Driving Pet Peeves by ibkayee(op):
By no means am I the best driver, but these are just things I find annoying idc

1. When the person who DOESN’T have right of way lunges in front of you

2. When you’re within the speed limit and someone is trying to overtake you at the most tight, accident prone position on the road

3. Tailgaters when you’re already driving within the maximum permitted speed or more

4. People who don’t indicate

5. People who indicate late/as they’re turning the corner, I find them even more annoying than people who don’t indicate at all

6. When people drive the wrong way in one-way areas in car parks when the car park is busy

7. Cyclists who ignore traffic signs/signals

8. When you allow a jaywalker who isn’t supposed to be jaywalking in the first place to cross and they take their sweet time

Not so much annoying as funny, so honourable mention I guess:

When you’re within the speed limit and someone overtakes you only for them to get stuck at the traffic lights 2 seconds later or blocked by the person in front so you end up right next to each other again

As a Racing Cyclist as well as a daily commuting Cyclist, the things you listed above are also some of my most hated pet peeves too

Red Light jumping cyclists hits home the most as it paints the Majority of us law abiding cyclists with the same Bad brush.

Next are Car tailgaters. When I check behind me and I see that I am being tailgated, I usually just stop and have a few choice words with the driver. It's very dangerous.

I can imagine, jumping to avoid having to wait a few more seconds isn’t worth your life smh

Lool! I don’t blame you, it annoys me with the body of my car protecting me so being tailgated as a cyclists would trigger my anxiety by double
