I had the absolute torture of taking a driving lesson today, I was mortified to see a nissan micra pull up with a **** off sign on the top that said bumpers 1 2 3 on it!

Anyway im going down the A2 doing 49.9 mph and my lane turns into local traffic so 'the law says' I must move into the middle lane. As I do this ***** in a 1.2 corsa (about 35 - 40) the outside lane going much faster than me pulls into the middle lane aswell, unable to accelerate over 50mph he had to brake hard and then proceeded to drive up my **** making signs at me to 'look where im going'.

Then he goes back into the fast lane starts driving alongside me at 50, again pointing to his eyes and then pointing to me over and over again in a really flipped out way. Oh you dont understand how that felt!

Pure agony.

Sounds like a 'Barclays Banker' to me.

Ignore and move on.

If it means that much to him (her), how interesting can their life be?!

Remember, car drivers know nothing and have no consideration for anyone but themselves.

Just remembre that most cagers can't see past the end of their bonnet...

I realised this morning why filtering is such a nightmare. The cagers car stops. Hence they get bored and the world stops existing for them. :x

Noticed this this morning when some idiot was blocking me ignoring me flashing my light. As I got past (eventually) I saw he was looking at his center console picking his nose. Happy times for him...

surely this is another water-tight arguement to allow people to carry guns, to wake dozy drivers, and put the chavers out of their misery. I am being rational aren't I? :? :wink:

This habit has always amazed and revolted me, do they think that no-one can see them through the glass.

My former boss (now retired) used to have a good old dig in meetings. He would then roll the resulting package into a little ball, finally wiping his fingers in his chair. We threw the chair out after he left. Urgh!

Opportunity missed- it's not your car and you're a learner, you should've rammed him :twisted:

Get use to it. Traffic on the A40 yesterday morning, Guy in the fast lane! (solid traffic) almost in the middle lane reading the paper on the steering wheel. Creapt up next to him. Look right at him and hit the rev limiter. I've never seen anyone jump so much!

I used to do that coming out of London on the A3 to all the numpties on their phones (especially in the summer when they had their windows open) - 9500 revs of Renegade's finest in their earoles - works every time :lol:

Mattsv and Sudoxe: :lol: :lol: :lol: Brilliant! if only there were more like you on the road!

Caines: Don't worry, as you gain experience, you learn how do deal with idiots like the corsa-driver, usually doing something to enrage them even further (that's what I do) then when they die of a heart-atttack or stroke they've only got themselves to blame

:lol: :twisted:

My former boss used to mine his earwax with his pen, withdraw it and inspect it, and then roll it into a ball and drop it on the floor.

Firstly I should change your driving instructor!

You will learn that car drivers cannot drive very well and they are all very selfish. or stupid or sometimes both

On a bike you need eyes up your bum, the same as I do when I am driving a 44 tonne truck.

You have to learn to adjust, and you have to think for other drivers stupidity too!

While mining earwax with a pen, inspecting it and then dropping it on the floor! Its a damn sight harder trying to put it back in your ears :P

Pet hate ...

Nissan Micra drives are total toss-pots. Every one of them deserves to be banned from the road. Morons the lot of them.

Any particular reasons for your "theory"?

Yes. They can't drive.

That could be said for many types of cars...... (technically it's the driver). Certain cars attract bad drivers.

However, I've never seen a bad Micra. Add to this I'm considering a Micra as my next car. :!:

(Round this area I've noticed that Ford Focuses seem to attract "bad" drivers)

WHAT!!!!! :shock:

Nissan Micra drivers do attract morons. It's a morons car. Clarkson knows best and I agree with him. He also correctly identified 316 drivers as morons.

Is there tongue-in-cheekness happening? Clarkson knows best? Suppose he's right that all bikers are ******s too? :)

My Mum and Sister both drive Micra's my mum altho a bit slow is a very safe driver....

My sister however is a nutter, broke her gearbox within 3 months on a brand new car !!

:roll:


so i partially agree on micra drivers but only cos the vast majority are female and/or elderly

I think it's a well thought out car... Cheap, hard to break, easy to fix, cheap to run, low powered, small and easy to park.

But unfortunately that makes it really appeal to the incompetent- it's tiny so it's easy to park, and when you do crash into something while trying to park - as you do all the time- it it's cheap to repair... And it's so low powered that you can drive it really badly and it won't bite you. When you do inevitably write it off you can buy another one for a pound...

On a brand new car?! How on earth did she manage that? Even if you were as abusive as possible on the gearstick, I can't imagine breaking the gearbox. :shock:

AndrewCharnley: 316? Sorry for my ignorance here, but is that a Peugeot? If so, I totally agree.

noooooo. a BMW! :)

****** 316 drivers think they deserve a non-common car - something with a badge that states middle class; so they buy the only BMW they can afford and drive it like they rule the road.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh I agree sooooooooo much there, in fact I have been saying to people for ages exactly what you have just said!

BMWs are sooooo common (in numbers that is - not quality) but people buy them because they think they are buying something "exclusive" and special, but they are not exclusive because there's so many of them on the roads and the old ones are worth no more than any other make of the same age! (I will admit some of the new ones look very nice and "executive" but I still wouldn't buy one even if I had the money because I feel that there is a stigma beginning to attach itself to BMs now)

they're good cars though, is the thing... As long as you don't cover it in cheap fibreglass and big rims from Halfords, keep it tasteful and near-stock, they're fine. And don't buy a faded red one!

TrojanHorse11

Oh yes - buy a "newish" good-looking one, keep it standard and voila! a good car. :)

or

buy one, tart it up, ruin it's natural looks and make it look tacky and bad taste. Voila! an embarrasment :oops:
