    Muppets 3 - worst habits

    1/ Not indicating, inconsiderate to other drivers, but potentially fatal for pedestrians ,cyclists and motorcyclists. How the feck are we supposed to know where you are going?

    2/Middle lane hoggers

    3/ Tailgatters, i.e. the people who contribute to needless traffic jams by driving too close to the car in front and hence hitting their brakes every 20 seconds. Just think about fluid dynamics and then realise the havoc you are partly causing

    4/ People who use their car as a weapon, i.e those who do not realise pedestrians have right of way if crossing a road

    5/ People who use their hazzard lights for poor parking but not when there is a genuine hazzard i.e. warning other motorists the traffic has stopped on a motorway

    6/People who dip their beam too late, the moment you can see another cars light dip the beam, not when your lights are shining into the other guys cabin. Seems to be getting worse this one.

    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

    7/ People who can't park and block the road for 10 minutes as they try to squeeze a Mini into a space big enough for a Hummer.

    8/ People who don't understand roundabouts. FFS, they're not that complicated.

      9/ People who park their vehicle halfway, or more, on the pavement (sidewalk)

      10/ Old men in cloth caps who pootle along at 20 in a 50 zone.

      You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

        11/ drivers who don't know that the dashed line across the whole of a giveway road junction means give way to pedestrians (the double dashed line means give way to pedestrians AND traffic on the main road)
        Coffee's for closers

            People who moan about my driving standards in the form of sign language, then get road rage, yet have a slower car than mine.

              14/ Women - who are clearly not comfortable driving them - in Disco's and massive MPV's carnaging the roads / pavements outside schools.

              15/ People who go around more than half of a roundabout in the left lane.

              16/ People who don't pull up at the pumps unless the nossle is on the same side as the filler cap.

                whats wrong with that?
                I've been caught out before by a short pump hose, couldnt get the nozzle in the hole
                I've also had filthy streaks on the back of the car from dirty hoses.
                never again!

                  I can't think of anything that others do when driving that bothers me.
                  Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                    I wouldn't shout that from the rooftops on a public forum if I were you
