Some of my unfavourite people. The idiot who stops at the intersection on a red light and waits for the light to change. Drives into the intersection, hits the brakes, starts a turn and then starts signalling the turn. Local law says at city speeds, you must signal 30 metres before the turn, at highway speeds, you must signal 150 metres before the turn.

I remember one time when commuting to work with a co-worker, they started counting the lane changes done by one vehicle. Over the 5km we were near them, they did 23 lane changes and moved from 2 vehicles behind me to 5 vehicles ahead before taking a exit. I figure they saved at least 14 seconds!

Don't block the box.

A tractor on a highway (ok, they can go at 80 Km/h) within two high beam lights mounted above behind its cabin, pointing back.

People who believe it's ok to block the outlet of dead-end streets for anything other than an emergency.

They are the same who think you can park illegally, obstruct one lane on a narrow road at a blind bend etc to nip into a shop 1 minute walk from a car park. Sometimes they put on their hazard lights.

Drivers that don't know how to make right turns when there are two or more turning lanes.
I've lost count of the number of times I have been run off the road by drivers that decide to change into my lane mid-turn.
