This is a question Driven to Madness

Captain Placid asks: What annoying things do significant others, workmates and other people in general do that drive you up the wall? Do you want to kill your other half over their obsessive fridge magnet collection? Driven to distraction over your manager's continued use of Comic Sans (The Font of Champions)? Tell us.

Another driving issue
That lane at the traffic lights with a right hand turn arrow but with a temptingly much shorter queue of cars. It's for turning right you fuckheads.

People, stop letting them in and they'll stop doing it.

And on Tong Street in Bradford, they often cut in front of the queue of forward-headed traffic the exact moment the lights go green.

Tong high school junction is the worst
I usually carry on down the M62 onto the M606 just to avoid that whole area

The lights on that junction are knackered.
If you're coming up on the road from Birkenshaw, you'll sit at the red light for several minutes, then it'll go green for exactly the right length of time to let through 2 cars or half a wagon.

But the worst bit is between the dual carriageway and Tong school junction, and how inconsistent it is from day to day. Some days you'll breeze through, some days it's so solidly jammed it'll take an hour and half to go less than half a mile.

Happens at the lights at Frizinghall too...
Every lowlife in a Merc, BMW, or 12 year old Japanese hatch with a wide exhaust and CD in the windscreen tries it. I've even seen them fly down the outside when the straight on traffic is stationary, cross the stop line and pull in front of the first car.

I let no fucker in. I'm a master at tailgating the car in front whenever someone tries.

I prefer the box-em-in approach, whereby
fuckwit screams up behind you trying to get past. You sit side-by-side matching speed with another car. Observe person behind getting increasingly upset.
Bonus points for making them change lanes if you speed up/slow down only to end up side by side again with the other car.

Not always
Sometime the right hand lane is for straight on. And very often you can't tell until you are almost there, because they only put one set of arrows on the road. How hard would it be to show well in advance which lane is for where?
