    People who have their fog lights on all the time. It's the most annoying thing in the world. And it's not like it can be done by accident, you have to purposefully put them on.

    Jesus f-ing Christ, TURN OFF YOUR F.UCKIN FOG LIGHTS !!!!!!!

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    The thing I hate the most is when driving in slow-moving traffic and you are stopped leaving a gap in the traffic due to a yellow box. The traffic starts to move on the other side of the box so you go forward and then the asshole in the lane next to you moves (or swerves) into your lane to take your space on the other side so you're the one left sitting on a yellow box.

    Had someone do this to me recently and almost got stuck sitting on the Luas line :mad:

    I also hate when people pull out in front of you from junctions so you have no choice but to let them in, then they wave and flash their hazards to say thanks. Eh, you pushed your way in, what was I going to do, ram your car?

    Also, taxis - hate that they just stop anywhere and hate that they use the bus lane and when a bus is stopped in it they'll just swerve out into your lane to get there a second faster.

    I've only had to start driving to work recently and I really really hate it. I'm on a contract and next job needs to be on public transport.

    No, I don't get road rage. Many peoples' IQs drop by 40 points as soon as the they get into a car. Like the Internet, soon as you can't see the human in the box you do or say things that would never be acceptable face to face. For instance, I'm an L driver. Cars regularly undertake me even though I'm driving at or slightly above the speed limit. I've had cars undertake 100m before the lights, when they then had to screech to a stop to avoid hitting innocent pedestrians. All because they saw an L plate. Moronic.

    Unless they're driving in the hard shoulder, you're in the wrong lane. If they can undertake, you're in the wrong lane. It doesn't matter what speed you're doing, get out of the way.

    Might not be a dual carriageway (obviously isn't a motorway). Might just be a left turning lane and a going straight lane.

    I also hate people who expect you to take off the INSTANT a light goes from red to green, forgetting the fact that you could be on a hill with the handbrake down and it takes a second or two to pull it down and move off. You sound exactly like one of those impatient people to be honest..it takes more than a second to move off...most people arent at the head of a queue staring intently at the light, twitching with their hand on the handbrake, just waiting to please the motorist a few cars behind them by taking off at lightning speed :rolleyes:

    If you're at the front of the queue keep an eye on the lights. When they go green you move. Don't look all round you, don't play on your phone.

    Don't wait until the light goes green before getting in gear. When the traffic stops in the other direction it's pretty obvious you're going to go green soon, so be ready to go.

    It's not difficult.
