the most aggressive drivers

Postby ger » Mon, 22 Sep 2008 4:16 +0000

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.... :twisted:

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 :D

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 :lol:

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 ! :!:
