And badly adjusted washer jets
that fire over the top of cars and leave you stinking of screenwash and bikes that try to go round the outside of you on bends and realise
they've overcooked it and nearly highside in front of you  .
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

now, this is going to be a long thread.
my 5 most hated things ever are:
-those blue LED things on washer jets pikeys have on their cars.
- scallys/pikeys/townies/chavs etc (whatever u call them in your area)
-cars done up to look well fast, that can barely reach 30mph (check out chavscum.com)
-speed cameras
-man united

Don't know how many of you frequent www.pistonheads.com but I have been reliably informed by someone (not plod) who owns an LTI2020 (the laser
speed gun in most common use) that 7's are one of the hardest vehicles to catch (specialy with a dodgy stick on front number plate).
"Tested 2 a few weeks ago. Approaching, one nothing at all at any range, the other from about 80ft only after aiming at a headlight for some
time. Both had stick on plates on the upper nose cone. Compared to a dicovery on the same access road that I could target at 600ft & clock
instantly. Receeding was a different matter much easier, due to normal refletive plates but one was still difficult to target. "
Forgot to add my hates:
1) Women using rear view mirror to do hair/makeup. Steer very clear, was almost taken out on my bike by some stupid woman doing this.
2) All speed humps, just encourages use of Surburban AssaUlt Vehicles.

People who decide that the best time to tune the radio / find the tape they want is while driving. My mate's Dad was nearly killed by someone
doing this round a blind corner... ended up on the other side of the road. Bint.
Also... people who say "Only an idiot would drive a red Ferrari" (Ann Robinson)WHAAAAAAT?!

numberplates must be mounted vertically - stick on number plates on locost cones will get you nicked - but Im not sure points go with it.
pet hates? friggin hand dryers. whats with those? any given washroom will have sinks outnumbering dryers by at least 4 to 1. so, it takes 8 secs to
wash, and 30 secs to dry. So how does that work out.
paper towels any time.
nanny state - thats another,
and the gits that bought the co i work for recently.

Women taking their kids to school in a huge 4x4. Doesn't matter if it's one of the ones designed to go up hills (eg range rover) or not
(eg X5). It's not the fact that they are massive and you can't see past them, it's the fact that the person driving has no driving
skill, awareness or respect for anyone else, and will invariably set about making your life a misery with a grand display of their ineptitude

this will be a popular one
"flatcaps" as they are collectively called in my area, who drive at at about 43 miles an hour regardless of any speed limits ie 43 mph in
30,40,50 and 60 zones
and then they shake their heads at you and tink your scum when you overtake them the first chance you get

They "may" get you nicked, but to be honest the chances are pretty low these days. Gatso's can't do anything about it, and as
they seem to be replacing traffic police the point is rapidly becomming moot.
Offence codes:
Offence Code 481 is "Keeping/Driving without registration mark (VDR)" You can have a £30 fine, or process and VDRS (Vehicle Defect
Rectification Scheme) applies, but doesn't have to be offered. NOTE that VDRS does NOT apply to LGV's PCV's or Taxis. This means
that you get processed, but if you got the problem sorted and have the VDRS ticket stamped by an MOT station and returned to the police within 14
days, there's no further action.
Offence code 482 is "Registration Mark not fixed in accordance with regulations" Again, £30 FPN, No VDRS
Offence Code 483 "Registration mark obscured or not easily readable" £30 FPN No VDRS, and note that this includes dirty cars, and plates
covered with Snow in the winter!
Almost worth the risk to just keep a slightly damaged front plate inside the car, and if you are stopped tell them it got ripped off by a speed
bump...

Tw@ts that overtake on a dual carriageway, cut you up by exiting at the net slipway when there was nothing behind you for two miles
Total fecking a'holes
(PS. Happens almost daily on my way to work)
(PPS. The tw*t living on my estate with a bog standard Fiat who drives like an ar*e and has fitted a full roll cage. Nice!!!)
If a bolt is stuck force it.
If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway!!!

There is an exemption for cars which have design not suitable for vertical mounting of a number plate such as the Jag E Type, not sure how this could
be related to a Locost but got to be worth a try!
Pet hate one - smokers who think the world is their litter bin. How often do you see the cellophane wrapper come out of the window, followed by the
bit of foil, and no doubt later the still lit fag end. I never thought about this from a "no windscreen" point of view but having in the
past had a couple of cars with small leaks from petrol tanks it always worries me. Also a reason i don't particularly like plastic tanks -
probably illogical fear of the fag end getting stuck next to the tank and melting it then boom!
Second pet hate - tractors etc. who don't use their mirrors and see a line of cars behind them waiting to overtake and just drive past
lay-by's they could wait in.
Third - those people who catch up with a car, then sit behind it without ever trying to overtake, too close to allow you to get between them and the
car in front so you get stuck waiting for a gap big enough to pass two cars.
Fourth - I could go on, and on, and on but will wait for another time. It's POETS day after all
