We love cars, and we love to drive. But let's be honest, not everyone is good driver. Here are 4 common annoying habits of drivers that we all have observed on our roads.
-
Overtaking Lane
Constantly driving in the 1
st lane, i.e., rightmost lane in Pakistan. This happens a lot with slow drivers who without any sense of driving stick to the right lane. And if you ask for way, rarely would someone give way immediately instead most of them would look dead in the eye as if you’ve abused them.

High Beam Fanboys
Next up are those who are in deep love with high beams. I guess everyone is reading this can relate to that. Not just high beam people fancy their cars with so-called high wattage intense blue HIDs to burn a person going ahead or coming in the opposite lane.
-
Ill-mannered Parking
In Pakistan, a lot of people holding valid driving permits don’t know how to park. A common example is when a parking lot is designed for 90-degree parking and some illiterate (parha likha jahil) parks at a 45-degree position which straightforward pisses off people as it takes more space. See for yourself below.

Right of way on Roundabouts and Use of Indicators
The last one I can think of, although there may be more; Give way to the cars coming from the right is the rule. Instead what happens is that people believe that they have the right of way when entering a roundabout. Once in a blue moon, it also happens that some extreme innocent person coming from right side gives way. Along with this fuss, almost no cares to indicate on roundabouts which makes it quite difficult to pass through without the use of horn smoothly.
