How about the "English Speakers"?

Two people, when one bashes the other, will park at the middle of the road and start speaking grammar, while other road users become spectators for those 10 minutes.

If they're women, 20 minutes.

Op, many Nigerian drivers actually are guilty of these infractions....they don't know there's something called driving etiquette, many never went to driving school anyway. The worst offenders though are the commercial vehicle drivers - bus/danfo/taxi even okada!
If u even try to correct them, u get insulted.

PS- u forgot not respecting the pedestrians' right of way, speeding over zebra crossing and around school zones, running the red lights, etc. I guess we need driving reorientation and retraining in this country
My humble submission

I don't know why this riles me, but i can't stand seeing the driver of a vehicle putting his hand out the window and holding onto the roof of the car... angry I've tried it to see what gives, but nothing! Almost looks like the driver is holding the door from falling off.. grin

imagine ooo. one old man was negotiating a roundabout while I was driving right behind him today and suddenly he applied the brake and quickly called on the vendor guy loitering around to purchase newspaper right on a roundabout!!! I manoeuvred past him and felt like cursing but I just shook my head and drove on. WTF!!!

The keke guys are more guilty of this annoying attitude. The funny thing is they don't dare do that when a trailer or lorry is behind them. smiley

Drivers that put their little kids aged 1-3 years on their laps while driving. So irritating. What are they trying to prove? That you love your kid or you are trying to teach him/her how to drive a car or you are just so damn stoopid? And while doing this at snail speed the line of vehicles behind you stretches as far as the eye can see. So annoying!!!

My personal worst of them all - the one who is a lane polygamist. Cannot just keep to a lane and drive in a straight line like an adult. They will straddle two lanes and be eyeing a third and you'll be there behind them honking your horn fruitlessly. Gosh! This one makes me into the sort of foul-mouthed person that nobody will recognise.

Please to any Nigerian road users reading this: those dotted white lines on the road are not just helpful suggestions to be ignored at will. You are meant to drive inside a lane. Drive then indicate when you are coming out at least 3 seconds before you actually come out. Stop driving like illiterates! Please!

Honourable mention to the woman drivers who go around terrorising innocent drivers because the mugu at home is the one maintaining the car. Just continue o, you hear?
One day bushmeat go catch hunter.

I actually thought we women are more careful when it comes to driving,
The people that annoy me the most are those ones that will always straddle the lane, they refused to recognize the essence of that white line in the middle .
And another set of people are those that has has sworn never to use their indicator .
Ok. I am guilty of horn blasting only because of the above two lol.

women demonstrate stingyness when driving. and when you jump into their front without begging or looking at their frowning faces. they start chasing you and blaring horns to call your attention so they can use fingers to touch their heads to signal they are insulting you. I never look at them after the deed. if they like they should put navy or airforce sticker on the windscreen.

If you know how to drive, you'd know there are two levers beside the steering wheel; the one on the left controls the trafficators and lamps, while the other one on the right controls the
wipers

So sometimes, a woman may make the mistake of tapping the lever that controls the wipers instead of trafficating when changing lanes.....

The silly part is, even some men are guilty of that
