Cars with a sign "Baby on board"

So what am I supposed to do about that?

I know, I'll ignore it and treat it just like any other car.

I can never understand if it's a proud mum boasting she has reproduced, or actually meant to have some form of road safety implication.

 
Vehicles that speed up on the motorway when you catch them up, even though you are travelling at a set speed & have been for the last 50 miles coz the cruise control is on, which then means you have to speed up/slow down to navigate past them.

Vehicles that slow down immediately they pull back into your lane 10 feet in front of you after overtaking you on a motorway, see also comments on cruise earlier.

Vehicles that drive in the middle lane(s) when the left hand lane is not a filter lane, is clear, driving conditions are good and they are travelling at a speed below the speed limit.

Surprising what a 500 mile road trip does for your tolerance or otherwise of other drivers!

 
People who accelerate up your Barrymore at the same time as you are pulling back into the middle lane to let them get past you as they have been flashing you
