Most Annoying (Lawful) Driving Behaviours

[High Test With da Best]

Improper lane change, hi-beams on city streets, and failure to maintain constant speed are all unlawful.

Thanks, I didn't know I completely suck but now it's apparent, how can I ever make recompense for your critical contribution to the understanding of the self?

#3: Lane-hogging:



Someone went into the woods and came out with a unicorn:

Thames Valley Police has issued a warning to drivers after a car was filmed in the outside lane for five miles.

The force said its unmarked bikers clocked the Mercedes on the M4 not following the rules of the road.

Officers pulled the driver over and gave them a ticket for being in the incorrect lane yesterday morning.

Posting on social media, drivers were given a reminder about ensuring safe motorway driving.

While on patrol on the #M4 this morning, one of our unmarked bikers observed this Mercedes travelling in the outside lane without moving back to the correct lane for over 5 miles.

The outside lane is to be used for overtaking slower vehicles in the nearside and middle lanes. Likewise, the middle lane is for overtaking slower vehicles in the nearside lane.

You should be driving in the leftmost available lane when not overtaking.

Unnecessarily remaining in an overtaking lane causes congestion, frustrates other drivers and demonstrates a lack of paying attention to your surroundings!

Ticket issued.

To be honest most of the behaviours mentioned ITT are against the law, but the law is very rarely enforced. I used that title because obviously things like driving 180mph on bath salts with no license is annoying but I'm talking about things that are standard.

If I believed everyone's indicating or lack thereof at roundabouts I'd have gone through 150 cars and been run over 1,000 times.

People eating their lunch and driving. I can understand maybe a snack like a candy bar or something but I see people having burgers and driving. Wtf, dude. Pull over and eat.

That’s legal where you live? Here in Peru, driving while having anything in your hands that prevents you from having both hands on the steering wheel is a traffic violation qualified as "Serious" that will get 20 points taken off your license and a fine of… quick google check… 8% of a Tax Unit*.


* The Tax Unit for 2025 is 5,350 soles, so the fine would be 428 soles or approximately USD 124.

tailgate here happens just on highway and while is super common is'nt legal on two parts for our laws, first the break safety distance, second they usually break speed limit

Like here on theory max limit is 130kmh, but if you drive like that on fast lane within 1 min you're getting somebody going 150/160 attached to your ass lol

There might some laws on the books regarding that, but it seems the only thing you absolutely can not do over here, is talk/text on a phone. Eating in the car is commonplace.

R3t4rds beeping their horns at you when you haven't done anything wrong, you just are delaying them by a few seconds by your presence.

Flashing their lights when they let you go or merge, sometimes it means let you go sometimes it means I'm coming through don't merge. Thats the worst.

Slow pokes camping out in the left lane. Also, lately there has been a massive increase in cars not turning right on red. Or even worse, they'll sit and wait for a minute, then turn....while the light is still red. I try to gently persuade them by beeping or yelling, "FUCKING GOOOO!"

People repeatedly beeping in traffic jams. I saw it today.
