That being said, yeah they get annoying, but you know what, maybe its more about teaching yourself not to get annoyed about it. Things change and the increased numbers are more than likely here to stay. You're in for serious disappointment if you think the other party will sort themselves out. Better all round to just not let it affect you while you're on the road etc.
(Easier said than done but there you go!)
Other drivers are not annoying for simply exercising their right to be there, the same as all of us are exercising our rights when driving in the country, and ourselves adding the amount of traffic on the roads. But what is annoying and frustrating is when drivers disregard the highway code's instruction to make proper progress for traffic conditions, and ignore road signs that say to allow overtaking and not impede traffic behind. I have sympathy for lorry drivers etc. who can't be stopping in every layby, but some leisure drivers never pull over.
They're only increasing and not going away? Maybe a good jet stream summer like 2007, with weeks of wash out deluges over the Highlands, Lakes and Snowdonia will send all the staycation boomers scurrying for their passports again.
Those of us who really love the hills love them in all types of weather! Which I'm sure would in your VW camper if you got one, David, nothing wrong with that!
