I don't get the overtake coming out of a 30 too often but I get what I call the 40mph brigade everywhere.
My commute to work takes me on a 9 mile stretch of road that has 50mph, 40mph, 60mph limits with a couple of 30s in the villages. I have a moron pointlessly tailgating at 30mph then when the road goes into 50 or 60mph depending on the section they fall way behind and don't go over 40, clearly in no hurry I seriously don't get it

The constant need for people to brake for no reason....ooh there's some traffic a mile in the distance and i'm doing 50, lets hit the brakes.
I'm approaching a round about in 5 minutes time.....BRAKE!!!

And where do we all stand on what I shall delicately call "...inappropriate lighting...." ?
Or fog lights on when they shouldn't be, and off when they should be on.
And similar.

PS Yes, initially I wanted my DRLs to be switchable and was grumpy when they could not be de-activated. But I am older and wiser now !

The M60/62 has some of the worst driving I've ever seen and the worst headlight/foglight discipline/administration I've experienced.
I saw a girl the other day with no rear bulbs, dead headlights and her fog lights on in rush hour traffic.
I dropped the window, 'scuse me luv, you've got no rear lights at all'
'Yeah, I know thankyou'
Then sort it out you tit.

Yup - completely agree with the above, another one is when people come to a complete stop at roundabouts when nothing is coming!

Yes but if they drive a Merc, BMW or Audi then they have right of way.
