I hate pricks who get in the wrong lane on purpose to jump the queue.

It's OK when I do it though

Similar to Dreamer but from the other aspect

Cars that are in lane 2 when lane 3 is empty for miles behind them and I wish to pull out to overtake another lorry that I am fast approaching

I always check to see if they have a trailer/caravan etc before pulling out on them But if lane 3 is free and they are allowed to use it, over I go!!


EDIT: When I am in the lorry
- when i am in the inside lane and i need to pull out, i plan it well in advance but middle lane warriors often just sit there oblivious barely going any quicker than me and taking miles to pass me

It amazes me how many people now drive on the motorway at 45-50mph, even in the trailer doing legal speeds (max 60) I catch them pretty quickly, and then struggle to get past them as they sit int he middle lane GRRRR

THe big motorways now with lots of lanes, they just sit in lane 3 (of 4) leaving 2 empty lanes to their inside - what on earth is wrong with them!!

Not so much a driving trait, but does there seem to be a disproportionately large number of people with knackered headlamps these days? One light on full beam and one dipped, for example.
Or one headlight working so they use the front fogs.

middle and ouside lane hoggers who sit at 70 mph and people who leave their fog light on when it isnt foggy. People just dont seem to know how to read the road and anticipate changes.

Also i know it probably doesnt bother most people on here but its people who jump temporary lights at road works. They seem to think its okay to follow other cars through on red, even though they wouldnt do it at normal lights. We have had a lot of accidents on our sites and people hurt, all due to people doing this all because theyve had to wait a few minutes longer on their journey.
