I am a night trunker and every night I see things like:
Car drivers doing 40 in roadworks 50 limit so you got to overtake them but as you do they realise the nasty juggernaut is going passed them so they then speed up leaving you in the outside lane. You come back in then they slow down again argghh
There seems to be a new sport of racing down the fast lane on a 3 lane motorway and then crossing three lanes right in front of you to take the slip road off!
Car drivers who sit alongside of you matching your speed and blocking you in as you approach a d1ckhead doing 45 in the inside lane. I have started to indicate and then drift to the white line. That shifts them
I see you have encountered the dive bombers.Former Japanese Kamikaze pilots maybe.?
Ex second world war tank commanders that peer out an inch wide gap of snow on the windscreen.
Or have enough snow on their roof to compete with Colorado.
Drivers who can’t stay within their lane whilst negotiating roundabouts and cars that think its fun to overtake lorries on the inside of small roundabouts.
Idiotic drivers driving far too slowly on open 60mph roads.
Cars cutting down the 2nd lane and forcing their way in when lane 1 is queued where a dual carriageway morphs into a single one…that really makes my ■■■■ itch
Car doodlers.Pottering along the motorway at 49.9 mph on a fuel saving mission to the garden centre which is 75 miles away.
Silver and black cars that drive in the dark with no lights on or just side lights on.
I used to flash them,but now i do not care.
If they crash,get past the scene before they shut the road for six hours.

Dear me it’s catching tonight.Here we have another so called professional driver that has to overtake because the car in front is doing 10 mph below the speed limit.
In this case the maximum is 50mph.There is no minimum speed limit so tell me why the car has to do 50 or why you have to overtake?
And now after mickey saying there was only one lane on a motorway we have another clown telling us lane 3 is a fast lane!
Oh dear seems like professional drivers do not really understand the basic rules or know much about motorways.
Then he admits to bullying drivers by drifting towards them…no wonder everyone despises us eh.
Oh yes and what really annoys me is drivers that slag others when they do not have much of a clue themselves.

I think in this instance the “got” is a typo. I suspect it should read “go”. I might be wrong, but that’s how I read it. And - no matter what you and your experience say - starting to overtake someone who speeds up half way through is irritating.
Its got to be the suicide squad on sc roads that can’t wait a mile to the next dual or layby or even a straight stretch of road. Had one last week trying to overtake on a blind corner, the guy got half way up the side of me then I seen headlights approaching so I stomped on the brakes only problem was so did he the guy never tried to overtake again all the way up the a1 from Belford to Dunbar
Here’s one some Richard Heads among our own number are getting upto right now, and getting on my ■■■■ in the process…
Picture you’ve just passed a junction on a motorway, and the next Junction is about 4 miles away, and the 1st lane of 4 peels off at that point.
So there’s me, overtaking another artic in lane 1, I’m on 56 limiter, looks like he’s on 50 or 52mph on his.
I get my cab level to the back of his trailer, and f— me, he starts indicating and wants to come into my lane! Both lane 1 and 2 are totally clear about a mile ahead of both of us at this point btw… So wtf is he playing at wanting to get over at this point, let alone the fact he still canna disobey the laws of physics, and occupy a space already occupied by yours truly…
I have to either brake sharply, shift into lane 3 (not always safe to do so) or honk him loudly, the latter option only for when he’s a left ■■■■■■ who might well not have seen me.
This seems to be happening a lot of late, so it it a case of “Fear of being overtaken too slowly with 2+ miles to go to the next junction” or has anyone out there got a better explanation?? It happened to me twice tonight, and I’m starting to think I’m invisible or something.

Tarmac is there to be used.Merge in turn at the cones,not half a mile back.
I choose to use all the road I can get… if that means leaving you in a long queue fuming, i’ll be !

There was some roadworks on the a63 a couple of weeks back and when the signs were up 800yds to go everyone was in a single line for about half a mile , I drove on the left hand lane right near to the merge point and slotted in , the amount of people bibbing horns, coffee beans etc was amusing , one time there was a flatbed rigid driving across both lanes so no1 could get in front of him even then the left hand lane was clear for a good 600 yds.
Two incidents last night! I am turning right at a roundabout to go M1 North. Right indicator right lane and going around the roundabout after the last exit BEFORE mine I indicate left to go into the left lane for MY exit. Two cars overtook me on the inside and one of them was going right not even taking that exit! So I let the idiots get out of the way as I have little choice and when they clear me I pull across only for this TEEEEWAAAT suddenly there on my inside Blaring his horn and calling me a nutter!
Next idiot was in a golf who I thought was going to crash as he had really missed his exit, except he turned left and went from the fast lane straight into the slip rode at right angles to me and 2 cars, we all braked as it was a miracle he made it through the chevron triangle and onto the slip rode! Luckily there was no one on the slip road!
