Where I live, any 80's-90's Japanese van really. The list doesn't stop with the Nissan Vanette. You have the Toyota LiteAce and the Mitsubishi L300/Delica as well. They're slow, hog the left lane and usually take up 2 lanes while chugging along at 40...kilometers per hour. So,what is it in your country?

Not only the car, but the driver has a big role here.

Toyota Corolla with old male driving.

Utility trucks

- They are so wide you can't see around them in case you need to do something to avoid an incident up ahead (move over for a cop, hit the brakes early if the truck driver isn't paying attention).

- If you hit one you are pretty much guaranteed to crumple your car like paper (probably)

- They have to drive the speed limit (which no one else does)

Jaguar S-Type. It's not that they're slow, but on the contrary, normally are being driven fast enough that you can just drop in behind and let them be your bunny for the next few dozen miles. The problem is that then you're stuck looking at the damn thing for mile after mile.

Eugh.

Landscaping/gravel trucks without their load covered. Crap just flies out of them and peppers you. Can't see around them either so it's difficult to pass...and you never know when they're going to randomly stop because their work site could just be any random point on the side of the road.

Any Mercedes that isn't a van. They're almost universally driven by old people who probably shouldn't have driving licences any more.

Priuses are especially vexing because they're pretty quick from a stop, so when you're behind them you get the impression they're going to get up to a decent speed. But no.

Basically any car with some form of "don't tailgate me" bumper sticker — you know they bought the sticker because they're constantly being tailgated because they drive 10 mph under the speed limit.

And the vans, like all panel vans, are driven by insane contractors intent on ramming you at 30 km/h over the speed limit.

It kills me when I see old Cadillacs driven by old folks. I know it's a boat, but don't you know you have a V8 in there?? Do you know what I would do to your grandchildren for a V8??

If you feel bad for the Cadillacs, how about all AMGs driven by soccer moms?

All that power and potential wasted...Makes me want to cry.

Yeah, don't understand why anybody would go for a top-level performance model when they're never going to do anything remotely hoony.
