Only three things that i could say i get angered about.
- Middle lane wankers.
- People who pull out on you and slow your progress with a huge gap behind.
- People that will sit at 50mph regardless of speed limit. This is particularly anoying, theres a stretch on road coming out of York that goes that has the following limits:
40>60>40>60>50>40>50>40>60mph all within the space of 5 miles and the amount of idiots that sit at 50mph all the way through is ridiculous.
The A19 is a joke from York.
Was back there a few months back, what they've done with the speed limits between Escrick, Deighton and Crockey Hill is ridiculous 
York Council haven't a clue what they're doing, there was a massive accident on the A64 near Copmonthorpe this morning and they set the diversions up as well as a 6 year old could have managed. People trying to go to Leeds would come out of Fulford to find they are going back into Fulford

I have to say they do piss me off to various levels, #3 probably the least and will result in me just saying out loud "yeah cheers for that"
#1 results in my shouting "COME ON YOU TWATS" followed by when the lights change "OH YOU FUCKING STUPID WANKERS"
#2 Sees me hit an all out rage, whereby when they pull out I will shout to myself "FUCK SAKE" then when they proceed to edge passed I will be shouting "COME ON FOR FUCK SAKE" then when I have to pull back in the rage will peak with a "OH YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING CUNT"

It aint that bad in the UK. The driving in worse over here.
Constanly sitting in the right hand lane, its so bad its legal to undertake on roads below 90kmph, they all tailgate, dont give way properly, all drive automatics so have no sense of speed, loads more too.

I agree with first two but you try driving a hgv and pulling out onto a fast road . You need people to give you a chance . End of the day you don't own the road , your in a car which you can easily pass them further on . Nothing worse than some cunt in a car racing up to you when your trying to join a road.
The one with the lights I agree , especially as everywhere seems to be getting these red light cameras fitted

I own the right of way though and this particular road its not so easy to pass, especially if you're someway down the line, you know what its like everyone shits themselves as it is about overtaking

By the way my anger isn't directed at the HGV or whatever driver, it is at the person who saddles everyone up behind with the hassle of getting passed when they just turn off and have nothing more to do with it and get the plus moral points for being a nice human being to boot. If they let something out and also have to remain behind it fair enough
End of the day they only do it because they know they are turning off anyway so wont have to deal with it, 100% if they were going to remain on that road they would not let it out.

Out of interest what would you rather they do? Speed up to fool the guy at the junction hes carrying on then do a last minute stamp on the brakes and indicate?
If i was at the junction in my HGV and i saw someone start indicating I'd be out, regardless of the flashing, you cant fanny about waiting for a perfect gap otherwise you could be there all day, so you'd be behind me anyway
Personally, i just dont see how this can be something to get annoyed at and certainly no bad driving has taken place, its just you getting a rage on at being slightly inconvenienced

Number 2's are awful. Always one person behind a lorry who seems quite happy to sit in their slipstream for miles on end, right up until the point you're about to pass them. Then, wham! Said person needs to overtake at that particular moment and speed up by 0.5mph.
Wouldn't mind usually, but it always seems to be on the straight parts where you can see for miles on end behind you.
Being a HGV driver must be infuriating in traffic. Suppose they have to take any chance they get otherwise they'd be sitting there all day.

I find a little tap on the bumper normally sorts out quite a few of these examples.
And ditto the HGV thing. If you want pass it, stop being a fag and do so, or shut up. Or let it out and then pass, as per Mikes example. Or if you you can't judge it well enough, sit behind it. That is your punishment for being a shit driver.
If you're in queue, show your interest. I find pulling out to pass even if there's no room to gets people either angry enough to take the lead or scared enough to give me a go.

I hate the ones that throw lettuce out the window at my car as I drive past.
I just shout at my girlfriend to calm myself down until she apologises though, so it's all good.

Hgv drivers, on the motorways at night on all the 50 zones, most close to 1 lane. Through these I'm doing 50 but every single time a lorry driver sits literally an inch from my back bumper with hundreds of lights directly through the car, only to be left when I speed up a couple of miles later

For me it's the classic....Tailgaters...especially when I'm turning into a junction off a main road, given loads of time for the person to see my indicator and know that I'm turning, YET they carry on riding my boot lid getting angry as I slow down and then having the audacity to beep when I begin to make a turn! Twats.

I'm thankful the nearest 3 lane section of road to me is about 100 miles away. This would seriously wind me up.

Sounds like they're doing 50 and you're not.
