Well a couple for me are when you are following some body and they slow right down(no indicator) and then go really wide to turn into a drive way like they are driving an 18 wheeler or something ,and then i think the king of them all is having someone following about a metre off your rear bumper oooohhhh how that really pi*%$s me off,even when i give my brakes a couple of touches they may back off a bit or imagine themselves as being your personal trailer.

Failure to use indicators properly on a roundabout. I'm mean seriously it's not all that difficult a concept to grasp is it?

Drivers who dont use indicators, they think every other driver is a mind reader, right lane hoggers and the mutha freakers who think they are doing society a favour by holding up traffic by driving slower than the speed limit at anytime regardless of conditions and point their finger at you when you pass them going the speed limit, drivers who cannot for the life of them merge into oncoming traffic, drivers who put the shifter in D for daydream and day dream! drivers who drive around with a big **** sat nav stuck in the middle of their windscreen that drive according to the instructions given by it, so when it says turn left in 500 metres, they cut 3 lanes of traffic to turn left at 10 metres because they were too busy driving around in D for daydream : |

Lol yeah tailgating especially after fresh rain like tonight. I had someone so close I couldn't see there bonnet any more >.<. I tapped my brakes a few times and they backed off. (Not brake checking but enough to illuminate the brake lights and to hopefully give them the hint that I don't appreciate them being so close.)

Fools who enter freeway on ramps 20 kph slower than the traffic they are trying to merge with.
A dopey P plate women nearly had me crushed doing it today, my local on ramp has roadworks and a concrete wall takes the emergency lane space, she was doing 80 with a truck bearing down on us, she put the boot in at the last second but too late for me. Needs some :jab: |

That and people that sit in the right lane - and think they are doing the speed limit or sit under the speed limit - how hard is it too move over. Does keep left not apply to taxis drivers? Or when you are driving in the country sitting behind someone with no overtaking opportunites and they are doing 80 - 90k's then all of a sudden you reach an overtaking lane and they increase there speed to 120 k's

I do not understand since Eastlink has been built, all drivers on the Frankston freeway can barely seem to reach the speed of 80km. |

Urgh, I agree wholeheartedly!! I got boxed in the other night on Frankston Fwy by two cars sitting on just over 60km all the way between Cranbourne Rd and Frankston Dandy Rd exit, WTF people please it's a freeway, if you're not comfortable with the speeds, then don't use it!!

You catch up to someone on the hwy doing 85kph, you go to round them up in the overtaking lane up to 100-105 and next thing they are right next to you.

I have to say I am annoyed by the drivers who I may over take that travel at 80 in a 100. I do the speed limit but to over take I do it as quickly as I can safely, anyway the hate part to this is when you continue on your way and they catch you up. This usually when I am going through 60 or 80 zones doing the limit. So they don't do 100 in the 100, but they do 80 in the 60, and f*$#ing tail gate me. I mean come on some drivers in this country are very average and need a good kicking.

While I am at it, what about the traffic in general using roundabouts. Set up a machine gun in the middle of it and sort them out.

Tailgaters :jab: especially those in 4wd's with big *** bullbars that think its funny to seat a metre off my rear end, dont think their insurance company would be impressed with the repair bill for my phoon if they hit it.

i must be the only guy on here who doesn't get upset by whats happening behind me. if someone wants to sit right up my tail good luck to them. i don't sit in right hand lane either. funnily enough when i see p platers driving in the right lane (80km/h zone or higher) it really annoys me as these people should have the road rules nice and fresh in their head. |
