If I was to choose a group to generalise about it would be 4x4 drivers.

Every ride-out I get at least 1 pull out on me. They look right at you and pull out anyway

They (wrongly) think that because they have a big car they are safe, yet crash tests show they are far from the safest cars on the road.

I've noticed that most of the bikers I've told about my last off, caused by a SMIDSYing estate driver, respond "Bloody volvo drivers." Now, I'm not sure what sort of car it actually was, but it definately wasn't a Volvo- just that everyone assumes a badly driven estate will be one.

Oi, leave my Volvo out of this :P

It was very cheap, actually it was free, It has 50.000 miles on the clock and was registered in 1995 :P

And I just insured it again for £160

Driving a V40 and comutting a long distance each day (when using the bike) I have to say that Volvo drivers in Holland are some of the best...

German cars (be it Merc, Audi, VW, Porche - who always try to race me at the lights ) are the worsrt by far. Followed by anyone in a car smaller than an escort - they seem to leave bkes less room than artics!
