Than 30 years early in the next! Yesterday teatime had to travel my local city roads in rush hour-something I can usually avoid- to visit sisters house to check all ok as shes away on hols. There was a huge hold up with most of us sitting patiently in queue,except the "LOON IN THE BMW" who overtook everything the wrong side of keep left bollards at speed past supermarket entrance,shop,pedestrians,bus stop, completely ignoring all road markings. :eek He got to the hold up @ least 2minutes ahead of the rest of us,then had to sit there because NO-ONE WOULD LET HIM BACK IN! :lol

Stereotyping shows a certain small-mindedness, but when it comes to BMW drivers, there really is some truth in what they say. It seems that whenever I see a car driver acting like a complete knob, it's almost always a BMW driver! I'm not making it up - it's how it is!
I was on the M6 heading to Lancaster doing about 80mph in Lane 3. Thru careful observation, I noticed in my mirrors that far behind me was someone in a silver car, swerving from one lane to another in order to get ahead of the person in front. They were undertaking, overtaking and tail-gating. By the time he reached my bike, he'd just done an undertaing manoeuvre and was in the middle lane. He looked up at me, smiled, then started to accellerate to undertake me and zoom into my safe distance gap. Before he could, I accellerated and he looked up and SWERVED INTO ME at 80mph!!!!
He was actually grinning!! I made some hand gestures and he SWERVED INTO ME again - and again!!! I was flabergasted and ran my finger across my throat to indicate to the dickhead that I would kill him :evil . One more swerve at me and then he decided he wasn't making progress, so he swung over to the inside lane and undertook again before coming off at the M55 Blackpool turning. I followed him off onto the M55 and stayed behind him even when he tried to outrun me. Then he SLAMMED his brakes on and without the ABS on my bike, I think I might have locked up and come off.
I changed lanes and followed from a much greater distance and when he came off at a junction, I did too. I followed him for miles but then he started chucking his car around corners with no warnings, turning infront of oncoming traffic, and finally onto a housing estate, driving like a wild man trying to escape. Then I realised that I was being a bigger knob than him and let him go before some innocent pedestrian was killed.
Foccing BMW Drivers? In the main, tossers!! But obviously not all of them :-)
Years ago we used to moan about Volvo drivers (240 bricks come to mind)!!! since coming back to biking I've noticed that most drivers are alot more biker friendly. there are exceptions admitedly but if you wanted to generalise I would say as a biker I have noticed that the levels of courtesy to bikers has risen.
