Things that wind you up

Cars that drive along at below 50, and then decide to drive at 55 the moment you attempt to overtake them…

Rigid Tippers driving on the road with their beacons going…your not the ■■■■ emergency services turn them off!!!,this also applies to BT vans,RAC vans (when not towing anything)

If said van (BT or RAC etc) is on a shout then I think its fine to leave the becons on.

If parked up yes,if on a “shout” then they ain’t the emergency services they shouldn’t be on they are purely for if they are causing a hazard or parked up not whine driving unless they are towing a vehicle.

People who constantly feel the need to use high beam on a dual carriageway and motorway that’s lit up like ■■■■ Blackpool.
If you really DO need the lot on in these circumstances, you shouldn’t be driving!

People who use rear fogs when its raining.
People who use front fogs all the time.

People in general. :imp:

Or the ones that are on a road right next to a DC or a motorway that feel the need to use high beams!

Car drivers who overtake you on the motorway at 57mph then immediately slow to 55mph :smiling_imp:

internet isn’t big enough to put on everything that annoys me.

I’ve worked mostly lates and nights for a quarter century - and "the day driver shooting off home on a job & knock leaving the taking over driver to ‘finish up’ - covers a multitude of sins:

(1) Not strapping a pre-loaded trailer (as in OP’s case above)

(2) Tractor or trailer has minor faults that COULD have been fixed on day driver’s return to yard - but no.

(3) Trailer or tractor for me taking over left boxed in behind a tramper’s parked-up combination ready for monday - and he’s buggered off home with his keys 'cos it’s “his” truck. Phone switched off when yard phones him, and he has no landline.

(4) Tractor is late back for me to take it over. It’s got no derv in it, stinks of fast food wrappers, and there’s a curt note “Do not use the bunk” - which has nothing more on it than a chill box and a pair of slippers. WTF is he leaving anything in the cab at all for?

(5) Bluetooth/Satnav belonged to the previous driver rather than the yard - fair enough. First thing the yard expects of me though is to “have brought in my own” when I’m only on agency there for the day… Yeh right!

(6) It’s friday night, I’ve got 12.5 hours left that week (12 hour shift per night), have turned up an hour ago to start my night run - and bugger me - day driver has not got back with the tractor yet! This one I’ll put down to the yard having insufficient kit rather than any fault of the previous day driver though.

If it’s a 4x4, they’ll happily cruise along at 55mph, perhaps for “optimum fuel efficiency” (I’d just buy a non-guzzler car!) … You slowly catch up behind them, and they’ll slow down to 45 to suggest “overtake me now fella”…

You pull out around them, get level, and the bugger accelerates back to 55mph and starts an elephant race… Just as you get in front of them a mile down the road later, the bugger then accerlates back up the inside so you can’t pull in, and then slows down to 55mph again just as he gets level with your cab.

FFS I’ll throw my hands up, slow down to 40mph at this point, and open my window to let the steam out.

I hate 4x4 drivers me… :imp: :imp: :imp: :imp: :imp:

and the people who put fog lights on at night because “they cant see 100M”… ITS ■■■■■■■ NIGHT NO ONE CAN

Trucknet drivers who call themselves professional and spell with two f’s

Rubbish fried food at Msa`s for drivers that pay to park overnight with a meal voucher, the girl behind the counter says " For your ten pound voucher, you can have fish fingers with chips or sausages and chips or fried chicken strips with chips ".
Do i look like i am a five year boy, i have worked a long day and expect something better than kids food for adults.
Msa loos that stink of a badgers armpit, and you need to wear a clothes peg on your nose to use their filthy loos that are never cleaned.
Lorry drivers that start their engine and give you that hurry up stare, and you are not ready to leave a delivery or reload place, they can see you are not ready to go yet, but being impatient and rude, in their way, they think you will hurry up and go.
Car and van drivers that toot their horn for a minor mistake, or for no reason just to annoy you.
Delivery and reload depots that as if by magic can tip you in ten minutes, just because it is going home time, but if you show up in normal hours, they will make you wait for hours and take numerous ■■■ and coffee breaks.
Ridiculous health and safety rules and regulations that are different to each place you go to, by the time you have signed the forms to accept their terms and conditions and read their rule book, you could have took a tacho break.
Scruffy and dirty looking drivers that are allergic to water or a shower and a bath, they wear worn out boots with laces missing, a dirty hi viz, and soiled clothing that lets us all down in the public perception of a driver.
Tv and magazine adverts that are selling walk in baths for elderly people, the model in the adverts is always a good looking blonde lady in her late fifties who was a model in her younger days.
P plates on cars for people that like tell the world they have passed their car driving test, so what, do you want a medal.
Old and dirty trailers that are rust buckets and falling to pieces, with a new and smart looking tractor unit attached to it, half the buckles will be missing and flapping in the wind on the trailer that should be in Steptoes junk yard.
Buses that pull in to bus stop with their ■■■ end sticking out at an angle blocking the road.
Coach drivers that never wear seat belts or wear a waistcoat driving a coach, why is that ?

The tramper that abandoned his unit for the weekend yesterday, leaving it where we park the trailers.
Meaning he’d managed to take up the space for 2 trailers and left nowhere for people who got back after him.
The selfish ignorant git!!! :imp:

Drop a couple of trailers in his way for Monday morning, that’ll ‘Learn’ Him. [emoji6]

I would have thought that they would be a good idea when you are ‘Whine Driving’
Let’s every one else know that you’ve had a few ! [emoji483][emoji483][emoji482][emoji483]

BMW & AUDI Indicators !

I know they don’t exist, but they still Wind me Up.

Idiots that don’t realise that when 2 lanes merge into 1 then there is no particular right of way, they should just merge one on one, and especially the complete ■■■■■■■■ that block both lanes so no-one can get past them thus causing unnecessary tailbacks behind them.

seems like theres a lot of heart attacks due :unamused:

Mainly truck drivers…

I did consider that, and could have blocked him in with just the one I needed to drop.
But I suspect it would have been used/moved by Monday morning when he’s back in…

Instead I dropped it in front of the sign saying “Keep Clear” :laughing:
But it only says that because of the trailers that are normally dropped where the git abandoned his unit…
