Top 5 cars driven by c.u'nt,s

After almost a year of research driving Mon-Fri from Barnsley to York and back, I can confirm the following are proper defacto proper c.nt.s

1. BMW 116D
2. Fiat Punto 02 plate right hand drive with left hand drive license
3. Any white van 10 years or older
4. Brand new Toyota Pensioner
5. All Women with the steering wheel attached to them so they cannot see their mirrors.

 

I think you've got to have any sort of people carrier - Zafira, Picasso etc in there. Driven by angry frustrated blokes who take the one opportunity a day without their horrific families in the car to drive like boy racers.

 

On my cycle commute

in the morning, I have to turn right into a side street and despite having my right arm stuck out I still get t**ts overtaking me. So far, twice this week (same junction) and that's not out of the ordinary. As for vehicles and drivers, one week it was two young women in Fiat 500 type things and this week it was middle aged men, one in a flat-bed pickup and the other in a mondeo.

People, LEARN TO DRIVE PROPERLY. You wouldn't overtake any other vehicle turning right, why do it to me?

 

Re: On my cycle commute

Surprised not to see Audi drivers on there ... and for completion I would have expected all BMW drivers to have made the list. (I assume that they have to take some kind of w*nker test before they're allowed to purchase one).

Other than that ... pretty much spot on.

 

Re: On my cycle commute

I've had a BMW for the last four years (an X3) and I don't recall taking the test that you mention above

As in all walks of life people are people, whether on foot, on two wheels or on four wheels. Some are sensible, considerate and knowledgeable people - me included.
Some are cretins who should never be allowed outside the house unsupervised.

I suppose most people adopt a different personality when they get behind a wheel and I will admit to the odd bit of aggression now and then, but that is usually in response to the unbelievable behaviour we all see on the roads. I would never deliberately drive in a way to endanger anyone else though.

This categorising people by what car they drive is just a bit silly, isn't it?

 

Re: On my cycle commute

Because you're a cyclist.

 

Re: On my cycle commute

Aye you're right, but the same laws apply irrespective of what type of vehicle you're overtaking.

 

Re: On my cycle commute

Like Red lights - going the wrong way down a one way street - driving 4 abreast down a road in stupid lycra - not riding on the kerb and that, having insurance for when you hit other road users.

Aye - I see loads of cyclist sticking to the laws like the rest of us.

 

Re: On my cycle commute

Please don't include me with the idiots. I always have lights on when needed, I never cycle down one-way streets the wrong way (unlike a motorist I had a chat with last week), I never ride more than 2-abreast (it's in the highway code) and insurance is not required by law for cyclists. Oh and I don't wear lycra. I have only ever once hit another vehicle (40 years ago causing no damage to either them or me) but have been knocked off by a careless motorist.

You are probably not aware of the legal difference between motorists on the one hand and a group of road users which includes; pedestrians, cyclists and horse-riders. This group of road users have an ABSOLUTE RIGHT to use the roads, motorists are ALLOWED to use them under license with insurance using certified roadworthy vehicles.

Please stop making this a battle between cyclists and drivers, it's a road safety issue involving all road users. I see just as many drivers ignore signs and red lights as cyclists.

I am also a driver.

 

Re: On my cycle commute

.

I drive a BMW and I am a very courteous and considerate driver. I never drive like a madman, I always indicate, I never cut people up, I let people out at junctions, I never use my mobile, I always keep left on motorways when not overtaking, I don't suffer from road-rage, I know how to use roundabouts properly and I have never been responsible for an accident in my thirty years on the road.

However if we’re going to generalise can I put taxi drivers and van drivers on the list.

 

Re: On my cycle commute

I drive a BMW 118 & consider myself to be also careful & considerate, Cambridge you talk utter ******.

 

I drive a Golf but I'm also a tw@t....how does that work ???

Re: On my cycle commute

No more so than categorising people by any other means. Religion, skin colour etc.

People make a conscious decision to buy a car, and for anyone that buys a people carrier they are therefore signalling that they have given up any pretence at being a normal human being.

 

pick the next 5 cars you see with private plates. I couldn't think of a single thing in the world more chavvy

 

Re: On my cycle commute

I find most mamil cyclists are drivers and mostly they drive BMW's.

 

A few years ago I was standing in a queue in a LVLA (sadly non-existent now) and the bloke next to me was bemoaning the fact that his daughter bought him a private plate for his birthday. The result being that every time he changed cars he had to transfer the number (so's not to upset the poor girl) at a cost of £25 a go. It was hard not to laugh....

 

I drive a BMW. Cos I'm a lovely person.

 

Refreshingly honest......

 

I like your signature mate.
