What annoyed you today whilst driving ?

[Gambit]

Driving along the carriageway from Bangor to Ards, road completely empty. Fella up ahead in a Passat clogging up the outside lane...moved into the outside lane myself with plenty of warning rather than undertake...guy eventually moves left after about a minute. Once I pass he then proceeds to pull straight back into the outside lane and give me the full beams. I move back into the inside lane having overtaken and go about my day. Some people are truely space cadets.

you could have proceeded in inside lane at speed limit and legally undertake him

 

[Boydie]

Really? I got pulled by harbour police for undertaking past Audi

I did this to the police once on the same road and they pulled me lol. Had to explain to law to them

if you undertook it and then pulled out into the lane ahead of the audi then that is undertaking but if you stay in the inside lane then that is perfectly legit

 

[Ben]

Yep, called passing on the inside rather than undertaking.

I see the same thing on the carriage way between Bangor and Holywood all the time.
Infact this morning about 6.40am some very tired folks were doing 45ish in the inside lane after the lights at the old garden centre place, someone slightly less tired person was doing 50odd in the overtaking lane, and staying there.
I eventually flashed them, the moved over, and immediately moved back once I got past, didn't give me the main beams thankfully.

These two people blocking the only Ultimate Diesel pump at the Hartford Link in Ards.... Over 10 mins I was sitting waiting. Girl in the black Corsa didn't even get fuel, too lazy to walk the extra 15m from all the free parking spaces obviously and this was after coming at the pump from wrong side too.

Lane 1 to yourself, 70 indicated, sod everyone else

I would argue this in court quite happily if ever pulled for it.

It’s wild there. Worse inside too

 

[Rocko]

Two things.

Cretins driving over the hatchings to avoid sitting at the lights.

And zero water facilities at either of the Comber garages for refilling washers.

 

[quattro Rick]

Knobs driving about in their dopey white x5s with fogs on all round whilst it's completely clear

Thought it was a woman until I passed at he was turning off


Certain road users who sit at 30 for the entire length of the upper road into Carrickfergus, waving back and forth, totally unfit to drive a car

 

[Boydie]

Same on Hill Hall I have found - was stuck behind someone doing 25mph who braked for every corner and every on coming car

Hill hall is a roll of the dice, you can get a clear road for a decent rip, or you overtake one numpty to catch another in about 60 secs.

Same with most B roads in this country

The Texaco at the bottom of the Glenshane is always like that and it’s the always the pump closest to the door with the super.

Perfectly acceptable to drive over hatching if safe to do so and it isn't a hatching with a solid line around it.

It's still a do not enter unless necessary zone if broken outer lines. Usual do not enter unless emergency if solid outer lines.

 

[Chris tii]

Dirty git in front of me kept throwing his snotty tissues out of his window in rush hour traffic tonight.

You can enter them.

So in rockos instance assuming left lane is solid with traffic you are within your right to drive up the hatching if turning right

 

[Rocko]

Really? I assumed it was a no go.

Still, c*nts.

 

[Chris666]

Thats what bikes were invented for

 

[JonnyB23]

The moron that decided to emergency stop on the onslip onto the motorway this morning, simply because she didn't like the gap she was about to go into.

Lines and lane markings on the road (127 to 132)

A broken white line. Double white lines where the line nearest to you is broken.

Point 130.

Foglight c**ts - yes, there is a little bit of fog but when you can still see 20+ cars in front of you, they are not required.

People on the M'way who overtake at the speed they are currently doing, they do not accelerate into the passing lane

People speeding up to not let people in just out of badness

Dicks on Hill Hall you drive at 20mph and brake for every corner and on coming car

I hate my morning commute now

 

[pizza85]

Whats wrong with overtaking at the speed your currently doing? If I am sitting at 70 and someone on the inside is doing 65 i will move (if clear) to the outside lane at the same speed, pass them, and move back in. No need for me to speed up in that case.

 

[gary87]

People sitting up your hole when you're doing 80 in the fast lane, pull in to let them past and they pull in right behind you and continue to sit up your hole?

Also, drivers not being able to maintain a constant speed, on my commute today, people in the outside lane varying their speed between 65-85? GTF!
