 Who do you find are the most aggressive drivers, towars mx5's?
 Personally I find Audi/Volks TDI's to be the worst.
 
 I use the N11/M50 a lot and there always seems to be some fecker in a Audi turbo deisel sitting on my bumper, now i have gone turbo i just watch the disapear in the rear view mirror.

 Don't really find anyone agressive. Maybe its just you city boys living the stressfull life. 
I would love to know why bmw drivers seem unable/unwilling to use there indicators though. Are they a Factory option on BMW's?

 I have to agree with vw's 
 Golfs and ford focus's and there not even boy racers......
 I love letting them follow for a while and let them think the car slow, and then just floor it and leave them standing, they never follow....

 I just pull over and let them past. I must be getting old......
 As for the BMW's, my sister got one a year ago and turned
 into the worst driver in the world. Also got a god complex.
 Don't think thats on the options list

 Tee Hee     Have to say I've met agressive drivers in all sorts of vehicles.  Not sure I find BMW or Merc drivers any more agressive just  ridiculously arrogant.
 Maybe the soundproofing is so good you actually believe you are the only car on the road.

 I find the big merc's & BM's are generally so cushoned in their comfy palaces that they tend not to notice other cars on the road (my Dad included)  
 In terms of  a specific vehicle,  keep an eye on every BMW X5 you see,  I have never sen one being driven well,  seriously guys lets start a survey,  post in here if you see a X5 been driven well. Betcha there are no posts

 I'd have to say i know 3 people with X5's and they all drive fairly ok.
 (for bmw drivers)

 You should try riding a motorbike ! People try to cut you off all over the
  place and boyracers think they are going to beat you off the lights !!
  And TDi owners just want to try to drive up your ass !
