Have to agree with BigApe, im pretty chilled when im on the bike.
In the car though I get annoyed at all the idiot drivers, mostly BMW drivers and other big car drivers who dont seem to have a clue

I always finds its Volvo and 4x4 drivers that are the worst. When I'm in a car I go out of my way to p*ss off people in the really big 4x4's I ruddy hate them!

I also agree with the front & rear fogs in daylight especially in the tyne tunnel, and the cars blocking bikes from filtering. I'm sure they will stop doing it when the have no wing mirror to see you coming

switch on your rear fog lamps when there is no one close behind - but switch them off as soon as they have done their job and the driver behind can see your regular tail lamps. For example, if you are in a slow moving queue of traffic in fog, the driver 5 metres behind doesn't need your fog lights!

I hate it when...



you put your helmet on and realise you forgot to put your ear plugs in.

I don't care about fog lamps in the day, its when someones got one headlamp higher then the other cus they haven't adjusted them right. You just know it ain't getting sorted till the next MOT.
They always seem to end up behind me, blinding me in one of my mirrors.

I hate Taxi drivers and cyclists, niether seem to have any road sense. Cyclists think its everybody else's problem to avoid them and taxi drivers just think about the next fare so niether look at whats happening on the road.
