkswagen golf says
The muppets who hog the middle lane of motorways forcing us all to break the law and undertake. They often don't even get the message and still continue. Completely on another planet. My ideal job would be to fine the lot of them. No more so than the intimidating fools who drive 6 feet from your rear bumper and still can't read the 'baby on board' sign!

Buffybot driving a Unknown vehicle says
Why do traffic lights stay on green until I am about a 3 feet away from the white line and then quickly change to red without stopping to consider amber? Is there a little man controlling them who hates me? If I have a car in front of me at the lights he/she is always guaranteed to take their time pulling off and driving so slowly so that the lights change to amber by the time I get to them.

Corsalady driving a Unknown vehicle says
People carriers and women with children are another pet hate of mine. Just because you pro-created and now have a 'baby/child on board' sticker in the back of your car does not mean the rest of the cars on the road have disappeared. You still have to look in your mirrors, indicate where you are going, look BEFORE you manouevre and no you can't park in the middle of the road cos your too lazy to park in a space and WALK!

Corsalady driving a BMW says
Oh where do I start? I'm a female driver with almost 13 years of driving under my belt. Not a day goes by without someone trying to kill me on my way to work or on my way home. BMW's are the worst, they drive up your backside when behind you, and drive at 2 mph when in front of you, usally weaving all over the road. And they try to take the side of your car off at every other opporunity.

Jools driving a Vauxhall Astra says
Assholes who drive with a mobile phone stuck in their ear!!!

Fitness Freak driving a Fiat Punto says
When people moan about the 2 joining lanes, there are there for a reason to keep the traffic flowing all the way down both the lanes, not for jumped up pratts with nothing better to do than be bitter and block the lane. Worst is when people pull out without indicating just as your about to overtake them.

Omegaman driving a Kia Sorento says
Cars with sound systems so loud that the driver cannot possibly be aware of what is going on outside the vehicle eg emergency sirens etc, particularly irritating in stationary traffic

Sarah driving a Ford focus says
Middle lane drivers on motorways

Youreall Bytchez driving a Bugatti 16/4, Veyron says
You slow gits. You all suck

Wal driving a Motorcycle Yamaha FZS 600 says
Drivers who swing out to pass a parked vehicle or similar without looking or checking mirror first. Is a filtering motorcycle in the process of overtaking you? Similar to the "oh I have had enough of this slow moving traffic" driver who decides to swing out right and do a U turn without looking for that filtering motorcyclist coming up on the outside first.....

Michael C driving a Fiat Brava says
Pet hate number 1 : TAILGATING!!!! Or to describe it more accurately, BULLYING with motor vehicles. People who tailgate are bullies who think they own the road and have the right to force everyone out of there way - even if the other person is obeying the speed limit. I can imagine many tailgaters are bullies in their everyday lives, but also that a large percentage wouldn't dare act the way they do outside of their cars. Because if they did, they probably know that they'd end up in quite a few punch ups.

A Driver driving a Ford Mondeo says
People that when two lanes merge into one, can't see the signs that say USE BOTH LANES and MERGE IN TURN. i.e. don't make a huge long queue in a single lane, and don't deliberately block people when they do merge!

StephenJB driving a Mercedes B150 says
Sorry, this isn't about other drivers, per se. I just want the maintainers of this website to include Lothian as a County because Edinburgh is not in East, West or Mid Lothian.

Mums Cross Again driving a Vauxhall Meriva says
Tailgateing no seatbelt on children without carseats and seatbelts dogs hanging out of windows people on phones speeding overtaking on single carriageways going over 60 on single track roads

I Am Maverick driving a Ford Connect says
- Late indicating... or none at all!! - Poor road awareness and judgment. - Using a mobile. - Sudden pulling over with no warnings. - Crawling due to not knowing where they are instead of pulling over. - Right lane drivers, when the left is empty, i.e at traffic lights just to get one vehicle in front! - Driving the speed limit but then braking at speed cameras! - Scared drivers - Stupid sounding scooters ridden by tracksuit cladded morons - Chavs - Black BMWs

Sunglasses driving a Seat Leon says
Xenon lights, cant see a bloody thing, whats the point in them!! Often have boy racers with these fecking things on!They should be banned!!

