So often I see people take the outside lane and stay there past 2 exits on a 4 exit roundabout. How stupid are these people!?
Also people who park yards from a junction prevent people from seeing the road onto which they are joining. Or people who hog the middle lane. Or people who 'challenge' racing from behind where there are two lanes merging into one so they can beat you to the punch.

You gotta love 'em eh? And all this goes on with kids around, old people, the disabled, pedestrians, cyclists....driving standards are poor even in those who should be expert (bus drivers, taxis). I also love the ones that block yellow boxes. With all this going on, is it any wonder that cyclists ride defensively and want to keep out of the way?
That said, those that cycle without lights....madness.
