The Nissan Micra

[STRAMASHER]

Do you need to be retarded to drive on of these? Specifically the new shape ones. The dolts do not know how to switch on their dipped beams instead of their sidelights. Watch out for these stealthy, camoflagey bastids.

They seem to hate two wheelers too. I was sat behind two cars this morning at a junction. Mountain bike man rolls down the road with what looks like a mobile disco going and all the fluro gear on and one of the Micra maniacs just pulled out right on to him. Guy rag dolled in the air and landed in the middle of the road. Micra drives off until the pangs of guilt are too much and stops further down the road. Just as well as they turn out to be both colleagues.

I think if I had to cycle again I would be doing it in bike kit!

So please watch out for these Micra goons they seem to be wanting to take over the Volvo/Honda Accord "I drive in my little own world" crown.

Look out for the new breed Honda Jazz or Suzuki Splash lot, as they'll all have taken advantage of the scapage scheme to upgrade their Micra's

I think it must be something wrong with today in general, firstly almost every cage i caught up to today seemed insistent on just sitting in the overtaking lane totally oblivious to the fact i was behind them & there was nothing in front of them or in the left lane , then to top it all off i was following a mitsubishi evo while passing a que of slower cages/lorries, got right up beside a woman in a VW Golf & she decides to pull out into the overtaking lane, i couldn't believe how blind some people could be .

Got caught behind 3 seperate Corsa drivers today, same shape and driving skills as the Micra brigade.

I encountered one on the M61 the other night, pulling off the hard shoulder into lane 1 at about 20mph.

I just treat all car drivers like they're trying to kill me these days, though I agree a good proportion of them are Micra drivers. It used to be Rover 200 drivers round here, so I think they must have all traded them in for Micras under the scrappage scheme like maviczap said...

clitroen saxos too.

My mrs has one and anyone listening on the peaks ride will know what I'm on about.
She took a few years off VT's life too when she decided not to take my advice and get in a car with her.

I think its small car syndrome.

First car ever to pull out on me on a motorbike and cause an off... nuff said.

Its small cars....thats why I got bigger one as well as the other reason

Theres always the other thing of people with big cars are just trying to over compensate...

Sorry, couldn't happen. To upgrade under the scrapage scheme the car needs to be 10 years old and have been owned by you for a year, it's never going to happen to a Micra on either count...