London Gal driving a Mercedes SLK says
When you are kind enough to pull in to let other drivers through, or let them out of side roads, and they dont even say thanks!! That really pisses me off!!!

Mark driving a Suzuki SV 650 says
As a motorcyclist, i find it ever more disgracefull with each day that passes, when i cant even travel a few miles on my motorcycle without at least two cars cutting me up. On one occassion, i was wearing a high visibility jacket & trousers, turning right on a round-a-bout when a moron in a clapped out old volvo shot straight through the give way junction and nearly side swipped me. Just what are these people thinking when they turn on the ignition? "sorry mate, i didnt see you" seems to be the first thing that comes out of their tiny minds. I think that a car test should be made law every 5 years, and if you fail, you lose the right to drive until you pass. Dont get me wrong, im not a perfect driver, but i know that i have to check blind spots and mirrors before i change lanes. NOT ROCKET SCIENCE IS IT !!!

Rosha driving a Skoda Fabia says
cars sitting in yellow box junctions without their exit being clear especially on a friday when it is busy abd ending up causing traffic jams...

Chavbasher driving a Toyota Corolla says
When two lanes merge into one, or one is closed, there is always a queue that can be seen from miles away. Cars start lining up in one lane. There is always someone who speeds past the queue as far as possible before trying to push in near the top. I always straddle both lanes. this means it isn't as easy to get past, and (in theory) other drivers in the queue figure it out and help set up a moving roadblock.

Busta Gutt driving a Renault People bus thing says
Simple pet hate:- NISSAN MICRA DRIVERS!! why oh why do they go so slow. Next time there's a slow queue, look who's at the front.

Ash driving a Ford Focus RS says
Jumped up pricks who can afford a car worth £40,000+, but cann't splash out £20 on a hands free headset, wankers.....you know who you are.

Bear driving a Mercedes SLK says
Lots of drivers have several pet hates which I consider as follows: 1. Tail gating, a very dangerous pastime 2. Drivers still using mobile phones, another dangerous pastime. 3. Drivers who constantly drive straight over or drive on the wrong side of mini roundabouts. They are to be treated as legally as a normal roundabout.

CoolCalmJ driving a Volkswagen Passat says
Stopping distances, tailgating, mobile phones while driving, having a fag while driving. Most of all speeding - speed does hurt people. Those people you hit with your car are brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, etc of other people. Respect your fellow human.

Diverpaul driving a Audi 80 says
I hate drivers that moan about others and don't know the highway code themselves! Did you know it changes nearly every year? The advanced driving test forces you to know the code, why doesn't everone have to get reguarly tested? Look up the difference between central chevrons (called traffic 'seperation' schemes) with solid white lines and those with broken white lines! If everyone knew the code the roads would be filled with like minded drivers who knew what each other was likely to do, rather than prats who generaly do whatever they want without consideration to others!

TAR MACK driving a Vauxhall CORSA says
RANGE ROVERS. EVER NOTICED HOW THE DRIVERS OF THESE THINGS ARE COMPLETE A@?EWIPES BY TRYING TO BULLY OTHER ROAD USERS? I THOUGHT THAT WITH THE PRICE OF THESE THINGS THAT THEY WOULD HAVE PUT A SPEEDO IN THEM.

PLOD driving a Vauxhall Meriva says
When you sound your horn as a warning. You can guarantee that some donkey driving the car you're beeping at will start getting all bolshy by giving you fingers,thumbs and hand signals.It's a pity these muppets can't spend more time concentrating on their driving.I wonder what would happen if I had POLICE signs on my car?

Mere driving a Mitsubishi Diamante says
people that dont indicate!!! grrr

C driving a Vauxhall corsa says
Lorry drivers pulling into the middle lane on the motorway and giving no warning causing me to have to either brake or pull into the next lane. This happens several times every time I drive on the motorway. Also when i am at the front of a queue on the motorway waiting for a space in the next lane so i can overtake and when the space finally arrives the cars behind me always take the space before it gets to me.

CVC driving a Ford Transit says
When I leave a safe breaking distance between me and the car in front on the motorway and other drivers use that to undertake, arseholes.

RB driving a Mini Cooper says
14 year olds, riding 1-tonne horses with Kitten-sized brains, side-by side-down country lanes with absolutely no road awareness. Moreover, the overriding lack of common courtesy, which just happens to show itself where more than, say, 10 cars are competing for space. Motorways are a case in point. Is it me and my impending middle age, or is our general lack of respect for other people getting worse?

Rich driving a Peugeot 106 Key West says
I can't stand it when fast car drivers, whether they be Subarus, BMW's, Mercedes and other expensive fuel consuming CO2 emissioning untaxable and uninsurable cars, decide it is a good idea to overtake me doing 40 in a 40 area with no-overtaking double chevrons just so that it can get in front of me and beat the lorry to immediately before a main roundabout out of the city. It accelerates, overtakes me then decides it cannot make it in front of the lorry before the roundabout, fully brakes which then forces me to slam on the fkin anchors even though I anticipated this was going to happen. Why? What was the purpose in doing that? Why did he have to beat me to the roundabout? I don't understand. He did'nt get there any quicker. If it wasn't for him I would have fkin been there before he was!!!

Baggie29 driving a White Van Man Mercedes Sprinter says
The worst habit drivers have is tailgating others for no reason. Whilst driving on dual carriageways is the most common time for this. I am driving along at 70-80, leaving a reasonable gap to the vehicle in front -leaving ENOUGH SPACE TO ALLOW ME TIME TO REACT - when some f**ing moron comes right up behind me to within about 12ft. If you do this can i ask why? Do you have a grub in your thick head? I am a white van man - i do 50000 miles a year and have never caused an accident - BECAUSE I DON'T TAILGATE!!!

Benson driving a Renault says
Boy racers through villages when you wan't to sleep and need to get up for work next morning, and end up in a rage yourself instead - especially when they have noisy exhausts!

DiDi driving a Peugeot 106 says
The faulty cars, full stop!! I was doing 70mph and couldn't see past the car in front of me, of which tail lights were totally broken. I nearly run into it when it slowed down to 50 mph without any brake lights coming on. You never really would think that the car in front of you is STOPPING when there in no indication shown in light. (And there are SO many!)

SickOfSchoolRuns driving a Land Rover Freelander says
SCHOOL-RUN PARENTS On school holiday mornings there are usually only about 5 cars queuing to get out of a particular junction I use on a busy main road. On school days there is usually a queue of over 1 mile of standing traffic. Talk about emissions and global warming... I think we need to get these stupid people off the roads. What is it with these parents who NEED to take their little darlings to school in the car - let the little b*st*rds get the bus... some of us are trying to get to work! The stupid parent probably then goes home, in their 4 x 4 and watches day time TV... until they do the same idiotic school run late afternoon... aaaarrrrgh! See this sad report on the BBC News website.

Andy Evans driving a Vauxhall Combo says
people who use mobile phones while driving. AR**HOLES. GET A BLOODY HANDS FREE KIT. they're bloody cheap enough

Isleofskye driving a Renault Modus says
Holiday makers that don't appear to know they have mirrors on their car, as they amble along on single track roads, admiring the views. Even when they spot you - usually after subtle flash of headlights, intermittent use of right indicator, polite toots of the horn, followed eventually, four miles on, by fullroad raged blast on horn - they don't let you past. These normally lovely people don't realise that 'Use passing places for overtaking', means cars behind them. Grrr - blood pressure going up just thinking about it as the high season approaches.

KS driving a Kia Sedona says
Firstly being a mum driver, the thing that gets my back up mostly is drivers with no kids or baby seats parking in the supermarket Mom and Baby car park allocation spaces...this should not be allowed, as for the likes of me parking in a disabled space because I wanted to be close to the supermarket door and didn't want my car door being dented by the drivers next door, I would be clamped, that is the LAW. NO BABY SEATS NO PARK in mom and baby spaces, that should be a LAW too, where they get clamped for not displaying no car seat. Secondly, slow driving old people, clearly they're scared of our roads today when they can't do 60mph in a 60mph zone, instead they trug along at 30mph, its so fustrating and they're dangerous when braking all the time when theres nothing in front for them to brake for...The majority of old people should have their licences revoked and be never allowed to drive after 60 years old.

Graphics driving a Suzuki Grand Vitara says
When I am in a slow moving line of traffic I am careful to leave gaps ahead of me to allow traffic to move in and out of side roads and also busy commercial gateways and, of course, I never stop on a pedestrian crossing. One of my pet hates is looking back in the mirror, once I have got past the side road, etc., to see a solid line of nose to tail vehicles across all the exits. Do these people never look far enough ahead to notice that a simple act of courtesy would not hold them up at all and would in all probability prevent a traffic snarl up. The ultimate annoyance is when the driver of the car behind me can't work out why I am leaving the side roads clear and hoots at me to fill up the gap.

AngryPugDriver driving a Peugeot 106 Independence says
OH MY GOD whats the obsession with Xenon lights. They are unbelievably bright, to the point of dangerous, think it's bad when they are coming towards you...try driving at night with some idiot with Xenons just behind you, it illuminates everything, mucks up your peripheral vision AND stops you seeing further ahead.

AngryPugDriver driving a Peugeot 106 Independence says
Cutting people up, changing lanes at the wrong time having jumped a queue, not indicating, not putting lights on when it gets dark. And excessive tailgating and speeding even when you're not going slowly. In a nutshell I hate anything with a BMW or Mercedes badge then...

Bob driving a Ford Mondeo says
All the people who drive with their fog driving lights on as well as their headlights. Especially those in hot hatches, jap imitation rally cars and 4x4s who have changed the bulbs to make them brighter. It is illegal and is used to intimidate other road users. As we have a police force who are on targets why don't they target these morons and stop it. I remember a Police officer a year ago who did and this made national news, and it did stop this practise for a while but it is on the increase again.

Rat_Man driving a Vauxhall Combo says
I HATE Drivers who drive whilst on a mobile phone. They always seem to be drivers of prestige cars too. the law is an ass-it should be an INSTANT BAN if your caught. they spend thousends of pounds buying the bloody car but wont spend a few quid on a bloody hands free kit.

Graphics driving a Suzuki Grand Vitara says
Arrogant and far from skilled young drivers, usually male, who tell me that I shouldn't be driving at the age of 74 because my reactions will be too slow. I tell them that as a ROSPA silver award driver, who has to retake the test regularly to retain the award, I am a proactive driver, not a reactive one. In other words, I read the road situation far enough ahead to avoid accidents. I don't wait for something hazardous to occur before reacting. By the way,I have had one minor accident on the move in 53 years behind the wheel and that was 36 years ago.

Karen A driving a Peugeot Big and Red says
DON'T DRIVE WITH SIDE LIGHTS ON. If visibility is bad enough to require you to use your headlights, PUT THEM ON PROPERLY. Not the "ooh ... should I or shouldn't I" approach and go half way. It's pathetic. Do you wanna be seen or not.

Dollypegs driving a Renault Clio says
Not indicating. We may as well stop building cars with them on. Not only is it downright dangerous in most situations it's just plain ignorant

Man In Black driving a Honda Civic says
In no particular order, drivers who join carriageways from slip roads or laybyes at inappropriate speeds e.g travelling at 80 mph into two lanes of cars moving at 50mph with less than a car length between each vehicle or those that meander off a slip road at 25 mph into the path of a vehicle travelling at 70mph. Drivers who drive at 60mph in the centre lane on empty motorways because that makes it safer to use their mobile phones. Anyone who tailgates, especially in traffic jams. Driving lights, fog lights, these are for driving in severe foggy conditions, not for dazzling other road users or intimidating vehicles in front. Using them in 30 mph urban areas with streetlights is pointless and will annoy other road users. Please turn them off. Oncoming drivers who don't wait until you have passed them before undipping their headlights. Drivers who undertake on dual carriageways and occupy the space you are driving into whilst you are trying to join that carriageway from a sliproad. Drivers who block junctions and don't allow any traffic in or out even if they are going nowhere themselves. The indestructible "Captain Scarletts" who are sooo confident that it is ok to drive at 95 mph in monsoon conditions and a NCAP 5 star rating will save them. Right up until they go under a HGV's wheels and the emergency services scrape them off the carriageway with a shovel.

