This is a generalisation, but having just returned from an 800mile round trip to Scotland this week, I saw some truly shocking drivers on the road.

So, I thought it would be interesting to have an informal 'poll' of who you each think are the worst 3. Here are mine:

1. BMW drivers for aggresiveness, speeding and tailgating
2. Audi drivers for the same
3. 4x4 drivers (mainly Range Rover) for driving like absolute nutters!

Exactly the same in this country..   ;D   I dont think its a coincidence

And plus dark colored huge size WW vans..

Funny you should say that. There's a black Transporter that I meet coming the other way every morning who gives no mercy whatsoever. I always just pull into a passing space when I see him. Total 'rsehole.

Hmm. Thinking about it, I'll be in a courtesy car tomorrow (not mine). Maybe I'll stand my ground.

It's them bl00dy sit on 4 wheeled motor scooters that do my head in, especially when they try to get underneath a set of ladders on the pavement....  They're usually driven by a 1 legged, 1 eyed 300 year old...  

There, rant over....

Diary of a BMW Driver

The other day I was cruising along as usual coming onto one of my motorways, which was very busy with inferior cars.

First off, I couldn't believe that the volume of traffic DIDN'T slow down for me AT ALL as I came off the slip road! I had to squeeze into a barely big enough gap between two cars in order to get onto my motorway! (The driver of the car behind me did realise his mistake though and honked an apology to me with a long blast of his horn.)

Unbelievably, I had tried to do the same again before I could get into the BMW lane. (Why do underlings use this lane? Surely everyone knows it is for BMW drivers only?)

Anyway, once I was in the BMW lane and posing along at 95mph enjoying the adulation that the inferior car drivers were giving me, I noticed an inferior car ahead of me which was not only in the BMW lane of my motorway, but was only driving at a ridiculous 70mph!

Naturally, I got to within a foot or so from his rear bumper and flashed my headlights to remind him he shouldn't be in the BMW lane of my motorway and to get out of my way.

Of course, once he realised it was a BMW behind him, he did just that, but I could hardly believe it when he pulled straight back out behind me! He also tried to keep up with me and when he realised I would out-run him, he put on some blue lights in his front grill to attract my attention and then urged me to get onto the hard shoulder so that he could congratulate me on my excellent car.

Needless to say, I was eager to oblige and when we had stopped, the man gave me a piece of paper confirming what I already knew - that my car goes fast!

Apparently he wants everyone to know what a superior car I have, so I had to take my driver's licence to a Police station to be sent away to have some points put on! (They're not free points either - they're £20 each and I was allowed 3! But the man at the Police station said that because I drive a BMW, it won't be much longer before I earn the full 12 points, and then I won't even NEED a driving licence, so they will take it off me!

See, now THAT's the sort of respect you get when you buy and drive a BMW!'
