Has anyone noticed the following traits or others (apart from the Nova/Corsa/Fiesta boys sniffing exhaust fumes at 100mph only 2 inches from the bumper!) ????

BMW drivers always have to get one car in front of you on a single carriageway.

People Carriers/MPVs decide to plant themselves firmly inbetween lanes on dual carriageways to stop overtaking.



The joys of owning a Scooby I guess.

The foglights on BMW 3 series and Peugeot 306's don't have an off button...

Yeah, I think Peugeot purposely built the 306's with broken fog switches.

It's a common problem with the Scottish pugs I believe ;o)

Agreed

Whenever I'm out in the Scoob this sort of thing really pi$$es me off [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Whenever I'm using my old man's Beemer though, I'm king of the road and nothing overtakes me

MPVs also seem to have wing mirrors that don't work - one of them nearly totalled my scoob a couple of weeks back when they decided to drift right into my lane on a roundabout - resulted in full on emergency stop and a few choice words I can tell you.

... you can always spot a 5 series driver 'cos they always think their car is actually bigger than the lane they drive in and hence drive in two lanes at once.

... and there's Volvo drivers, but you can write pages on their antics. I can guarentee that if do a motorway journey there will be some old codger in a brown volvo in the middle lane with no traffic either side of him chugging along at 50-60 mph. What's this all about?!?

Talking

It's the bobble hat brigade that always makes me laugh.

Two old wimmin in a Metro, the one in the passenger seat you can't see because she's that small.
The driver is only visible by the bobble hat poking above the seat.
The speed they go is obviously the one that applied back in the 1800's when everything was only 1bhp (ie horse and cart !)

Classic up the A9 yesterday coming home.

Long stretch of dual carriageway (you know the bit where everyone decides to hammer it and jockey for position before the single track again!)
Pass said MPV, with a green 206 Roland Garros and silver Vauxhall Tigger trailing in my wake.
Tigger fancies the inside lane maneouvre to take the 206 and MPV in front in the outside lane.
All of a sudden, "family man" decides that no-one gets past again, so plants himself squarely in the middle, weaving from side to side (no joke!) to stop both the 206 and Tigger from passing.
I actually slowed down to watch this unfold in my rear mirror.
Quite a sight.
Quite a d*ckhead.

No wonder the A9 has the reputation of being an accident blackspot, with idiots like that on the roads
