Default BMW drivers

You may have seen this email already - but I thought it was rather amusing.....

The other day I was cruising along as usual coming onto one of my motorways,
which was very busy with inferior cars. First off, I couldn't believe that
the volume of traffic DIDN'T slow down for me AT ALL as I came off the slip
road! I had to squeeze into a barely big enough gap between two cars in
order to get onto my motorway! (The driver of the car behind me did realise
his mistake though and honked an apology to me with a long blast of his
horn.)

Unbelievably, I had to do the same again before I could get to the BMW lane.

noticed an inferior car ahead of me which was not only in the BMW lane of my
motorway, but was driving at a ridiculous 70 mph! Naturally, I got to within
a foot or so of his rear bumper and flashed my headlights to remind him he
shouldn't be in the BMW lane of my motorway and to get out of my way. Of
course, once he realised it was a BMW behind him, he did just that, but I
could hardly believe it when he pulled straight back out behind me!

He also tried to keep up with me and when he realised I would out-run him,
he put on some blue lights in his front grill and urged me to get onto the
hard shoulder so that he could congratulate me on my excellent car. Needless
to say, I was eager to oblige and when we had stopped, the man gave me a
piece of paper confirming what I already knew - that my car goes fast!
Apparently he wants everyone to know what a superior car I have, so I had to
take my driver's licence to a Police Station to be sent away to have some
points put on! (They're not free points either - they're

... it was all a long time ago, I was young, I didn't know any better, the company was paying, it's not my fault.

I'm leaving now to spend less time with my family
