BMW or Audi drivers....

[Paul77]

I'm one of those BMW drivers. I think the problem is that when you have 184 BHP to play with, you tend to use it more often than not getting away from sunday drivers. I try my best to stay away from folk on the roads. Less contact with other drivers and the less chance of an accident. Mostly on motorway right enough doing about 250 miles a week. Audi drivers are getting worst but most of them end up at the side of the motorway with a engine management light on because they like to redline it too much.

2.0Tdi Audi A3 drivers with it mapped are thee scourge of the roads.

You did well to rectify your first post:angry::ears:

I had a rare moment of clarity and realised it's not all of you :ears:


Maybe 20% of drivers of the aforementioned cars drive like idiots, but over 50% of the idiots drive those cars.

Clarkson has been saying this for ages. As an Audi driver I could not possibly comment.

Although I have defiantly noticed a difference in road users attitudes to me. I used to drive a Kia at exactly the same speed as I drive my Audi now, and on motorways no one would ever get out of the way of me in the Kia if they were pithering in the outside/middle lane overtaking no one, in fact many saw it as an insult to be overtaken by a Kia. Where as if they see the 4 rings of tosspotiness in their rear view mirror more definitely shift out of my way.

I think you get drivers of all sorts of vehicles who seem to drive 3 yards behind you even though you in in a stream of traffic and can't go any further.

Funny you should mention about drivers pulling out your way. I got a bmw 5 series last month and have noticed loads of people pull over out my way especially on the motorway even the middle lane at 70mph, I think people maybe think I'm an unmarked patrol car

I've got 316bhp to play with, but it doesn't mean I have to be inconsiderate.

It does, however, allow me to really annoy those that annoy me.

I'd have to agree that on average, Audi drivers seem to be the biggest perpetrators, and especially young lads in A3.
I was driving north on the last night in a 50mph zone that seems to dog the A1/M1 route, with average speed cameras, doing 50mph (actual on GPS) and still got flashed by some twonk in a A Class Merc. I had nowhere to go anyway and there was all of 50 yards of clear space in front of me so what he was thinking of I don't know. When I did have space to pull over he went past a sizzling 2mph faster than me. I got a really good laugh when we hit a queue and his outside lane was jammed and the inside (in which I was now travelling) and middle lane traffic was still moving

What about mapped A220 drivers?

Driving down to Woking then back up to Newcastle over last weekend, both me and Kraxx noticed that the outside lane of the motorway, seemed to be owned by BMW, Audi, VW and Merc drivers, all of whom were doing well over the speed limit.

Yep...:ears:

It has always been well documented that most BMW drivers are complete knobs, well I honestly think that Audi drivers are giving them a good run for their money, if not actually picking up the gauntlet and racing ahead of them, I've been doing some serious mileage over the last few weeks and for me, Audi drivers now shade it :smirk:

Best you keep a low profile ............... Audi, Beemer and a two wheeled Lycra wearer, it really doesn't get worse than that!

I drive around 800 miles a week, sometimes up to 1000, and I'm afraid to say there are two big annoyances on the roads for me. Ignorant Audi drivers, and grown men riding around in shiny girls outfits. They all seem to think they have a God given right to the piece of road I'm on.

The best bit is when we ride 2 abreast........just like the Highway Code tells us too :ears:

Took a while but relatively easy in the end. :ears:

I'm finding young women driving Golfs and Minis seem to be some of the most aggressive and they happily ignore most junction signs; usually with a phone in hand.

 

[Paul77]

Also what is with the amount of young folk all driving about in AMG Mercs? They cost a bloody fortune and I'm pretty sure it's not Wonga financed.

Depends if you mean the AMG trim models or the AMG engineered models.
I have an A220 AMG and it was only a few grand more than a Mondeo Titanium X. So not that expensive.
The A45 AMG on the other hand... but dont see many of those around.
