I don't get on with drivers who don't see motorbikes!
You really should try it sometime, when riding a motorbike some car drivers are out to kill you but they don't realise it. It is often said that drivers should spend a period of time on a motorbike so they can gain some appreciation and make them a better car driver in the process.
I think my driving is safe, I have been driving for nearly 30 years and only one minor dent put on my car during the first few months of driving. I took my direct access motorbike test about 4 years ago, I believe it has improved my car driving because you learn to be a lot more aware of your surroundings and the dangers when riding a motorbike.

I hate drivers that are unable to join correctly from a slip road, some of them seem to lack any observational skills and expect everyone else to adjust their speed or move lanes to accommodate them.
I am looking for a suitable gap as soon as I'm on the slip road and adjust my speed so that I am able to join traffic safely and not cause anyone to brake or change lanes. The A48 going into Cardiff is an example where people not doing this causes others to swerve or brake, this causes accidents.