IMustCalmDown driving a Toyota Previa says
I hate it when people leave big gaps when driving in heavy traffic or traffic jams. If you have the misfortune to be directly behind one of these morons, you have to drive extemely defensively or you will end up hitting them, which of course will then be entirely your fault in the eyes of both the law and the "safe", "careful" driver in front. Most people are reasonable and considerate, and drive with the general flow of the traffic. If you see the queue in front starting to move off, you gauge when it will be your turn, and you get ready to move off promptly, thus ensuring a steady flow of traffic. Ditto when moving and you see the traffic coming to a standstill in front you judge when to brake and leave a decent gap of 4 to 6 feet when stationary between you and the car in front. Of course this reasonable, considerate behaviour is not for Mr or Mrs Selfish. They decide to delay moving off and then, at an entirely random time, eventually move off as slowly as possible. Since I got an automatic car, I now understand how they move so slowly, they just release the brake and the car creeps forwards. I am sure that they consider they are being green and saving petrol, but what this means for the people behind them driving manual cars is they have to constantly juggle the clutch and accelerator to try to match the slow speed, which is impossible and very stressful. You also need to follow them with a foot hovvering over the brake, because it is impossible to predict when they will decide to brake themselves. They tend to stop, unpredictably, anywhere between 15 to 40 feet behind the last staionary car in front. Of course the alternative to getting stessed when behind one of these morons is to behave just like them, and let a big gap open up in front of you. The fact that this feels unnatural, significantly lengthens the traffic queues, pushes traffic back behind junctions and traffic lights etc making progress even slower, and winds everyone else up, is beyond the comprehension of these selfish drivers. It also means that when you do eventually reach the junction ahead, half the opportunity allowed by the lights for cars to proceed is lost due to the massive gaps. A large part of good, safe driving involves reading the traffic around you and having consideration of how your driving affects others. I consider these people I have just described to be BAD drivers. Rant over. I must calm down. Peace.

Didi driving a Peugeot 106 says
People who brake TOO often, people who switch lanes without indicating, people have to take over any car that is cheaper than theirs, even though they will have to go exceedingly fast (way over the speed limit) to do so, people who like to drive head to my tail, any BMW and some Jags (and ALL motorbikes) with blindingly bright headlights, people who think doing emrgency stop under bridges is safe, etc.etc.etc. I write blog on this...

Karma driving a Ford Mondeo says
People who pull into the safety gap that you leave between you and the car in front so you don't pile into their arse end when they have to brake sharply. Why do they think that their time so much more valuable than ours...

Little Lin driving a Motorcycle Suzuki Maurader says
I hate to admit but mostly women drivers. Especially those with kids. Approaching junctions, mostly, the driver never notices me, but I am always aware. They have pulled out in front of me, never acknowledged they forced me to stop, waved a 'thankyou' to the driver of the car from the other direction and continued. I know that I would have been dead if I did not do the checking for them. Must hate bikers I guess.

Mercy driving a Mercedes CLK says
Bus Drivers, I hate bus drivers. They pull out without a thought for other road users.

AJO driving a Ford Escort says
I hate it when your waiting at a junction and someone in the main traffic flow slows down as if they are going to let you out, so you start to set off and then they seemingly speed up again making you slam all on or else end up with them in the side of your car. GRRRR.

Landy Girl driving a Land Rover Discovery says
Middle lane hoggers on the motorway. Particularly those that drive in the middle lane at 60 mph whilst the left hand lane is totally clear. MOVE OVER IDIOTS.
