Car drivers dithering at approx 54mph in lane who speed up when you pull out to overtake.
As above coming down sliproad then looking right at the last minute and getting all agitated because I am alongside them.
Oh and car driver using their front foglights when not required.

They instantly get my full beam if I won’t annoy anyone else with them.
ignorant fellow hgv drivers who don’t acknowledge when you flash them in,no manners,had three today on the M4/M5
Flashing in lorries originates back to when the mirrors were small and vibrated.
The ones that don’t flash now are not ignorant, the mirrors don’t shake, and you should know the length of the trailer without relying on somebody else.
There is no legal requirements to flash or thank anyone.
Why do some get their knickers in a twist on light flashing,or not being thanked for it ?

Because some of our fellow drivers think who seem to know the length of their vehicle cut in well too early. In the past week had 3 trucks and 1 bus cut in on me with less than a car length between my front and their back. Ive then had to slow down to regain braking distance.
I’d like to mention a DPD driver I would think (and hope…) is wearing brown trousers and an embarrassed look. Going up a narrow steep hill towards Farnham yesterday. Even narrower road joining from the left at a very sharp angle, as I approach (21 tonner) there was one car waiting to turn right into the road and one just going round the bend, baulked by the van. They clear and matey pulls out and turns right down the hill without checking right in front of me! Anchor up, watch our friend pull round the front of me and on his merry way, then realises just how close he was! I was so amazed I didn’t have the chance to toot him up. 2nd gear restart, it was that steep… and all the traffic behind would have loved it…
Only my tenth day driving, enjoying myself really…
Queue jumping. It’s rude and dangerous. Take Catthorpe. I have to concentrate so much harder to keep bumper to bumper in the queue because there’s no way I’m letting one of the ■■■■■■ in. And everyone else, bar the odd mug/woman driver, is doing exactly the same. You look in your right mirror and you see the ■■■■■■■ coming up slowly waiting to pounce into the smallest of gaps. Eventually they get to the junction and usually shoot in (much to my annoyance) but there’s always a few that end up stopping on the carriageway creating the high chance of a pile up. I know it shouldn’t, but it just winds me up every time. There needs to be cameras put up there and the ■■■■■■ done for dangerous driving.

You get that every time there is a queue for a turn-off. The M25 at Wisley is a favourite one. As the M25 has four lanes there, I always use lane 3 because lane 2 is always going to be full of people slowing down to jump the queue. Perhaps they should use lane 2 for both queueing and going straight on; that way there will be a shorter queue as lane 1 is only full of people going to London and lane 2 for Guildford (and at less busy times, for people going straight on as well). A lot of motorways that used to use both lanes 1 and 2 for turning (as the M23 south of junction 8 still does) now use only lane 1; that makes the queue a lot longer and causes danger for people in lane 2 as well.
