There are also those who remember they are supposed to indicate but only do so AS they start to manoeuvre. So they haven't caught on to the principle of "signalling your intention".
My personal bugbears are: people who cut into to your sensible reaction space not, in my case as a biker, riding on the bumper of the car in front. Two seconds gap.
and car drivers who drive on their brakes so every few seconds a red light flashes without any apparent justification.
Also don't like cars who ride right on my back wheel. Not sensible, please tell your friends, as the power:weight ratio and gearing on motorbikes means they have very efficient engine braking, so we can slow quite quickly without any signal. Though I do tend to touch the rear brake if I think someone is too close.
