People on Mopeds ... right in the middle of the lane
Thet's what you're supposed to do. You're either on the road or not. If you're on it, you use a lane. (Otherwise car drivers will act as if you don't exist).
I go with the folk who've nominated BMW drivers. Do they have to take a special 'Drive Like a Tw@t' test before they're given the keys or something?
In fact, as I tool up and down the nations motorways and A roads I've noticed a tendancy for owners of German cars in general to be hyper aggressive tailgaters who hurtle down the fast lane of M ways at 95 even in thick fog and driving rain!

and what's more the bastards won't pull over to let me go past 'em >:

That's 'cos the cars are quite capable of doing that safely. Show a bit of consideration and pull over - how much of a hint do you need?
My favourite game is chav-baiting. Let them think they've got a chance in their mod-ed 1.2 Nova and then squeeze on the power so they can't quite get past and listen to them revving the bolloxs off it to save face. Quick two fingers, clog it and then off into the distance
It is true that a car reveals a persons personality.
The type of person likely to have an "exec" like a BMW is exactly the same sort of person who climbs the greasy pole at some slick office and is not afraid to upset others or act selfishly. These people are aggressive in their workplace and aggressive in their driving styles.
In the same way that Volvo drivers tend to be old, boring, civil servants who have lost the will to live and the ability to drive properly.
Middle aged women with poor eyesight, zero confidence, little ability are just plain frightening in any car.
