4. The un-indicator

Drivers who refuse to indicate treat everyone around them like mind readers. You might be lucky and see their car drift in their lane so you can anticipate their next move – but more often than not they like to keep you on your toes with a sudden lane shift. Whether it comes down to pure laziness or poor driver training, failure to indicate shows little regard for anyone else on the road.

5. The ungrateful driver

You pull up to traffic lights and signal for a car to pull out of a parking lot in front of you. They join the traffic and then continue on without a backwards glance or the merest acknowledgement of your hefty benevolence. It’s enough to turn you from a generous saint to an aggrieved grinch in a second. Of course we jest, but in a recent eBay survey a massive 40% of drivers felt annoyed when other drivers didn’t do the 'thank you' gesture after being let into traffic.

6. The indecisive overtakee

You’ve followed someone for what feels like forever going 20km/h under the speed limit, but thankfully there’s an overtaking lane coming up. You move into the right lane to safely pass aaand the driver suddenly chooses that moment to accelerate up to the speed limit. Perhaps this is to do with overtaking lanes being on a straight bit of road more than driver intention – but it never fails to be exasperating.

7. The last-minute swerver

The last-minute swerver is a true agent of chaos. They usually inhabit the right lane of a freeway or highway until they suddenly realise they MUST take this exit. Cue locked-up brakes and curses all around them as they swerve across multiple lanes across solid white lines. The worst of all last-minute swervers are the ones who do so in front of a heavily-loaded truck, risking not only their safety but also everyone else’s.

8. The ‘creative’ parker

More than half of drivers feel vexed by others who don’t park within the lines. It’s easy to see why, when one carelessly parked car can cause a chain reaction of disarray. It just feels selfish when a car is parked over two spaces. Of course, even worse is when someone else’s parking forces you to park out of alignment and then leaves before you do, somehow making YOU look like the jerk in the situation. Being annoying at that scale takes true skill.
