i driver a lorry every night on the M25 and im getting really p***ed off with the idiots that drive their car with bl**dy fog lights on when theres no need. come on car drivers turn the bloody things offffffffffffffff. and remember the high way code, code 114 and 226 ,

i dont think its just a motorway problem i live in a small village just outside scarborough and it amazing how many divvys put there fog lights on on country lanes at night

Incorrect use of fog lights, or not indicating on roundabouts, which is worse?

The driving test is supposed to be harder than ever to pass, but damn, the quality of driving is just getting worse and worse.

not indicating easily, if someone has their fog lights on my 180w rally grade full beams tend to get the message across fairly (unless its MOT day)

But it's an extra 5bhp per illuminated fog light don't ya know?? ;)

But seriously this annoys me too

I'm more concerned by oldies travelling everywhere at 15-20mph though

These are causes of accidents waiting to happen

i spent a week faffing around trying to get the front lights of on my new gas van only to be told they are "driving lights" now required on new vehicles...

i find they intimidate some drivers and there is nothing i can do to get them off.

Indicating and people who put there front fog lights on in the day or night when they are not needed :( . Wish the old bill would actually stop them a bit more but hey ho its easier for them to nick speeders lol.

The front fog lights don't bother me that much its the rear ones that do especially at night. It makes it a lot harder to determine when someones braking or not.

Go drive around Paris in your own car, it makes our citys seem like villages.

I stopped letting it get to me a few years ago and just drive now.

Life is too short to worry about this sort of thing. I can see why it causes confusion with brake lights, but it isn't a massive issue really.

Bad driving annoys me if it slows me down or is clearly dangerous, but inappropriate use of fog lights doesn't really fall into either category.

Those Audi "driving lights" .. every time I see them I think "eyelashes". Who looks at those and things "I must have those!"?!

[Andy from Sandy]

The twats who indicate right on a roundabout and continue to do so as they leave the roundabout causing everyone to stop as they think the twat may still be going round. Now that is annoying.

I'm an oldie (65), don't drive around at 15-20mph and am more concerned about the selfish young idiots who have no consideration for other road users, seem to think that speed limits don't apply to them and appear to have a mobile permanently glued to their ear.

These are the idiots who ought to have the book thrown at them

driving in Italy is best. Straddle 2 lanes down the motorway, undercut, drive up the verge, cut across at the last moment, traffic signs and lights are only a suggestion, etc etc. all normal and regular driving behaviour over therelol I'm getting some bad habbits.
But I agree with the wrong indicator on roundabout gripe. Also hate fog light faggots and middle lane loiters

I'm not saying all (oldies) are like it but you know the ones I mean, the ones who think their car will tip over if they go 5-10mph faster around a corner
