As the title suggests. What vehicle or drivers really wind you up on the roads and what is it they do that you dislike so much?

I've never seen a well-driven one yet. Arrogant, agressive people seem to drive them >:(
i would say the styling is more aggressive more so than the drivers themselves, as are most German cars
Also, and I hate to say this, mobility scooters. Around here there are several pensioners who go drinking in Wetherspoons all afternoon then cause chaos on the footpaths and roads when they decide to ride home. They don't need a licence or insurance and there is next to nothing the police can do with those who cause accidents.
Seem to think they can just pull out on you because they're in something a lot heavier and don't give a toss if other drivers have to brake to accomodate their idiotic manoeuvres.
As a driver it has to be cyclists
Can I vote twice for cyclists?:D
Haha, I was just about to say this. Everytime I see a car aggressively driving, it is usually an Audi.
As Audi wasn't a poll option, I chose cyclists. Living in Cambridge, a lot of cyclists are dangerous and have no regard for road rules. Makes me angry.
Well as a Universal Service Provider they do have an exemption from most parking restrictions written into almost all Traffic Regulation Orders (TRO's).
They're only a hazard if you make them a hazard.
They also seem to be a danger to themselves. I give most cyclists a very wide berth - but there's not a lot drivers can do about cyclists that wobble and weave around, wander in and out of traffic lanes and down either side of slower moving traffic.
But also boy racers who think it's really cool to have blacked out windows, lowered suspension and what sounds like a broken exhaust. Paired with the really loud shit music played.
In a league of their own. As a driver I don't have a problem with them but as a bus passenger I can't stand them. They either drive at a snail's pace, stop at every lamppost and sit doing paperwork while you're just too far from your stop to make it worth walking, or they drive like maniacs, throwing everyone around and making it impossible to get downstairs without severe bruising. Are they actually taught to drive like that?

You haven't come across me yet then. I am the polar opposite of arrogant and aggressive. I've been driving Audi's for 20 years and never been in an accident or had an altercation with another driver.:)
Bus drivers are also the rudest and most miserable people you will ever come across. Do you ever meet a friendly and cheerful one? However, maybe I'd be as grumpy as them if I had to drive a bus all day on busy roads and have to cope with the Great British Public.
I drove a black cab in London for almost thirty years.
I'm quite sure that I never ran anyone off the road, but in common with most black cab drivers I was no shrinking violet, still aren't.
When it was obviously MY turn, I went, and if anyone had the temerity to try to prevent me from taking my turn, it was their paintwork they risked.
Bus drivers are a whole different ball game.
A thankless task, undertaken by people seemingly of an average lower IQ than most.
A great deal of London bus drivers seem to have no idea of how to cancel their indicators, and consequently drive for miles with one or the other blinking away.
I was at a set of lights on Kingsway once, when I heard a bus driver shout at a van driver, "Didn't you see my indicators?"
He called back, "How was I to know that you were the one London bus driver who used them correctly?"
Just because I drive a small car doesn't mean you have a right to pull out in front of me, cut me up, tailgate me, park halfway in to my parking space, etc
Sorry - All !
