Default Idiots drive which make of car most?

For me it has to be BMW drivers.

In stationary traffic other cars moved left to allow room for me to filter, A BMW moved right blocking me and forcing me to cross double white lines, Another didn't give way to his right on the roundabout (he weren't looking). he only managed to stop when his car entered the roundabout. I've lost count of the number of times BMW's force their way into my lane (in my car as well).

What's your's so certain cars can be avoided like the plague?

For me BMW's are probably the worst, but any sort of woman in a People carrier (with 1 kid in it... what's all that about). No offense to women drivers as i am one (well i would be if i could drive and had a car ) but they're pretty bad.

Had a woman in a BMW try to pull across the road infront of me when i was turning left (for her she was turning into the same road right, from the opposite direction) and tried to keep going. I should have let her go but the stubborn bit of me thought why should i and reved the bike (scorpion can doing what it should ), got in front of her .

All jokes aside I don't think it's the car. I know some really nice people that become total knobheads the minute they get behind the wheel. It's that whole world of my own thing that causes road rage and other unpleasantness.
I gice everybody enough room to make their own mistakes without killing me in the process.

Hey, a good chance to generalise. Well, I think the A13 can be divided like this

All Rovers - owners too old to see the mirror
Ford KA - 19 year old girl talking on the phone and they seem to always think they are such a wide car they have to drive on the white lines
Chavmobiles - obvious
4x4's as they don't look where they are going as they don't think they have to and always on the phone - many rushing mothers too
Volvo's - see Rover (or unmarked police cars)
Mini's - new shape - generally richer version of KA hence more phone calls
Mercs - sit in fast lane for no apparent reason - usually hubby's car
Old Cavaliers/Vectra's/Sierra's - unhappy with life and will not care to annoy you/cut you up
White van man - usually does see you but balancing a pint of Benji's coffee with a bacon sandwich is difficult so may drift, also on the phone to the guv'nor

Getting a bit out of date now but I reckon there is still a special class of driver and that is the Volvo one.These tend to be slightly older middle class sensible types who just can't drive.They operate the car while in a world of their own and just expect everyone else to keep out of their way as they are far too important to consider other road users.Fully paid up members of the "me first"class and there are still loads of them around my neck of the woods.
