Which kind of drivers do you think pose most risk to others?

[AB Editor]

We all know that the open road can be a joy to drive - yet the key component of this statement is "open". When faced with everyone we have to share the nation's roads with we may feel differently about "the joy of driving". Some are rude and others are quite frankly dangerous. With this in mind, which driver "type" do you think poses the most risk to others?

I don't see what is so dangerous about having up to date knowledge of the highway code and just having come out of tuition. I often have to sit behind old drivers going 30 on a dual carriageway - they along with lorry drivers and 4x4 drivers pose the highest risk.

I picked young drivers, but I would say the stereotype of asian women as well. Yesterday I was pootling along and there were two kids on their bikes on the other side of the road and there was a car coming up behind them. I was just coming up to go past them and thought she was going to wait behind the kids on bikes, but no she suddenly swerved out round them sending me up the kerb, the bit that most annoyed me is that she didn't look at me she was just glaring out her window at the kids. She was an old chinese lady by the way.
I also hate drivers that can't pick a lane or purposely go in a lane with a shorter queue and then suddenly swerve back across just so they can get ahead.
Also superficial blond *** girls driving a car their daddy obviously bought them thinking they own the road while texting or applying make up.
