When you come to a complete stop at a set of lights or junction they are so flipping close to your arse end like that extra foot is going to make all the difference to your journey.

Does anyone else notice this? Good old tyres and tarmac for me like i was taught.

It is annoying, not as annoying as when their that close to you when moving though.

My personal fave is those who continously edge forward to the car in front whilst the lights are still on red. Whats that acheiving? Stop, handbrake on and into neutral! Is it really that hard?

i love that traffic light grand prix...i must admit i hang back at certain set of lights and just gently creep an inch or so then they go over the line...i also know the light sequence so that helps amazing that most that have the clutch slightly lifted, so funny when you just lift it to the biting point they are still slower.

or the best is gently rolling they change speedy so and so has stopped and you just calmy sail on by because they have changed

... and in continuation, the ones who keep crawling through the red even, until they are totally past the white line!
