    People who overtake you when you’re indicating to turn right.
    Happened twice to me this week – once on the bike and once in the car. Arses.

    Who would you assign a place to?

    Yes. 100x yes.

    It happened last week, and she was stupid enough when I didn’t yield for her to give me a huge blare on the horn.

    She then drove up to the back of a queue of traffic 30 yards further up the road, which gave me the chance to spin round in the road and ride back to question her choices. Very politely, of course. Her response was that as I was in danger of being squashed then I should take more care to stay out of her way. When I queried whether she’d seen the recent highway code changes she would up her window and refused to answer.

    At the old house where parking involved either a U-turn just past a traffic island or similar at the other end around a mini-roundabout, it was likely every other day for several years.

    That and reverse parking. Indicate left, shimmy left through the parking spot as I pass, stop and slam it into reverse as fast as humanely possible, and some country and western will still drive right up my chuff and then start waving their hands about rather than just reverse two metres and wait five seconds for me to get out of their way.

    People who overtake you when you have stopped to let a car advance towards you when there is only room for one car.
    You then have to watch a complete prick reverse back to where you have stopped.

    People who send you looooooong tedious whatsapp or messenger messages – because they don’t like typing. But they are more than happy with you finding somewhere where you can listen to a message rather than quickly reading it and then, without seemingly having worked out what they were going to say before they started, ramble on for 5 minutes (across multiple messages) which you are meant to find the time to listen to.

    If you want to actually talk…..ring me up…..muppets.

    I’ve had an on coming car overtake me up the inside when turning right, they “had to” get past the other cyclist coming towards me. The junction was on a corner too so she could see if there was other traffic either.

    Sticking to the overtake theme…

    People who overtake you when you’re turning left with no thought for what they might not have seen emerging from the junction you’re turning into. Almost always at speed limit +50% and often without checking what’s coming the other way.

    People who overtake you at double the speed limit by crossing double white lines through a cross roads at a known accident spot in a 30mph limit.

    Yes **** in a silver Caddy earlier this week I’m thinking of you….

    Wasn’t super impressed by the 90mph overtake by the little Seat 10 minutes later when I was doing a solid 60 in an NSL but illegality aside it was least executed on an arrow straight bit of road with limited other hazards and indicators.

    To be honest though these people don’t need a special place in hell they need effective roads policing and some attitude adjustment with a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick. I may of course be condemned to hell myself and out of pure self interest I’d rather not share my afterlife with these twits.

    People who constantly sniff a runny nose on public transport.

    I once sat beside a guy, Glasgow to Edinburgh train, who sniffed approximately every 15 seconds for the 48 minute journey. I could have murdered the ****.

    And yes, I did offer him a disposable hankie, but he declined.

    Thank the lord I discovered my phone could download music and had a headphone jack.

    Round here they just keep going and it’s usually the oncoming car that needs to reverse unless there’s a handy pavement to drive along.

    People who have no idea how slip roads work.

    You don’t slow down half a mile before the cut off, or gently accelerate and try and merge into 70mph traffic doing 40mph, any speed decrease/increase should be done on the slip road.

    The amount of near misses I’ve witnessed due to these drivers beggars belief. Not as annoying as middle lane hoggers, but way more dangerous.

    The follow through ers.
    There is a TNT lorry on your side of tge road.
    There is enough gap to let maybe 1 or 2 through before i arrive at said TNT lorry.
    But no. The car in in position 3 and 4 and occasionaly 5th in the queue all blindly follow.
    They can’t see if there is any oncoming traffic. It must be clear as the car in front has gone. Hes thinking the same thing. Dullard.
    I jusr drive at them now.
    Only cross the central line if you are absolutely certain that the car on the correct side of the road has seen you and is willing and able to either stop or move into the gutter to give you enough room to safely complete the move. Whether the car on tge correct side of the road should stop debatable. I say no, but on occasions its worth it for traffic flow. Broken down horse box with some pretty blonde thing blocking g the road. 2 cars my side, 100 the other. I would stop and let a tranche through.

    People who can’t keep to a consistent speed on a dual carriageway or Motorway, particularly those whose cars MUST have cruise control fitted.

    Either fast downhill and then slow back up or those that instantly speed up as you pass by as they’ve noticed they’re now doing 58mph. 😤

    Drivers overtaking you on a 90 degree bend – you get special loud voice abuse. Unless you’ve got a high performance car, there is no way you an go round that corner as qick as I can on a road bike – I’ve yet to see a motorbike keep up in 35 years of riding round these bends.

    Yes, but you can almost guarantee that the ****-knuckle behind you would get annoyed and then overtake you into the traffic you are letting through.

    Given that I doubt most of these people will end up in hell it seems like the ideal place to get away from them all.

    I imagine hell would run out of special places once you cram in anyone involved in with Cameron announcing that non-binding referendum and what has happened since in the UK. 😉

    Cruise control is a pain if it’s busy unless everyone’s using it. On a busy m/way you’re forever fiddling about with the buttons to adjust your speed & braking anyway. Just need learn to keep their foot in the same place on the go pedal & watch the speedo.

    There’s a place in hell especially for politicians. It’s packed with them from all parties.

    People who cut you up on a roundabout because they chose both lanes. I’ll happily straight-line them all day, but if not there’s some bugger else already in the other lane.

    Drivers at traffic lights when light turns green, stop chatting to their passenger, take ages to engage gear, release handbrake and pull away slowly and us behind either have to wait another 5 mins or jump the red light. Usually retired folk possibly some from here as there seems to be a good few early retirees on cracking pensions. Only jokin don’t take offence
