I'll second that, i'm a P plater and i'm always being nice and letting others in and i can't stand the non wavers. Although there was an option you missed, those people that always try to get ahead while merging. You know the ones that won't slow down even if you are in front of them. I HATE THEM!!!!!!!! :evil:

theres no such thing as too polite... :wink:

if everyone in this world gave thankyou waves, there would be no war :P or at least there'd be about 0.89% less road rage :roll:

I'll go for 2 because I can :P

Slow fast laners are my personal pet hate. There's so many over here, its become an epidemic. It's got to the state where you can't drive anywhere on the motorways without being stuck behind some oblivious inconsiderate idiot doing 90kph in the fast lane. And it's not uncommon to be driving along in the middle lane passing a steady stream of slower cars stubbornly clinging to the fast lane :x

A close second is non-indicators!

And I'd add red-light runners as well!

in regards to the fast lane, my opinion is if youre in it and someone is right behind you travelling your speed, youre going too slow... move to the left ...

i dont really care if youre doing the speed limit... youre holding up fast lane traffic.. to me, if people wanna speed, that their perogative... as long as they dont go and kill someone ... :roll:

Hmmmm I would love to pick all of the above, but since I have to pick one then its have to be those idiot that don't indicate, & worst case of these type of idiots are those just suddenly hard brake & then turn into side street, there sh*t load of those in the city lately.

My rules is if you don't indicate I won't give way or let you turn into my lane, don't give a flying fu*k even if that person car is already stuck out or the tires are already turn.

*OK time to relax, do some yoga or tai chi* hehehehhe

I'd have to add tailgating trucks. After being rear ended last year I'm paranoid about it happening again, so when a truck is traveling too close I really start to stress about how long its going to take him to stop in an emergency. Chances are they wont stop in time and...... bye bye world!

Hm, I don't really mind the lane jumpers, cos i'm probably one of them. But I hate people that drive in the right hand lane, and don't move!

And probably, the next hate are arrogant people that try and do everything in theor powers to piss you off. Like brake on purpose... etc...

But i don't really get road rage... so as long as they stay out of the right hand lane when i'm flying past, then i'm cool.

:roll:
