Motoring "offences" you'd like people to hang for

My son pbutted his test first time after 28 lessons. He puchased his first car, a Vauxhall Corsa, 2 days ago. He...

There are quite a few "bad indicating" at roundabouts that I'd like to see people done for.

1: people who don't signal their intentions of left or right turn until they are on the roundabout... If i'm going left or right, I will be indicating such before I reach the line to enter the roundabout. I see plenty of drivers who end up turning right at roundabouts, but don't indicate right until they've pbutted the first exit.

2: people taking an exit, but indicate left for the intended exit before they've gone past the previous exit, making you think they're leaving at that one instead.

3: A confusing one, at one roundabout, to go straight ahead i've seen people indicate left, and other people indicate right before entering the roundabout, but not take the "left" or "right" exits,

4: people taking first (left) exit of roundabout, and not indicating they are doing so.

5 Those drivers who blatantly ignore road signs and road markings stating which lane they need up to and around the roundabout for their exit and blatantly ignore it. eg people taking the left lane (marked left turn only) but going straight on, or taking the "straight ahead" lane and using it to go right.

As others have mentioned, I'd add drivers religiously sticking to lanes 2, 3, (or where available) 4 of a motorway when lane 1 is perfectly clear (and not marked as an "off" lane for the next junction).

also... a few different categories of drivers joining motorways 1: those who as soon as they get into Lane 1, immediately move into Lane 2 regardless of whats in it, and what avoiding action they must take to stop running into the back of them.

2: Similar to above, but those joining where the on-slip becomes lane 1, and therefore aren't going to run out of slip-road, but still feel they need to move into lane 2 (or higher) as soon as they can see it.

Was wondering if anyone has run into this
do I've just remembered an an incident many years ago. Very light traffic on a three lane DC and an small elderly recovery vehicle (the type with...

Arrogant drivers who come up behind you on the motorway in lane 3 when you are over taking slower cars, but because they think you've slowed them up for "too long" decide to "brake test" you when you get past, then speed off at over 100 miles per hour.

Finally I'll add BMW drivers, as they seem to think they own the roads and have priority over all other motorists.
