The Angry Motorist Thread

[Jog On]

OK folks – post ‘em up!

What’s your biggest pet hate on the roads – what is it other drivers/cyclists/bikers/pedestrians/lollypop ladies etc do that makes you really angry?

In have 2:

#1 – When people block your lane so you have to wait for them because they’re trying to jump the queue for the lane they should be in.

#2 – People who as well as indicating stick their arm out of the window in a sort of ‘I’m coming through and you’re letting me whether you decide to or not’ kind of gesture as though they have the power of a policeman/woman to command you to stop for them.

GRRRRR!!!!! REALLY ANGRY!!!

Car drivers who peep at me when I have the right of way and then zoom off after I smash a wing mirror or remove an ariel. Or lock their doors. Cowards.

All hail to the mighty Jog.

#1 can happen because you have lost your way - though technically one should go round again I suppose. I have a friend who keeps an A-Z in his car so when he queue jumps he leafes through it to try to get sympathy. Does NOT work with police!

I agree with #1, I find that sitting with a hand on the horn until they finally get out of the way makes me feel better.

A pet hate of mine is people who stop on roundabouts when their exit isn't clear due to a traffic queue, again using the horn can and does improve my mood.
