Thanks Countess
Some of those are precious.
Here in Ireland, we have another variety, the ones who hold up the overtaking lane at 50-65 mph. Their logic concludes you would have to drive faster than the national limit of 70 to get past them, so why should they pull over?
To compensate for these guys[ yes, nearly all men] we have the undertakers, the ones who go into the inner lane to pass, only of course after a full second and a half of delay has happened.
You have seen cars for sale with an "unused spare"? We have those, but many many more with an unused indicator switch. It is quite common to click on the indicator with the turn of the wheel. Any sooner, they will all guess what you are about to do, or maybe pull out of a junction or driveway, and add to the congestion.
We have many other types. One of the worst would be the BMW [usually] or Mercedes [sometimes] driver who feels it is his right to occupy the outer lane on a motorway or dual carriageway because it is the "fast" lane and he is driving a "fast" car. Yes, "he" implies men again, usually older business men who understand there is no point in being arrogant if you don't show it.
I once had to undertake the above type who was in a BMW 5 series, turned off three miles ahead, and he was still cruising down the empty motorway in the "fast" lane as I crossed the flyover.
