4x 4 vehicles doing school run parking any old place-zig-zags? no problem
HGVs on dual carriageway overtaking other HGVs with a speed differential of 1 or 2 mph causing unnecessary delays/hold ups/frustration to other road users
Cars that drive in lane 1 of motorways at less than 65mph causing frustration to HGVs
And so on & so on....
crap personalised number plates
car/van/lorry/bus drivers using hand held phones
Cyclists who terrorise pedestrians by recklessly riding on pavements..

Yep agree. They are all very annoying.
Earlier today I joined the 2 lane motorway in front of an HGV. Heavy traffic in the outside lane.
After approx. a quarter of a mile I came up behind a car doing about 55 MPH. Still heavy traffic in outside lane, so no opportunity to overtake.
Said lorry comes roaring up about half an inch off my bumper flashing his headlamps. I still can't overtake the car in front.
Eventually the lorry overtakes (having the first opportunity, being at the rear of our 3 vehicle convoy).
He levels alongside my window and gives an extended blast on his air-horn, then carries on.
Unless he was auditioning for a re-make of 'Duel' I fail to see what the twats problem with me was :rolleyes
I appreciate what a difficult job it must be trying to manoeuvre a truck that size in motorway traffic and the vast majority are great drivers, but there is a few who lord it over everyone else simply because they are the biggest thing there.

Either way, a truck on a single carriageway road is not meant to go over 50mph.
It was a container lorry.
The motorway was 2 lanes in each direction.
I was surprised at his speed. After he had overtaken myself and Mr Slowly in front of me 'Slow' accelerated to a steady 60MPH, but the truck was still pulling away from us both gradually.
I stayed back, reluctant to get alongside him. It was only a few miles to my turn-off and you never know what someone like that is going to do, do you.
