Could I ask what your personal views are on the top pet hates of drivers?
out of the main pet hates (these are most of my top hates) what are your general views on some of the most common pet hates that I’ve listed below, please give a brief description for each one on what you think of them? cheers
1: Drink/Drug Driving
2: People who generally lack skill in driving either driving poorly, taking ages to move, failing to signal, not observing their surroundings, driving too slow or too fast for the road conditions, cutting you up, ones who seem to drive worser even than the average learner driver within their first 5-10 lessons
3: People on their phones at the wheel
4: Boyracers with loud vibrating exhausts, blasting music, overrevving, wheelspinning, handbrake turning in car parks etc
5: Tailgaters
6: Lane Hogging (middle and outer lanes) on motorways and dual carriageways
7: People who drive without any consideration for others like they’re the only people on the roads or the boss of the roads so they ‘think’ they can do what they want, force us to do what they want without a doubt to whether we appreciate it or not
8: Unpolite people, ones who don’t pay attention, are oblivious to their surroundings, don’t thank you if you give way to them, block a box junction so other traffic can’t get pass them when theres no need to
9: People who don’t signal or signal properly (like if they break hard and signal at the last second forcing you to break)
10: General reckless drivers, ones who cut you up, drive erratically, wheelspin away at traffic lights, junctions etc
11: Slow drivers like ones who do less than 30-40 on an open clear road with a 60 limit etc or who sit in the outside lane of a motorway at less than 60 then often if when you do get a safe moment to overtake them by getting a clear road ahead or using a crawler lane and take that opportunity they suddenley accelerate either forcing you to retreat from overtaking or putting you in more danger by keeping you on the wrong side of the road etc for longer as your trying to overtake like they’re forcing you to drive slow nevermind wanting to drive painstakingly slow themselves
12: People with serious "road-rage"
and any other top pet hates you can think of and have a personal view about?
and btw to those who it concerns, I don’t suffer serious road rage although it still amazes me (or use to now should i say) the amount of bad drivers there are out there and I certainly do not have this attitude a lot of you think i have of ‘i think i’m the best driver in the world’ or anything like that, i don’t care if I’m not, I not saying I’m anywhere near the best and certainly not anywhere near the worse and I admit I do have a couple bad habits too and have made mistakes but I learn from them and move on and just of interest happen to wonder other peoples views on them
Of course your still learning whether you’ve just passed your test or been driven for decades and it’s another thing i hate people who think they’re better than everyone else and think they own the place, so please if your not gonna answer my question properly don’t answer at all (its you that are the sad ones, not ppl who put these questions down)
cheers

Drivers who use sites like this to rant about there own problems in the disguise of a question.
You are not going to make a difference with this – give it up and find a better way to use your time and effort.
Wow, they have really got to you haven’t they.
Maybe you should consider not driving until you have calmed down somewhat

OMG so many, and in no particular order:
people who driver to slow
people who driver to fast
people who don’t know what indicators are for
people who follow to close (both from point of view of getting past them in a que and from being followed)
people who sit on the white line
people who look at thesceneryy
people who brake for slight bends
people whoapproachh junctions like there about to drive straight out
people who speed up when your over taking
people who think the road belongs to them
people who indicate to late
people who indicate to soon
on a whole all other road users, they should all be band. even me.

you seriously have a problem.
my pet hate is people like you that have too many pet hates and think they are the best driver in the world.

I think you have given all the answers, but maybe not in the order I would choose.
My top 4 would be
1 Tailgaters
2 Lane Hogging
3 People who don’t signal or signal properly
4 Drivers entering motorways, that expect you to get out of their way.
Some things that you list I have little views on
eg People using phones and other dangerous practise, are for the Police to deal with.

i like your number 12 ‘people with serious roadrage’ i think this is what you are suffering from!
my pet hate is indicators, once deemed a source of communicating with other drivers for safety, now deemed giving away you position to the enemy
