Andy (Sycho) Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Found a photo, They are in disabled spaces. And what has happened to the one on the right? What an Audi driver.. It's obviously been adapted for ease of access! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dombanks Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I agree Jeff. Your also right about the woman, although the younger they are the worse. What worries me is the young girls driving small city type cars on motorways at 90 MPH who obviously haven't got a clue what could happen if it all went wrong Is this going to be the modern equivalent of survival of the fittest...? Probably not. The young thing I used to work with got let off 90 in a 60 because she fluttered her scouse brow and it was her birthday. Had that been me in the Z I'd be much worse off.

Stu Faulkner Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 It's properly my wife!!! It's more to do with reps & company car lists How funny would it be if all reps had to have smart cars. Wacky races anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Faulkner Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 I've been to work today and on the way home I saw an Audi A4 use its indicators before changing lanes. Do I need to report this car as stolen? Oh I've got it on me now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John K Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 He was probably hanging his jacket on the indicator stalk... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clansman Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Funny this, I am just starting to think about my next company car. I am currently driving a Lexus IS300h, which is a great car, but I miss having an estate. So my three choices as I see it are a 3 series touring, C class estate or a A4 Avant. At present the A4 is bottom of the list Think you only have one choice Gary............A class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyonspride Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 It's totally a self importance thing, it's related to social class aspirations. Certain people buy certain types of cars and unfortunately a proportion of Audi owners often have an inflated sense of self importance, as well as a belief that they can do whatever they like and whilst the greater percentage could be perfectly fine, it's the bad ones that everyone notices. The most common thing I notice with Audi, BMW, Merc, plus most 4x4s and crossovers, is hogging lane 2 of a D/C for mile after mile, basically because their fragile ego cannot handle the prospect of being overtaken. But again it's a minority that are actually bad..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But again it's a minority that are actually bad..... I've given up caring about lane hogging on 2 lane roads often at the mo I'm on them late at night so just go around people. There was a section in my bmw handbook about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I travel a lot and I'm doing 500 miles a week now in a 3-series and you know who the worst drivers I see are? Categorically Insignia and Astra GTC drivers. After the Peugeot drivers that have all but given up on life that is. I actually don't even acknowledge 2nd lane hoggers any more and if you drive like you should (ie keep left and to the speed limit) you'll find, like I do, that you undertake more people than you overtake 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SootySport Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Where do they come from This is a personal (and light hearted) view so don't set fire to my dog if you own an Audi due to all WSCC Audi drivers being forgiven. Every day I do 100 or so miles on the M1 and every day there is an Audi stuck up my chuff. Or undertaking, Or flashing, Or cutting in, The list goes on, there are two disabled bays at work and there is an Audi in both,and there not disabled. At work now if you do something wrong the harshest insult we use is- You total Audi driver. There are other cars driven rudely but nowhere near that of the Audi driver. Aahhh I feel better now, rant over. I'm always up some ones Chuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John K Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 ...After the Peugeot drivers that have all but given up on life that is... I posted something similar in my ST thread... "And they are ALWAYS driving a Peugeot - unfortunately nowadays the marque for drivers who have given up caring... Even Honda Jazz drivers care more for driving than your average bloke in a Pug..."
