Driving can get pretty heated at times, and we’re all guilty of it.
We asked you about what the top unwritten rules about driving are.
You raised some good points including; drivers who block roundabouts and drivers not indicating.
It comes as the number of cars on the roads has jumped to 70 per cent of the pre-lockdown levels.
Nicola Lewis said: “I can’t stand it when people stop on roundabout when there is nothing coming, or those who don’t stay at a steady speed, speed up to 30mph, roll the car till they get to 25mph, then put their foot back on the pedal until they get back to 30mph again.”
Viv Wembridge said: “Drivers who block roundabouts, really wind me up.”
Laura Green said: “My unwritten rules include not sitting on grid lines so others can get out. And I also can’t stand road planners who don’t have a clue and spend millions on worsening traffic jams rather than tackling the real problem.”
Other top unwritten rules you spoke about include indicating, cutting up others drivers, driving slower than the speed limit.
Echo readers also talked about how they get road rage when other drivers put up their hands to say thank you as they pull out in front of other drivers.
Robert Watchorn said: “My unwritten rules would include signalling when coming round a roundabout, people who don’t do it drive me mad.”
Angela Belcham said: “I can’t stand it when people under take me and also when bikers weaving in and out of traffic when other drivers are going at speed limit.”
Mark Christmas said: “My pet hate is tailgaters.”
