I know why the cars drive at 55 mph - they think they are actually doing 60 but due their car speedo being so inaccurate its actually reading 60 but they are doing 55-56 - just the wrong speed lol
they get on my ■■■■ big time
people who over take you 100 feet before the round about on a dual carriageway - and pull back infront 30 feet before it even though their lane is free
lorry drivers who see you move over to allow them on the motorway and then sit on the inside lane matching your speed leaving you looking a ■■■ in the middle lane
All drivers whether they be car, bus, lorry divers who can clearly see roadworks ahead then they see the 800yd marker then the 600, then 400 and then 200 and then think they have the right to squeeze past my bumper when there’s 2ft 6" left. That get me sooooooooo mad.
I am the one pushing in lol. I hate it when everybody hits the brakes because the sign says lane closed in half mile. They end up with a que past three exits which half the traffic want to use. 
What makes my blood boil at the moment is not idiot car drivers but lorry drivers that act like idiot car drivers in their lorries. Tailgating, cutting me up and worst of all pulling out of junctions or on roundabouts right in front of me, like a car (which hopefully puts the pedal to the metal and gets out the way) they look you right in the eye and then just pull out, and then act all dumb when you give em a blast of the horn.
When I confronted a driver of a local brick and block company who thought it was ok to pull out right in front of me on a roundabout, fully loaded with bricks so as he crawled out I had to brake and swerve round him to avoid a collision, had the nerve to just sit there with that look of innocence on his face, totally oblivious, really wanted to tear him a new one, seems like the only way these people will learn is if they get a good beating

when drive fills up at the pump and goes to pay orders a coffe insted of pulling forward so i can start to fil up. i allways fill up pull forward of the pumps then go and pay.
someone moved for me, so i pulled on gave the fuel card in filled up then my card wouldnt work, the prick behind the counter must have mixed the cards up, but the other driver must have tried my card with his pin 3 times…
but cars cutting in do my head in… examples m6 to a14 a14 to m6 worse… and now plenty of lorry drivers starting to do this…
or cars going in the wrong lane on a roundabout just to try and get past and in front… but nothing makes me feel better than beating them round and forcingthem to stop and wait, or they could hit the bollards 
and cars coming out onto a motorway and leaving me strandard in lane 2…after letting em out, but have give up the ghost on letting them out, if i can get a ford KA uotp speed before joining then any car can…

what gets my goat is drivers in a yard getting tipped then sitting there blocking the canopy or yard and buckling up their curtains, why cant they move away and let someone else to start getting tipped. i mean pull the curtains back, poles in then move to let someone else in. no what i see is slowly pull curtains back, slowly buckle up while shouting and laughing to someone then go and get notes and come back with a coffee.What about drivers who wait until they are under the canopy BEFORE undoing the buckles
I wait until I am under the canopy at Asda Dartford because twice I have unbuckled the curtains only to be sent round the other side and unloaded through the rear doors. Anywhere else I undo them whilst waiting.

Rob K or is it ?When I see someone in road works who has actually left it that late to merge that he is almost in the cones then He/She deserves to be put into them, I suspect you are one of these irritating morons who do this. Most ordinary decent people do merge in turn but no 3 feet before the lane closes. Another thing that gets my goat is irritating people like you who do not think anyone else can have a valid opinion.
If they leave it til “3 feet before the lane closes” then I agree, but I doubt that you pull out to block the other lane(s) that close to the cones. In my experience, as soon as the 800 yard marker looms into view, you’re out there blocking the lane(s) like [zb]s and that’s the reason you should be banned. And no you can’t have a valid opinion if you insist on talking BS. 
Fileep:
Also, if traffic merged earlier, it would move freer, because if someone gets all the way to the front, the traffic in the left hand lane needs to slow or stop to let them in.
No, it doesn’t. You’re talking more rubbish. All merging earlier achieves is 18 miles of queue in lane 1 while the other lane(s) remain free of traffic for the same distance. If you learnt how to merge properly then none of this lane blocking BS you do would be necessary. The problem is that there are a minority who tank down the outside like [zb]s while lane 1 is stationary, and go all the way to the cones before trying to barge their way in. If they trundled along the lane at roughly the same speed as those in lane 1 (as I do) then people like you wouldn’t start frothing and would be happier to obey the signs that say “MERGE IN TURN” and zip merge with traffic in the other lane like you’re supposed to. 
As i work nights my hate is people who dont dip there headlights when coming towards me on dual carraiage ways or motorways.Or even put there lights up on full beam when they pull out to overtake me and promptly blind me

I agree with this as well. Easily fixed if they’re travelling in same direction and overtake you though 
, you just accidentally ‘knock’ your full beam switch yourself until they disappear over the horizon. 
I’d rather have the cars merge at the cones than try and push their way in earlier, all it does is make the queue longer.
The only problem you get is when your zip merging with cars it’s ok but when there’s a lorry with three or for cars alongside they all want to be in front of the lorry, instead of backing off and merging safely behind you see em bunching up behind the lead car in a desperate attempt to get in front and then have to stop and wait for you to pass before forcing their way in behind, because the car behind me can’t see what’s going on.

I once had 4 Mackeson bottle tops!!
Most of my issues that really bug me come from fuelling, as a lot of people above have mentioned.
I hop from truck to truck daily, I always leave them clean (or as clean as I found them at least) and full of diesel. Nothing worse than coming in at 4.30am planning to make a good start and having to delay because the driver the previous day has left it on a quarter tank. Fuelling up at the end of the day should be part of everyones routine, unless you are the only one using the truck.
Also, drivers sitting on the pumps. Had this at south mimms a week ago, pulled in there, only about 3 pumps for my side are working, all in use. No sign of any drivers. Eventually one come mincing out, casual as you like, coffee in hand. Gets into cab, door wide open, leg hanging out, clearly no intention of going anywhere. I gave him 3 minutes, and still the same. Still no sign of any other drivers. I went over in the end to ask if he would be kind enough to pull off as there were hardly any pumps working. He did, but again no sign of urgency. Boils my ■■■■.
Fill up, and pull forward. Bonus points for pulling off the pumps before paying. Common thing at the moment, seems to be only about half of the available HGV pumps working at most services in the South, so this is even more important. A bit of common courtesy and awareness that you are not the only person in the universe.
Motorway lorry parks that stink of ■■■■ annoy me as well. It is never /that/ far too the toilet. Just get up and walk there you lazy oiks.

Rubberneckers at accidents and other roadside incidents on motorways, which results in long queueus. It’s time some form of barrier or hedges were built into central reservations to stop it.
-
Motorists (and lorry drivers!) who, at an exit in the middle of roadworks, leave the motorway, and then go straight back on again in order to jump the queue of traffic.

That’s what slip roads are for, exiting and entering the motorway.
But I agree about the rubberneckers.

Point taken on that score, but they are not intended as a means of queue jumping! When it’s done just to queue jump it makes the situation worse as they try to get back into the queue, o.k. they’ve got a few yards further ahead, but those who stayed on the motorway are held up even longer because they have to give way to the queue jumpers, and in my opinion in the case of professional drivers - well, it just isn’t professional. It creates frustration among those who are sitting in the queue and can lead to shunts and even more delay, as I witnessed only last week TWICE on my way down from Scotland.
i get annoyed when i move over to let a fellow trucker on motorway and he just sits along side me
