Choosing to speed can be one of the stupidest choices drivers make. People driving on the roads speeding constantly and a ‘boy racer’ culture has meant the problem has increased over the last few years. It is a proven fact that the time difference of a journey taken obeying the speed limit compared to one breaking the speed limit is not only safer but it also only means arriving a minute or two later- so there really is no point to speeding.

Overtaking in the wrong manner is another dangerous act. People that overtake and then find themselves needing to squeeze themselves into a small gap between cars are not only putting their own safety at risk but also that of other road users.

Other common and annoying habits on the road include not dipping your headlights at the right time- or worse of all not dipping them at all. This can dazzle oncoming drivers and cause accidents.

Using your fog lights when weather conditions do not require them is against the law, on average fog lights are ten times brighter than normal rear driving lights and can render your brake lights invisible and useless.

A common problem in driving is tailgating, this involves driving stupidly close to the car in front of you. Doing this may cause problems and not only intimidate the driver but possibly cause an accident.

Hogging the lanes in the middle of motorways is another pet peeve most drivers hate. The rules of the roads is to stick to the left hand lane unless you are overtaking.

Flitting from lane to lane in slow moving traffic is very irritating to other drivers as well as being a pointless exercise in itself. Traffic is annoying but even so it is best to avoid behaviour like this.

A dangerous act that road users often undertake is the intimidating of pedestrians and cyclists, it is important to be fair to others around you whether they are road users or not.

If you commit a driving offence you will need to contact an experienced driving offence solicitor.
