I'd also add;

6. Stopping (without indicating) wherever the f uck they like, often obstructing traffic in both directions whilst their label-obsessed passengers embark/disembark complete with gasfitter's arse jeans.

I'd differentiate the Corsas as being driven by those too young or too old to notice they are being obstructive/reckless. This is a very deliberate arrogance.

 

That's exactly it;

120 on the 'Bahn is quite a relaxing/absorbing experience.

70 over here can be terrifying.

There are also only a tiny minority spoiling for a fight, whereas here it seems to be nearly everyone some days.

 

It's worth pointing out that not all 'German' car drivers are bad...

 

[QUOTE=grahamb,Jan 22 2007, 10:18 AM] Tbh I try not to flash people unless it's unavoidable because of nobs like this.

 

I find using the indicator alerts them to your presence but it's a much less aggressive gesture.

 

Well, not all stereotypes are stereotypical!

In fact there is almost a backlash amongst some three-series drivers, who seem to be very concious of correct use of indicators!

I'd also add Jeep drivers to the 'German' list as often being utter tossers - The D-C connection or just a desire to look like a redneck?

 

I make a point of *always* using my indicators and never driving like an idiot - something which can't be said for a lot of other 3-series drivers unfortunately.

I don't do that much travel on the motorway apart from my daily commute, but some of the things I see are shameful, and sadly often seem to involve a BMW somewhere along the way!

I feel like I'm slowing down in my old age too (yup, nearly 30) - I'm quite happy bimbling along at 70/75 in my BMW (something must be wrong)

 

anything with 'warrior', 'animal', or 'no fear' written on it

will be driven like a mong, by a mong

 

I've considered retrofitting a gas powered paintball gun into the grill of a car. With a dash button it would fire the pellets and they come out quick enough to dent. He'd probably just think he'd gone over a few big stones until he got home and realised the mess at the back - by then its too late to get a plate

 

Spot on!

4-Cabs, giving white van men more scope for mongish driving every day.
