                I would like to add.

                Motorist who do not give way to pedestrians while they are crossing at road junctions. (I applauded a pedestrian who kicked a car (driven by a woman) that just missed him while doing the above.

                Motorists who think that it’s a good idea to take shortcuts down the wrong way of one-way streets. (Usually woman again.)

                Tailgaters.

                Rsoles who cut across min roundabouts a full speed disregarding all rules.
                Micra divers who manage to park three feet off the curb and in between two car spaces.

                Disabled divers who think the blue badge exempts them from all motoring laws including driving through pedestrian only and bus only areas.

                  Its usually mothers. As they have a small child onbard their enormous 4WD they are allowed to break all road rules. And allowed to run down pedestrians. Including people like Mrs BP and the kids when walking to school. Despite that we probably live furthest from the school.

                  If all women who drives 4WD were shot the world would be a much better place.

                    Men (or min) ..... (why is it always men?) who, when they see you let someone into a queue, rush out after them and force you to let them out too.

                    Men (why is it always men?) who overtake the minute you get into a higher speed zone, then half a mile later, or less, brake hard and force everyone to stop while they turn off the road.

                    Men (why - oh well, you the idea) who drive so close to your rear bumper that you can see nothing of their car in the rear view mirror, just the whites of their eyes.

                    Men who overtake when there is a long line of traffic all going at the same speed. All they do is force everyone to brake each time they try to pull in, then they end up 5 miles later only a few cars ahead of where they started.

                    Anyone who parks in a disabled space without a sticker - my mum and husband have them but they're often no use because the spaces are filled by the able-bodied ................ usually men of course.

                    Men.

                      Of course you could try pulling in instead of driving in the wrong lane.
