Default Annoyances

There are times when i'm driving when I find myself annoyed with other drivers. These are some of those annoyances that drive me to distraction

1 Drivers not indicating at roundabouts
2 Seeing the faces of drivers in their wing mirrors
3 Drivers hanging their arm out of the window on a hot day which reminds me of some gorilla!!
4 drivers who pick their nose at traffic lights
5 Seeing shirts/jackets hanging up at the back of the car
6 Those driving a 4 seater drop top, thats down, with no one else with them, its as though they are steering a barge.
7 Sunlight reflected off the back of the car in front
8 When driving behind a car you swear no one is driving it!! On passing you find its a little old lady or a midget
9 Those drivers who play crappy rap/country music with their windows down
10 Women drivers who are always staring at me at bus stops when I drive pass them in the crossfire

I could add more but its time for my medication

My #1 annoyance is people talking on their cell phones and not payng attention to driving.

Back in 1993 I put over 1,200 miles all through England, Scotland, and Wales. I found that the overwhelming majority of UK drivers were more able and more curtious than here in the US. Come over here and drive sometime and I think you will be glad to return home. At least you chaps don't have to put up with Trunk Monkeys over there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8avOiTUcD4Y

By the way I never heard any rap/country music yet. Is that a UK exclusive ? Kenny Chesney and his "Country Ganstas "

I always wondered why my Roadster had a glow in the dark boot release, I could never figure out who would be small enough to fit in there. Now I know, it is for the Trunk Monkey !!

Where do I get one ? Can I swap something British with a kind Crossfire owner in the US who wants to swap their unwanted Truck Monkey, they were never included in the options list in the UK
