You know what really grinds my gears.
I’ll tell you.
Cars that to do 35-40mph on a motorway.
Cars that seems to do about 48mph on a motorway and speed up to about 58mph when they see your trying to overtake them only to slow down again after a few minutes.
Delivering to a supermarket on a high street. Parking patiently waiting for a spot only for a car driver to go straight in the gap as your waiting. When your ask them to move they say they have no where else to park.
When you require two lanes to take a roundabout or a tight turn and some car driver thinks he can squeeze into the lane that you are occupying half of.
Driving in London and cyclists holding onto your truck so to gain speed. (Have had at points one cyclist on each side hanging on lol).
The usual elephant racing nonsense of truckers trying overtake each other on downhill segments of road only to switch it up when its an uphill segment. (I’ve seen two truckers over take each other half a dozen times on the A23 before.
All this talk about fuel shortages and HGV shortages on all the radio stations non stop. I’m done hearing about it.
Feel free to share yours.
I have loads more but cant think of any atm.
What I hate. Your going along a road see a speed camera and all the cars slow down to 30.
Despite there being a road sign indicating 40mph. 50mph etc
Why they all slow down to 30 when there not even breaking the speed limit in the 1st place. Then once past camera the speed back.up to the speed limit.
Going through the Dartford tunnel at 2:30am and hardly ever being able to do it at a consistent 50mph. I always seem to have a car doing 30-35 in front of me. I wouldn’t mind here and there, but it’s almost every time. Same goes for 50mph roadworks down to one lane at night. I always seem to have a Yaris in front of me doing 40mph tops. Even worse when they’ve nearly killed themselves to get in front of me at the cones, then slow down to 40. I can’t stand traipsing through 7 miles of cones at that speed in the early hours.

The variation on the speed matching thing they’ll match your speed at an entry slip road to deliberately create conflict I’ve seen them literally brake to a crawl in lane 1 when trying to enter behind them, to cause aggro.
The only conclusion is that it’s mostly crash for cash scammers trying to stage a side swipe collision.
Another variation is braking for no reason after letting them pass before a lane change behind them.Again probably 80-90% of them are scammers trying to stage a rear end shunt.
The really laughable thing is that it’s all now so predictable.

All our vehicles have 360 degree CCTV cameras as we are often accused of knocking mirrors off cars and side swiping them in narrow streets, all wagons should have at least a front facing camera to stop these scammers.
I am not in favour of driver facing cameras.
Bin Man:
The first picture is obviously a bell end, parked on the pavement, to close to the corner.
However, the second one, is difficult to judge. He’s in the car, and looking down, so I hazard he’d only briefly stopped to check a delivery note/address, or his phone. If that’s a corner, he’s stopped in a bad place, but it could be a bus stop, a lay by, drop off bay, even a loading bay, The building (signage) indicates some sort of municipal building. He’s got what looks like a delivery/tradesman notice in his window, so not exactly joe public abandoning their vehicle in a stupid place.
