What annoyed you today whilst driving ?

Was there a glut of 14 plate 318 efficient dynamics that every car dealer here decided to whack on aftermarket m sport kits and 19 alloys?! They’re everywhere. Guy near me has the whole heap including quad M3 style exhausts. Do the reg app search and it’s like 163bhp or so, etc. Love hitting the loud pedal in my F31 335d at the lights if one pulls up in the lane beside me. Bye!

Tickets for me can be purchased alongside the jimmy Carr ones.
Optional extra however.

Commuting out of Belfast yesterday on the bike and the M1 was littered with vehicles with rear lights faulty I.e one side out or totally off 
. Now this time of year with darkness upon us pretty early. this is pretty mental.
why do people not do the usual checks on their vehicle to ensure all is ok?
it’s shocking how many newer vehicles show these symptoms at such early stageS.

People don't grasp that DRL's are not headlights, expecting vehicle checks is beyond capability.Commuting out of Belfast yesterday on the bike and the M1 was littered with vehicles with rear lights faulty I.e one side out or totally off

Pretty standard driving for white Van's, 99% of the time they are driven by a complete arsehole with no consideration for anyone else on the road.

People who drive on your side of the road after heavy rain to avoid puddles and gesticulate to you on the way past as if it’s your fault (for existing I assume).

Couple of bad floods there yesterday. Was testing the wading depth of the Cayenne lol.
Last night some t**t near drove into the side of me at McDonald's at Boucher going towards Broadway's first set of lights. Right alongside them and they indicate and start to drive into my lane must've been inches away from connecting with me after I blared the horn. Also seconds later at the set of lights towards the Westlink a guy tried to race me of the lights in his Astra to get in my lane for the Westlink since he was heading toward the Royal...... I wasn't having it.
To get on the Westlink going around Broadway isn't that difficult....... is it??

You'd like to think it isn't, but a lot of people seem to make it very difficult.

Commuting home on M1 yesterday evening on the m'bike, was on the right hand lane due to left lane being slower moving; keeping about 3 sec distance behind car in front, bright lights in mirror looked around and van right up my tailpipe. Now its dark, we had very cold weather and roads were wet yesterday evening ... this guy had no clue or cared. next available opportunity i moved to left lane, van sped past and noticed he was turning off at my exit. i debated whether to have a word with him as there are usually queues when trying to exit the ramp. so decided i would ask. so drove up, and gave his window a knock. initially he looked stunned so when window was down i asked him what he was doing ... he had no clue. when i said about tailgating me in the weather conditions we now have ... his response was me being on the fast lane (?) doing 60, i asked him as being in a van could you not see the other vehicle in front of me, and that i was keeping distance due to my stopping distance and keeping myself safe and was he not aware of a min 2 sec rule?
he proceeded to go on about me being in this "fast lane" and i asked but does that give you the right to tailgate me and he proceeded with telling me that i was only doing 60. I had to give up in the end as the guy was convinced he was doing absolutely nothing of concern to other road users.
scary people on the roads these days

M50 has accidents every fracking day.... Yet people still feel the need to slow wayyyyyyy down to have a nosey, there should be partitions up the middle to keep cnuts on the opposite side from causing 5 mile tailbacks
As soon as everyone passed the accident they accelerated on and everything went back to normal

Had to drop my mums car off at Audi, that A2 Bangor to Belfast road is a disaster. How anyone can do that daily is beyond me!

Its not great.
What really pisses me off is the number of idiots driving with no lights on.
I left home this morning about 6.30am, about 6 or 7 cars on the A2 with either no lights on at all, or driving with DRL's only i.e. no tail lights

Saturday night, around 8.30 so completely dark, joined the dual carriageway at Ballygawley, climbing the hit towards Dungannon, guy in lane 1, doing around 40 mph with no lights on, just DRLs. I turned my lights off and on qui Ky, and he got the hint thankfully.
Crazy how dangerous that is
