Funny how this thread developed....!!! I wasnt singling out BMW drivers-it was just another idiot who just happened to be driving one.
HOWEVER,without being small minded, have you ever noticed the brand of car in lane 3, poor visibility-rain,spray or fog- that you only just manage to see in your rear view because S/ HE HASNT GOT ANY LIGHTS ON? They are often grey ones which compounds the problem.
Some years ago I was outside my workplace with several other workmates waiting for our manager to arrive with the keys. He would race across the large company car park towards his personalised parking bay & slam his brakes on @ the last minute. This time however he didnt notice the wet leaves & locked up all 4 wheels & skidded into the small bollard @ the edge of the bay :o Oh how we enjoyed that! :lol Dont need to tell you the make of car :lol My opinions are based, like Maddog, on observation NOT prejudice(contempt prior to investigation).
Or what about the guy in the 5 series tailgating myself & friend riding towards Plymouth out of Cornwall.Every set of traffic lights we blew him into the weeds. Neither of us were riding anything special-both on very boring Hondas. Now Im not saying ALL BMW drivers are bad, but they do seem to attract a certain type. :eek [size=78%] BMW motorcycle riders?-a different species altogether[/size] :lol :rolleyes :lol
