Females (sorry ladies) driving FO big American pickup trucks. Round these parts they are usually the spouses of Airmen. The Airmen have to take a Compulsory driver awareness training course, their spouses do NOT. How ridiculous is that ?

buses. bus driver once stopped to let passengers out of his bus in the middle of the road without indicating. i went up the inside thinking he was continuing and some old biddy nearly walked into me. bus driver then swore at me for riding dangerously. also got my front wheel clipped by a number 11 going from harewood road towards chelsea. fucking scary, thought i was a gonner

Oh...and agree about Cayenne. What were they thinking???

I'm afraid they were thinking

"I bet if we build a horrid softroader, put a porsche badge on the front and make it vaguely porsche shaped we'll get loads of thick nouveus wanting to impress other mums at the school gates remortgaging their houses in order to give us loads of luvverly money"

And you know what? They were spot on...

They didn't even build it. It's a VW Tuoareg with added Porsche apparently.

Nissan Micra's.......just Nissan bloody Micra's!!!

any sort of VAG group incarnation seems to be worst at everything, cutting up, not letting out, not saying thanks etc

i hate them in their ultra reliable, boring, boat looking cars....

Lately for me, the worse cars seem to be VW Golfs. I don't know what it is but sometimes I feel like I am invisible. Perhaps they are out to get me.

People with left hand drive cars, fair enough I figure they can judge it better, but they often pass too close.

Gussio

Those big Lexus SUVs which are two lanes wide and always been driven at twice the speed limit.

M is for muppet, that's for sure.

No M class anymore - changed to ML class as there was aconflict with BMW's M series vehicles - Note ML stands for Muppet Loser.......

I would say that BMW's are the worst for lack of observance, my wife has a BMW and she is the least observant driver on the planet - no concept of car size, or anything ahead of her - drives to the car in front.....

As a one off - I would say that the business women who drives her Saab like she stole it off the industrial estate where I work really needs to think about taking her test - she is way too fast and I have seen her have at least 3 prangs on the same round-a-bout.....fecking eeejit!

I wouldnt dare generalise for fear of someone taking me seriously but I do seem to be cut up / overtaken-then-turn-left-in-front-of'ed by a disproportionately large number of minis (the new ones (BMW again)) driven by a disproportionately large number of women in their 20s, typically with estate/recruitment/provincial-radio-advertising agency logos slapped all over the bodywork.....

Maybe it's a Norwich thing .... they say the air is thinner....

Probably anything that has it's engine running.

Always the smallest cars, Last night a Mini(BMW version seems a pattern emerging), sorry to say female driver early twenties wearing ipod!! pulled out on me on a roundabout. Luckily as per others on the forum I treat all emerging vehicle as useless drivers, who cant see past the dashboard.

liversedge

this is a stupid thread. its not the car its the driver.

the only pattern I have observed is that elderly folks are more often than not the ones that do not give enough room and pull out in front of you. mums in a hurry are also particularly poor.

Any 'OLD' crap car as well as articulated lorries...... they just come within an inch of you on country roads, deliberatly.

What's all this crap about BMW drivers are the worst ??. I drive a 58 335d M Sport Coupe and give more repect to cyclists than other drivers.
