Default Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Drivers that don't pay attention to pedestrians when turning corners

High way code rule 170

watch out for pedestrians crossing a road into which you are turning. If they have started to cross they have priority, so give way

And drivers who dont understand box junctions

174
Box junctions. These have criss-cross yellow lines painted on the road (see ‘Road markings’). You MUST NOT enter the box until your exit road or lane is clear. However, you may enter the box and wait when you want to turn right, and are only stopped from doing so by oncoming traffic, or by other vehicles waiting to turn right. At signalled roundabouts you MUST NOT enter the box unless you can cross over it completely without stopping.
Law TSRGD regs 10(1) & 29(2)
