Why are forums always full of this crap?

I bet they are writing on parallel forum about a cock in a S2000 right now.

If I get an idiot in any type of car behind me I let him past so he can speed to the scene of the accident.

Agree with him speeding to the scene of an accident.

But the C*ck remark is a bit harsh, anyway he was up my chuff in the outside lane, and the inside lane was busy so wanted to get as far a way as possible from him as was turning off at the next junction anyway.

Its like saying ive noticed that alot of idiots drive silver cars
I take note of the cars that I see driven really badly (as in aware of their actions not merely incompetent like numpties)

most of them are diesels

that's followed by obsolete saloons like Cavaliers and Mondeos, along with WVM (usually diesel) in Transits or more likely Sprinters

I very rarely see a genuine high performance car being driven idiotically unless it's Japanese

There are enough round here to make up for it. I regularly see a Murcielago and an F430 being driven idiotically. The Lambo is the worst, weaving in and out of the traffic while bouncing off the rev limiter.

One might have thought that, but like JC, I am conviced that the BMW/cock ratio has declined and the 3er is the new sale-rep-special Cortina today, so one would have expected more cockheadedness if it were merely numbers. Many even indicate, FFS.

I think the TT thing is simply they think what they're doing represents "spurty drivin'" and they don't realise it's being a cock.

Nope - nothing at all.

Fast / flash / expensive cars are generally driven quickly but safely.

Diesel boreboxes (06 to 08 reg) are typically driven agressively by men, and are typically Audi

I don't do urban commutes so volume is not that apparent to me

Thats my point, its a numbers thing.
If there are 20k drivers on the road and 10% drive like cocks and 15k of the 20k drive deisels then 1500 will drive like cocks in the deisel car whilst 500 will drive like cocks in the petrol.
You will see even more deisels driven by cocks in a commuting enviroment as it is of course there chosen form of fuel.
Not trying to be sarcastic but your hardly going to see a Zonda undertake with its fogs on in broad daylight as you will probably never see one full stop.

very nice cars are noticed and if they are driven badly, it sticks in the memory

since I struggle to recall many such cars being driven badly, I don't think the issue is one of numbers
