    I hate people that open their car doors wide when parked and don't GAS about anyone coming down the road !!!

    I personally get as close to them as possible to piss them off

    Whatever happened to "open door when it is safe to do so " ?

    Entitled and arrogant tw@ts

    When you are courteous in traffic and you intend to let 1 or 2 cars into a gap in a queue that starts moving and 6 other cars force their way in.

    Haha, Neralee did that the other day and ran into a right arsehole who threatened her because she refused to let him in AFTER she had already done the zipper courtesy ....... she drove to the police station and he followed her, then drove off and the police folowed him and gave him a severe talking to after she went in to the police station in her nurse outfit to report the incident .... I still don't like cops but the NSW cops are the best of a bad bunch

    1. In slow traffic when people keep no distance and play with their phones, particularly behind valuable cars.


    2. When there is a slow vehicle on the road and people keep piling up behind it with zero distance and zero intention to overtake.

    "Congratulations on turning a single, easy to overtake vehicle into a 7 car snake which can not be overtaken safely at all."

    Nothing worse than purposely parking out of the way in an empty car park only to have someone park right next to you when you get back..

    Same mentality as those whom on an empty freeway drive right alongside you in the other lane and just sit there

    A couple of months ago I was with my brother and he parked his Audi SUV (which he loves) right at the very back of the carpark with no-one within several hundred metres as he was worried about others parking near him...

    Yep. Sure enough when we emerged from the shops ten minutes later some knob in a ute had parked so close we literally couldn't open the passenger door for me to get in and he had to reverse out with great care so I could open the door.

    Quite bizarre, but I have to admit I was laughing internally...

    I was driving back from Sydney in the QV many years ago and stopped at a pub in Nambucca with a HUGR carpark, parked as far away from the entrance as possible even though there were NO cars in the 300+ carpark and sure enough,Troy and I come out and some idiot has parked right next to me just millimetres away from my driver's door

    People who swing out wide before turning left crossing slightly into the right lane. Happens daily to me lately where I’m forced to brake or or move over more.

    I'm good, no pressure or anger driving the roads out here as traffic is light lol

    But..................I don't like slow drivers. If it's a 60 km/h zone, drive 60 km/h ya slow ****!

    Out on the highway is worse, grey nomads saving fuel driving 80 km/h in a 110 km/h zone................****en **** off the road maggots!

    Otherwise I'm good. :oops::oops:

    Anyone ever drive in Spain the last 5 years or so? New law made it illegal to pass on right I guess. Long story short, everyone is either in the slow lane or, if not, the guy behind is tapping your bumper. It sounds crazy but it works really well. We all weaved into the fast lane TO PASS A TRUCK OR WHATEVER AND RIGHT BACK INTO RIGHT LANE. Ah ****, I hate cap lock! Sorry....anyway it was really refreshing to have everyone on the road actually aware of how they were driving. And....it really works!

    I hate it when all of the lanes at the front of a traffic light are taken up by big trucks, so that when the light finally turns green only about two cars get through before the lights change again.

    Trucks should be banned from anything but the left lanes at traffic lights (unless turning, obviously).
    I think that is actually the law in some places, but not here and it drives me nuts.

    Most idiots do not understand roundabouts, giving way to a car that's 270° away, or 100m up the road.
