Going to add this one again, drivers who sit in the right hand lane at traffic lights abd only indicate right as the lights change, meaning you're now stuck behind them, ******s.

This seems to be a thing lately, people only indicating as they actually turn. So annoying!Quote:

Drivers who ignore an invitation to join the motorway when you politely leave a space for them, in favour of going to the end of the slip road to get a ‘better’ space. When they don’t get one and have to stop, I don’t give them a second chance and I take pleasure in smiling at them when I pass.
If everyone waited until they reached the end of a slip road before merging in heavy traffic, then traffic would flow better.Quote:

When your kind enough to give someone a lift and they slam your car door as they leave!!! Make me mutter and swear and mark them down and as a 'never again'!!
When people pull out from a side road in front of you causing you to brake and think a wave in the rear view mirror or a flash of the hazard lights makes it okay. 😡
What do you want them to do (apart from don't do it :greengrin), everyone makes mistakes and misjudges the flow from time to time. Although as I type I know what you mean :thumbsup:Quote:

Inveralmond roundabout again!! Peugeot 208 in outside lane trying to squeeze into middle lane at the last minute to exit roundabout! I've got a lovely black mark right along my rear offside door from the erseholes wing mirror!!!
When there's a queue at a junction in the lane to turn right and some dickhead drives to the front of the straight ahead lane then indicates and waits to turn right ensuring that all traffic comes to a halt until someone is sap enough to let them in.
Yep, that is annoying, I agree.Quote:

Yep, you have common sense.Quote:

Are some bus lanes active all of the time? Maybe they just don't want to get caught out by using one that ends up being still in use. :dunno:Quote:

Herd mentality too when everyone else is doing it.
There are always blue signs that state the hours that the bus lanes are in operation. Though I do admit that it is not always practical, nor even safe, to be going around reading the wording on signs whilst driving.Quote:

Bus lanes from 7am until 7pm, 7 days a week. In my opinion, that's overkill but (generally) rules/laws are put in place to cater for the hard of understanding in our society 🤔Quote:

Commercial Street in Leith towards the Ocean Terminal junction is really bad for this. Cars, vans, lorries try to cut in at the end of the bus lane and give you abuse forQuote:

Idiots who block car parks because they're waiting on a space. Especially the one today who blocked the entrance despite not being able to see if there were spaces. She only moved after I put o my best authoritarian voice and told her that only the police can block roads: SO MOVE. From her look I think she thought I was police.🤣
Drivers who don’t indicate coming off roundabouts. There’s a couple of small-ish roundabouts near me that most cars come off at the same point. However you can’t assume that’s where they will come off so have to wait on them actually turning before you can join the roundabout.
People that break down but don't bother to put their hazards on. Especially when, ironically enough, it is a recovery vehicle that has broken down.
Drivers who have no idea how to use the yellow box at a junction. They just drive right into the box even though it’s clear that the exit route is full. Anyone waiting to turn right at the junction is snookered.
Drivers who moan about other people's driving then moan when they receive a fixed penalty for driving infringements.
Also the same people who block a junction so you the can't get out to go right, or can't turn right into that street.Quote:
