Drivers who think they have the right of way, just because they're on the road.
I was pulling out onto a main road this morning on the way to work. Two cars were approaching from the right, nothing from the left, and two girls were crossing the road behind me.
The second car approaching flipped his indicator on about 2 metres before the turn, then slammed on and proceeded to go nuts with his horn at the girls crossing, scaring the shit out of them.
If I wasn't late for work, I'd have turned round and stopped him, the inconsiderate twat.
I'm pretty sure that if it was roughly like below, the girls had right of way, under the Highway Code. Most drivers don't seem to know this, though.
EDIT - OH FFS. LET ME USE SPACES.
