a few wks ago i was travelling through ormskirk, an audi muppet overtook me in a 30mph zone, and shot off into the distance, about 10 minutes later on i was coming upto croston, only to find the same one smashed straight into the side of an artic wagon! wagon was turning right, so was this audi but must have bin going that quick as the skid marks started pretty early, then could'nt turn quick enough and went straight into, well sideways under the wagon! felt like stopping, going upto to car and giving him a slap! when i see any audi's, i always expect the complete unexpected by them lol

I've got an audi and confirm that it is in the manual that "you must drive like a bell end at all times"
I've undertaken a one man mission to change the perception of audi drivers everywhere, I'm giving way, using my mirrors and indicators, even taking it nice n steady now and again... There's only one problem; it really is amazing to drive fast ![]()

I treat ALL cars like they are a Ton of metal out to squash me flat , I don`t pick a brand .......... and I don`t pick a driver , and yes , even after yakking with Paul the 6th today on the blower , I did admit that Audi drivers have replaced BMW drivers in the arrogance stakes . I steadfastly refuse to say ALL drivers of Vehicles like that are muppets , in my experience if one tears up behind me on the local A roads then I just let them go on their merry way . Today I had somebody hassle the crap out of me in a 30 Zone , Sundays are Zero Tolerance days around here with bikes and I was NOT going to budge or give any Quarter to this imbecile , I did not slow down or speed up . I could see he was miffed but in reality he soon backed off when he realised I was adhering to the law and it was him that was at fault . Some drivers tend to have a word with themselves in that situation , some will lose their rag and hoof it past you , you just make sure you are safe and look after number one and keep away as best you can from these Brain Donors .

I feel like this is probably going to change to 'whats the worst bit of driving youve seen' so I feel I should make a start!
On my prep lessons for my full bike test I was following an instructor and another learner who was currently leading. We were cruising along a 30mph dual carriageway in the left hand lane. Im on a crummy yamaha ybr125 which seemed well built but just had no pop. So we're going along and I notice a land rover sport alongside me literally come level with me and then cruise next to me. At the time I remember thinking 'you flash bu**er' when all of a sudden as I am eyeing up some of the bodywork I notice the indicator start flashing at me and i'm thinking I am not moving for this guy and maintain a constant speed (if he wants to get in my lane he can find a space. Next thing i know the big heavy land rover starts to be getting closer and is merging into my lane AT ME! So in true 125 comedy style, I shifted down a gear and swung my arm straight down to full throttle baby! I made it through in so little space that I nearly rear end the instructor! So over the radio I hear him order us to pull over and he asks me what I think I was doing! So I explain and he laughs! Then takes the opportunity to explain bikers have to be 10 times as alert as car drivers and treat them like they are out to get us! So since that day I always take joy in seeing these stupid mistakes unfold and then following, beeping and swearing at the drivers in question. BUUUUT in response to the OP I would specifically say Ford drivers. Specifically Fiestas because they are the cheap starter cars these chav boy racers get first off so at that point they dont even have enough experience to even think about these manoeuvres without endangering someone! |

(obviously minus orgers who own these)
Worst driven car on the road is the Ford Ka. Second worst is the Land Rover Freelander. Third worst is either Audi A3 or 206 (one carved me up quite nicely just this morning) |
