Safe Speed Forums

I came across this in the local rag. A cyclist being assaulted in London. If you watch closely, you'll see it was an Audi driver (don't get me started! ) who encroached into the advanced stop line.

Quite believe it ,judging from round here. Once upon a time it was BMW drivers, who as far as i can see have changed to Audi, and those non professionals in another lucrative trade do so from an A3 .

Absolutely. I think three of the worst offenders are Mercedes, BMW and Audi drivers. I find that the only difference between an Audi and BMW driver is when a BMW driver overtakes me, he bothers to indicate first.

Audi drivers are definately the worst of the three.

Ah, excellent. I now have permission to use the most gross stereotypes about any group of road users without any comeback.

Which group shall I choose I wonder...?

My opinion of most BMW drivers (excepting some we know) is that the function least likely to fail is the indicator as it seldom gets used .

The same one you always do?

Ah ,the "weepo gram". Surfaces when Cap'n Pugwash is all at sea. Add a cyclist, add a complaint, and up surfaces Weepy, almost as if there's radar or Cap Pugwash on the controls ,from down below. I could para phrase a saying " GS ,are you sleeping down below". And up pops Weepy. Or is it Green sh1*te, in lycra, rather than Naval uniform. I'd be careful Cpt'n - sailors do Like a bloke in Lycra.
