My Pet Hates. What are your top 5?

1)Drivers not indicating at roundabouts and junctions.
2)People in inside lane, especially in town traffic, who think they are driving a 6 wheeler lorry and swerve right to turn left.
3)While maintaining safe distance from car in front especially on motorways cars passing and cutting in close in front causing me to slow.
4) Whilst driving comfortably at reasonable speed 55-60 mph on 2 way roads being overtaken by vehicle which then slows down and invariably brakes for every corner.
5) Drivers who have zero road manners. All FL2's (3) Gone
2011 Mercedes C180 CGI Gone
FL2 GS Auto SD with heated leather, factory tints, alloy spare and a few other bits.

England 

1)Drivers not indicating at roundabouts and junctions.
2)Middle Lane Hoggers
3)Rear Fog Lights users, only used them twice in twenty years and I do between 50 and 60k a year, yet they feel the conditions are bad that they need them, but not bad enough to slow down.
4) While maintaining safe distance from car in front especially on motorways cars passing, then slowing down causing me brake.
5) Drivers who can see that the roundabout exit is blocked, but still proceed and block it for everyone else.

(Could easily have done a top ten)

druand, 4. is a peculiar Scottish habit, should you tow you will find it even more annoying, most vans will out corner the average corner speed of the average Scots driver, despite producing, a few GP drivers, two excellent ones, cornering is not a Scots forte, point and quirt is Laughing my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

In reply to number 4
The like/thanks button is purposely missing as it becomes a 'badge of honour', if you need to thank someone, tell them either via the forum or PM.
The like button is a nonsense, one persons like is another persons hate so it is meaningless, just like it is on Facebook.

My pet hate is wondering when the next Freelander 2 fault will arise. We have had 4 in the family and every one has had problems, some major, current 2 are under extended warranty but there is still the hassle of getting things sorted. FL1 TD4s were no problem. Just sent off for Jeep Renegade brochure.

1) People at junctions that use the left hand lane to get ahead then cut you up when they turn right.

2) Cars at roundabouts that think going straight on means cutting across all lanes.

3) People assuming that 4x4s are slow until we show them what a 190bhp car will do.

4) The nursery car park in the morning ( some people should not even attempt to park their husbands Audi - mentioning no gender Wink )

5) People that leave junctions until the last minute and cause you to break hard when they pull into your stopping gap.
