I don't drive too fast, but I hate drivers that go well below the speed limit when the driving conditions are fine.

I was going to my Mum's yesterday and as I was turning right at a mini roundabout I didn't realise that an old dear was going all the way round. She wasn't going to stop so I reversed up so I was behind the line and she still nearly hit me!

I hate people who don't indicate! The air is as blue as the car when that happens.

I'm afraid that I'm quite an aggressive driver!!

I drive a lot and am amazed at some of the driving I see ( of course I am perfect [:D]). A car stopped in the 3rd lane of the motorway, causong me and another car to swerve. We pulled over to see if he was alright and he simply reversed his car to pull off at the junction he had just missed!!

I have to admit, one of biggest faults is undertaking - I am impatient if someone is going slow in the middle lane!

I grow horns and a tail when I'm behind the wheel and I'm not much better as a passenger! Obviously no one drives as well as me, so they should get out of my way!

I'm the same with undertaking Julie!

I am a terrible passenger and my foot is hitting "the brake" all the time [:D]

Same here Julie - Dave's told me that it really doesn't make any difference if I 'brake' but I can't help it!

I'm not too bad a passenger but I am a very aggressive driver.

I don't undertake but can understand sometimes why people do.

I'm afraid that I'm the headlights flashing brigade!!

I don't tend to flash lights but I gesticulate and shout obscenities - as if they can hear me!

If I'm a passenger with hubby, I divert my eyes- its too stressful!

Another hate, people who indicate and believe they then have the right to move into your lane regardless if there's room! That gets me flashing (headlights), beeping horn and I have been known to make a few hand gestures [:I]

Hope you lot don't pull up behind me --- if I get beeped or flashed (as long as a wheel isn't about to fall off or it's accompanied by blues and twos) I simply slow down.

I am lucky in that I rarely give way to the red mist -- the missus on the other hand is a different story [:I]

I would simply undertake you Foggy [:D]

Another thing I hate (I have quite a list [:D]), those halogen headlights that are so bright they blind you! I have a "bight" button on my car so I can reduce the glare, but if I drive hubby's car I notice them a lot.
