The ones that get me are the ones that decidethey missed their turn so hold up all traffic to do a u turn in the intersection or 10m up the road.
I drive up to the next street and do a block if possible, or go further up the road and u turn

A large degree of the problem is that men are a lot more aggressive drivers than chicks so we're a lot more willing to take a risk.
I managed to "angle park" next to a lady the other day when I thought we were both going through the lights but she decided at the last minute we weren't!
Luckily I had room to fit beside her (joined by an impressive cloud of tyre smoke for effect!).
I don't consider it her fault necessarily, me being too aggressive, her being too cautious, it's just the way we are. Nobody can change it!

And that right there is the real issue. Each individual on the road ranks the risks of their tasks diferently depending on a number of factors, including age, intelligence, experience, education amongst others.

If it is possible to have everyone identify and rank the risks they face the same way, then every incident on the road would be a genuine accident and not caused by someone doing the wrong thing.
Unfortunatly, this is a theoritical target, that even the best organisations with all the money in the world are yet to achieve, let alone governements with limited funds and dealing with the public.

I can rant all day about this stuff, but thats not the point.
Everyone is different, and all you can do is drive defensivly and just take your time.

I cant stand 2 kind of drivers.

1. 4wd Mothers arguing and reaching out to their back seat while driving
(they could easily pull over and smack their vermon silly)

2. Old geezers packed in a car at peak traffic hours all over the road
(ban them on the street during peak traffic hours and Gov should give them
free viagra so they stay in bed longer instead of my local steam room)

My number one gripe is pricks that sit in the right lane on the freeway going slower than I am (which is not necessarily the speed limit admittedly).
They just sit side by side with another car and don't make any attempt to get around.
When I'm in the Q5 I sit right up their arse till they pull across.
Wrong I know but it pisses me off!
Everyone needs to drive on European roads to understand about pulling over. Over there, if you don't you get a Merc, Beemer, Audi coming up behind you at 200km an hour! And they get pissed if you don't move over!
