Two of mine - being a night driver - are drivers who think it’s acceptable to use their main beams in the face of oncoming traffic on a motorway, and drivers who insist on using rear foglights when there’s a very light mist, or drizzle, or simply because they’ve heard the word “fog” on the radio, or something. Oh, and drivers who use front fog lights (AKA “■■■■ lights”) at any time and in any circumstances whatever, but especially those who use them with sidelights as substitute headlights, giving themselves about three feet of forward visibility. 
What are your particular pet hates?

Think it’s quite easy to work out what peoples pet hates are, their on here day in day out moaning about them!
And now you’ve started a post that will probably end up 10 pages long that not many people will want to read, lol.
Car drivers pulling into the safe distance I’ve left, always happens approaching motorway exits when there’s nothing behind me

You would expect a car driver to do it, but when it’s a supposedly “professional” artic driver doing it, that’s a lot worse!!

That happens to me too,also when I catch up with cars at the point I decide to pull out and pass they burn off .
Pet hate threads.
We’ve all got pet hates, deal with it (them), crack on and keep it safe. 
Had a fellow truck driver nearly take my front bumper off this afternoon going north on the M6, and I’m not joking when I say he was only a couple of feet passed me?? Left me feeling a touch violated
I hate people who drive too slow & those that don’t indicate, really boils my ■■■■■
:twisted:
Apart from the oap’s pulling out right infront off me from our local garden centres then doing 15mph along the road which I have learnt to just flash them out instead off having to slam the anchors on now it has to be front fogs it used to just be the Chavs but now there all on it, Kia and Hyundai need to stop fitting them. I know it’s really cool looking and you look hard driving down the road with them but at night it’s a pain in the aris when there coming towards you.

Did he use lube? I can’t stand the dive bombing bustards abd they always get the air horns
My biggest pet hate is trying to pour a cuppa and having to keep checking my mirrors in case some bugger with a camcorder is filming me in action.
After years of tea pouring experience I can do it without taking my eyes off the road even if occasionally I do pour the tea into the wrong cup holder section that has no cup in it.
Car mimsers in lane one that speed up by 1mph when you go to overtake them & then slow down by 1mph when you give up & drop back in or match your speed precisely the moment you are parallel with them. Seriously lose the will to live when I get this, Darwin isn’t doing his job.
Coming up to a roundabout, wanting to maintain my speed but jump on the brakes for somebody coming from the right, only for the ■■■■ to turn left with no indication, thus wasting my company’s time and fuel.
Car drivers who clearly think they’re the bee’s knees because they have a nice car but cannot follow lane discipline for ■■■■, forcing me to drive slowly to allow for their changing lanes and unnecessary braking… And the icing on the cake is when they finally find their way after having held me up, they floor it away on the straight to compensate for their awful driving.
And y’all can call ME an awful driver (;)) but the other thing that REALLY annoys me is when I am in a queue of vehicles signalling left to exit a dual carriageway/motorway and I notice somebody speeding from behind but clearly braking as they get near to me (obviously suffering from ‘must get past the lorry’ syndrome!), but alas I am too late getting on the gas to close up the gap in front of me. I know I’ll get moaned at but come on, it IS satisfying denying somebody who won’t fall into line the audacious way out 
p.s. This is only if they’re not indicating and I ‘sense’ they’re trying to trick me by not doing so! If they indicate, I’ll allow for them!

If I was Chris Eubank in his Mack I’d just leave it on cruise and push them up the motorway, they’d soon speed up.
I’ve had an unusual amount of these pricks today, they should be took off the road. Why car drivers insist on hanging around on motorways at 55 is beyond me.
Lack of lane discipline,indication and general courtesy.
They have always been my “pet hates” but seem more common nowadays . . . or is it me just turning into a miserable old git?
