To be honest, the first.

Also hate it when there are 5 lanes and people don't "Keep Left, Pass Right"

2) Someone going 110 in a 60 zone.

People have become so impatient these days.

+1 - This

I once had a guy trying to kill me on the West Coast road. He was only doing 100 (it's a 120 zone) and when I went to overtake him he sped up. I didn't have a big enough gap so I had to slow down to come back in behind him. He then slowed all the way down to 90 and when I went to overtake him again, he did the same thing. I finally passed him doing over 180!
I just don't understand why someone would do this. It was the stupidest thing ever.

50 in a 60 zone especially when I am late. I use to be part of the #2 group but since the law became stricter with regards to speed I stay within 30 km/h over the speed limit. Not interested in getting post summoning me straight to court or knocking a pedestrian right into their grave.

When you are doing ~80 in a 70 zone and the people doing 120 think they own the lane.

A minor irritation but I am a patient myself. 60 zones are usually around residential and a lot of stop streets, traffic lights etc... anyway. Any slower becomes blatant though.

2) Someone going 110 in a 60 zone.

I would want to rip this person's throat out.

If they are doing it in the left most lane then no problem..

Just because you are late does not mean everyone else has to make way for you.

50 in a 60 zone tends to irritate me because invariably I get stuck behind them.

110 in a 60 zone isn't likely to irritate me because it's not going to delay me or anything, most likely that person will just get stuck behind me. I may think they're idiots (honestly it depends on the road, some semi-abandoned country roads limited to 60 are perfectly safe to be rolling down at ~100) but that doesn't mean it's irritating.

The maximum speed limit is not a target, so 110 in a 60 zone is more irritating.

2) Someone going 110 in a 60 zone.
1. Someone doing 50 in a 60 zone. Here's why;

A pr*ck doing 110 in a 60 zone zooms past you in a second or two. Yes he is an idiot and a danger on the road, but he is only an irritation to you for the short duration that he zooms past.

A slow fart doing 50 or so in front of you sits at that speed for for ages, and it end up grating your tits for ages if you can't pass.
