Title: BMW drivers
Post by: pscocoa on 26 November 2015, 17:02:59
I was first in queue at lights in outer lane of two with other cars on inside of me on inside lane. BMW is "behind" me. The 2 lanes become one about 100 yards in front of me. I set off smartly and a small gap opens up and I am about to move into it and see BMW nipping into inner lane to undertake me. Thankfully I was able to keep my nose in front to block him - he went absolutely ape as I then kept him there in the single track until I turned off.....Enjoyed that.

I must admit, I am starting to get a perverse pleasure from this. Not just beemers, but white van man, girlies in corsas and, of course, audi man.

They not only tailgate, but put their lights on as if to say "I'm here you know, hurry up".

Piss off.  ;D

Apparently the world will stop turning if any of the above have to wait in line with the rest of us.

Happened a while back, if we rememer our highway code, you give way to traffic coming from the right, and traffic on a roundabout has priority. There was a woman in an Audi S4, I was on the roundabout.

I'll let you fill in the gaps.  ;)

Had a chuckle to myself last weekend coming back from Durdle door, sunday evening, long stream of traffic (circa 20 cars) behind a slower moving coach through the country lanes of Dorset.  In order to improve efficiency I am allowing en evelope between me and the car in front so as to buffer the speed ups and the slow downs you invariably get in such a situation.  Mr 4x4 Braincells behind me decides that he had had enough tailgating and will overtake me on a straight patch.  I thought for a split second about using the loud pedal to make it more "interesting" for him but thought better (The 2.5 Estate I picked up from Kate can really shift)

Idiot.

Pointless.

Plus as we get to Ringwood he opts to stay left of 2 lanes at a roundabout not knowing that the right hand lane becomes 2 of which one can be used to turn left.  I waved as I went past and gave it the beans on to the dual carriageway.  Didn't see him again until I pulled off the M3 and he went past ;D

Then again, I do have to admit to overtaking an old lady in a micra recently. I was in a Nissan Navara with a 10m long glider trailer behind it. :o It was still a very easy overtake, mind, and I knew that was the last opportunity for about 50 miles. ::)

 :y Oh that. I try and leave nice buffer gap, as you say so often, to be thanked by being tailgated (again, always by BMWs, female estate agents in Minis etc) thing is, I use cruise control practically all the time, and you notice massively how much people accelerate and decelerate constantly. 'Yes, there's a 50ft gap between me and the car in front, now, but you know what? In 100 yards it'll be down to 10ft, and then it'll increase again. there's really no point - Mr BMW - in me speeding up by 4mph, for 98 yards. We're in a single lane queue of traffic, do you get that? So we're all going to get to where we're going in exactly the same amount of time, whether we're 2 inch or 20 ft off each other.  After my naughty course it has to be said that I plodded merrily abiding by the legal limits, to be overtaken aggressively by a guy in a white Audi - be must've been doing 100 in a 50 by the time he left the horizon. 15 mins later I'd caught up with him, without exceeding the limit once. And there we stayed for half an hour, got him nowhere..   :y

Last night a BMW driver went through lights on red and hit the Qashqai driven by my son's mother in law. Spun Qashqai round and it will probably be a write off. Qashqai driver and passenger in bmw taken to hospital but discharged after tests. Police advised that bmw driver at fault and witnesses saying bmw just "took off". Could have been a lot worse.

This is very true for lease, fixed term finance with exchange at the end etc. You get an authentication certificate when the job is completed, which is logged and stays with the vehicles history.  :y

Of course, if you own it outright or you have financed it to own outright, you can take it to whoever you like.  :y

I had some prat in a gay coloured chavved up Focus fancy his chances where 2 lanes merge to 1, right by the sign that says "Merge in turn". Which clearly he felt didn't apply to him.

However, he was less willing to sacrifice his gay shitbox than I was, so had no choice but to yield, which seemed to get him very agitated. But as he lacked the speed and ability, I'm not sure how long it took him to calm down.

On the way back from Goodwood yesterday I had a young woman in a first generation Megane convertible trying to climb into the boot of my car while she chatted away on her mobile phone. She was very agitated when I dared slow down to 30mph for a 30mph limit village  ::) ... so I did 20, instead.  ;D

Oddly enough she couldn't keep up with a 4.4L V8 when we exited the 30 limit..

A guy in a giant Mitsubishi was doing the same to me this morning, on a well-lit single carriageway. I was doing about 38 in a 30 but he wanted to go faster. Silly bastid kept dropping back and then coming up fast behind me. About a mile down the road we hit the twisties and that was the last I saw of him.  :)

Don't forget to do the civilised thing, and slow down to allow other drivers out of side turnings and let pedestrians cross.

I must say when they see a dusty old Omega with a massively dented side, rusting bare steel, missing trim, and three types of alloy wheel, they are somewhat surprised when the old girl manages to beat them off the lights. Every time.  :) the 2.5s are underrated.  :y

There is one thing that puzzles me a  bit,and that is what time does the speed limit end and then restart again,only when I'm out at 05.30 Mon thru Fri, I regularly see drivers coming through a local village which is a 30 limit at an easy 50+ There seems to be some unwritten rule that in rural areas you can go balls out in the hours of darkness and not be challenged. My neighbour stacked his focus doing just that, and it was a good twenty minutes before someone saw him upside down in a field.Still drives like a teeewat  now ::) I spent twenty years of attending RTA's (not RTC's) ::) and never heard anyone admit to a bad judgement call on or off the record, and that sort of arrogant attitude has just been  passed down through the years to the present spoilt have it all right now brats who frequent our roads at present.In all honesty you can't beat them....just keep your finger close to the sport button and look for the odd opportunity to blast them into the weeds :y

Good point that..

Nearly had a head-on with someone doing well over 40mph down a 40mph limit single carriageway last night at ~10pm or so; it's a winding back-road between Six Fields in Northampton and one end of town.. three cars came up it at a rate of knots, one followed by two side by side.

Which meant one of them was on my side of the road doing many leptons.. I was briefly tempted to keep my foot in and see if he disappeared off into a field to avoid me.

I'm wondering which is the most 'inbred' county in England?

Norfolk because nobody can find their way out, or Yorkshire because they won't let anyone in. :)

That's more a matter of only Yorkshire natives are prepared to put up with each other. Especially on their own ground. It's a bit like France, but with harder cheese 8)

Yorkshire is a wonderful place. Ask any Yorkshireman.

I had a little TWIT in a BMW play games with me in my Monaro a few weeks back, I was driving along minding my business when I pulled up behind a bus there was a BMW waiting to come out a carpark, so I waved him out, he then decided that he would show his superiority to me by accelerating and braking  ::) so I let him play and he decided to keep doing this and then he overtook the 2 cars in front of him, I needed to pull into a petrol station to fill up and low and behold the BMW boy was there, I got out and preceded to  fill the Monaro when his girlfriend came out and got back into the car, he decided to then show me his superiority again by reving his car and spinning his one wheel off the forecourt, followed quickly by a big bang and a horrible knocking noise, he had ripped his propshaft  :o I of course shouted WA*%ER out loud. After I had paid I thought I would show him that he infact was not the superior person by turning off my Traction control and spun my rear wheels I looked in the mirror to see the smoke drifting over his much more superior BMW  8)
