Mine are we pay our taxes for cycle tracks and you still get them riding along next to it in the dark wearing dark colours and no lights.
and why can't drivers not stick to one lane, at first i thought all Nissan Qashgai's had steering faults.
Actually, having now driven a Kia sportage and realised how difficult it was to keep in a lane on the motorway, I know why I'm extra careful
around 'chelsea tractors'. Obviously that's no excuse but I actually felt nervous driving it because of the complete lack of feedback
in the steering.
Flashy bike lights are just as bad as no lights, I don't know about anyone else but I can't gauge distances with a flashing light.
A few to be going on with.
Front fog lights incorrectly used but more so rear fog lights left on once you get behind a vehicle.
Pillocks that give me free laser eye treatment by sitting on the foot brake for 5 minutes at junctions etc rather than use the handbrake.
Idiots that have to pull up to a complete standstill at a roundabout that is 100% clear.
Twunts that pull out on you making you brake (it's usually clear for miles behind you) then potter along at 25mph olny to turn right a mile on
and hold you up a second time.
Numptys that potter along at 40mph along NSPL roads then continue at the same pace through a 30 limit.
Chesterfield fans.
Mansfield Town Fans (From Chesterfield originally).
I couldn't deal with the sheep ritual, prefer a stag anytime
Ar$eholes not indicating, coming quickly around the roundabout, causing you to have to suddenly stop. Then they indicate off as if it makes up for
it.
Cyclists - single file you tw4ts, not four a breast - it's not the Tour de France. And you wonder why I hurl abuse at you?
Bin men, why do you have to throw the recycle bin in front of my drive, and why can't you place it down so not to crack the bloody thing in
half?
Talking of bin men, local authorities, if you hadn't taken years of back handers and fiddling your expenses, perhaps you could keep my street
lights on and collect my bin every week.
I think that's enough for now.
Some angry people in here
Tell you something can someone tell me where all these tax paid cycle routes are? Because we are pitifully behind the rest of Europe who do actually
cater for cyclists. Also can you tell me how I cycle to the cycle track (which I always use where possible) and from cycle track to work? Teleport
perhaps? Oh no I have to use the road I do apologise profusely. Idiot
I do however cycle in single file, don't dress up in fancy costume just to look like wiggo and use bright led non flashing rear lights.
Forgetting to turn my scrotum warmer off at night.

Baby on Board signs in the back of cars. Who cares a bollock. And who cares a shoite whether Mummies Little Princess is in the car as well!!!
Think Bike signs, Aint it about time that some of them Think Car???
Numpties who pull up at the lights miles from the next vehicle and then gadually creep forward a bit at a time.
Drivers with dogs on the front seat.
May be some more later!!!
I hate the way petrol stations are now supermarkets, really annoys me sticking £40 in the car, having the £40 cash in my hand purely wanting to pay
for my fuel and go but now I have wait for ages a massive queue with
People doing their monthly shop
People wanting Coffee and cakes
Kids at school lunchtimes, dozens and dozens of them wanting sweets and Pot Noodles
They should have an express till just for people who want fuel.
People boarding planes who cannot just get in their fecking seat and stay put. Instead they dawdle then they need to sort their coats/luggage/phone/ipod/ipad/kindle/book/gossip mag/and every other worldly possession that they have to take to Tenerife. It then takes me an age to get off the bloody aircraft at work past all the dodderers.
People that have to moan about trivial things
All of the above plus stevem's ridiculously small garage.
I thought that I can be a grumpy beggar now and again - but I bow to my masters!
Cyclists.
Especially when they ride down the middle of the road, take offence at the abuse you hurl at them for riding like a tit.
To make it worse they then overtake you at the roundabout and flip you the bird.
You eventually catch up with them and it turns out they work at the same place as you!
Bugger.

"Concealed Drive/Entrance" signs. Why are you telling me - you're the ones pulling onto the road, so you be careful, or
move your effing entrance.
Stupid lights that come on when turning

People who ride their stupid unpredictable non road tax paying blasted dangerous HORSES on the road.
Cyclist who jump lights or even worse ride two abreast. Grrr! In my golf GT TDI mk 4 I pull round them and floor it kicking out a great gout of
asthma causing smog.
Farmers and their road blocking, frankly dangerous, non iva radius complying, tax payer subsidised tractors.

Standing behind someone in the queue at the supermarket check out who then looks at the person on the till in what seems to be utter astonishment at
being asked to pay, and then proceeds to spend five minutes looking for their debit card.
Ditto at airport security - get ready to put your stuff in the trays, don't wait until you get there and then stand there looking blank.
By the way, be careful how you respond as a cyclist to abusive motorists. I was cycling one day when I heard a car horn behind me. Assuming it was
some impatient motorist, I turned around and started to hurl abuse at them only to realise it was my best friends parents just saying hello (oops).

Cretins that hold up cars on NSL roads by driving at 40mph, but then have no qualms about doing 40mph through villages or residential areas with posted 30 limits. If you do find a place to overtake they often get quite huffy, and will tailgate you when you slow down in a 30 limit.
People that drive dangerously slow on nsl roads. It encourages people in a rush behind them to make dangerous risky overtakes they would never normally consider. Its most likely the no1 cause of head on collisions
One I'm seeing more and more now, the handbrake sensor light. Since when was it a handbrake sensor light? It's the test circuit for the low
brake fluid level light!!
(unless I am mistaken and there are actual handbrake sensor lights now?)
Sports car drivers who drive like tw%&tz
sadly Bradley Wiggins has a LOT to answer for - herds of overweight unfit middle aged men sat uncomfortably on £2k bikes who ride them like they are still sat in their Audi

Yep, cyclists jumping red lights and trying to be invisible. I know one day I'm going to plough into one of them.
I'll never forget the time I nearly did, transfixed at the small dot of light going up and down at the side of the road (the reflector in the
guy's pedal, that was all I could see of him!)
This kind of Cyclist gives others a bad name, watch the idiot taking his coat off and the one who cuts the Saab off.

AND LEAVE THEIR CARS AT THE PUMP WHILE THEY'RE DOING ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!!!!!
The only time I've ever lost my cool with anyone........ ever.
I can live with that, but the one that got me going into the petrol station shop and shouting for the owner of one of the cars, was having bought my petrol and bought a car wash ticket, I'd moved to the car wash and waited and waited as some idiot had parked in front of it and then gone in to browse the shop before buying his own ticket
