James and Jessica (atypical vag drivers)

[scooters]

being bitter and twisted and increasingly cantankerous, resentful and jealous of youth etc I have decided to have a petty blast at the particular Audi A6 Tdi driving type - so aplogies to any who drive one in advance, it is not pesonal, several members of my family have these cars (miserable po faced twunts).

 

Yesterday's drive is a clasic example of this - Durham to Edinburgh on a Sunday afternoon - A1....caravan city, A697/68 - ok but sunday trippers round Wooler so I decide - A1 to newcastle then the A696 to Otterburn and pick up the A68 to Jedburgh and then Edinburgh

 

hopefully less trippers - WRONG - sunday fair in Otterburn and too many tourist cunts dawdling along at 40 mph - fortunately I was in the 1990 535i which, having had a rare dose of Optimax was going some so only got delaid a couple of times -

 

Once over the border things are not as much fun - more speed cameras and less overtaking spots - just coming out of Jed I come up behind an old biddy in a polo - keeping up a good 60mph and following her, James and Jessica from Wandsworth on their summer hols in their 4 year old silver A6 2.5Tdi Estate - a powerful car indeed and when James overtakes the old biddy I follow him out assuming he will be booting it - then I begin to realise he doesn't know the road - ok - no problem - I'm content to sit for the moment - we then get about 3 miles south of Lauder and stuck again, behind another polo at 50mph - there is a big straight - a good mile long - nothing coming - James overtakes I follow and this time decided to to take him as well as he was a bit slow and brakey through the bendy bits -

 

he pulls in - I continue to pass him - tosser decides to race me - ok the 2.5 tdi is a fast car but it ain't a 3.5 6cly with some extra soupy bits - he sees - old BMW not letting him past - CUNT - takes the race to 95 before he realises he is beat but doesn't slow down so I have to boot to over a ton to get past him. I fail to understand this issue this cunt had other than to risk both our lives - he isn't faster than me on the road because I know it better than I know my own navel - his car isn't as fast as mine - why didn't he just let me past - he knows he can't stop it - if he wants to test his oil burning cuntmobile against other carsthen go and try it on a track.

 

sunday bloody drivers!

Twats who don't like to be overtaken drive all sorts of cars not just Audis.

Very few people ever wanted to let either of my Range Rovers by.

Dare I say it, maybe he didn't want to let you by because of what you were driving.

well - there is that - the 5 series of that particular vintage was (and may still be ) driven by aggressive cunts!!

 

anyway - I think I will use the Daf for a few weeks - at least you get nice waves!

[Rocket88]

It's amazing the reactions you get from what you drive, rather than how it's driven. I've had a lot of old Yank shite, which kids seem to love, spotty oiks adore, and everyone else seems to hate. Biggest reaction was my rodded Ford Pop, which seemed to make everyone smile...apart from the beard and sandals brigade.[and the owners club!]

[Mr Lobster]

Some people just don't like being overtaken and take it as a personal slight on their manhood when someone does overtake them. These people are tossers and should die

[Alexg]

I have huge pleasure when blowing these twats away in my VVC engined Metro.....

Too right there, when I sometimes borrow me Mam's V reg micra, the "i'm not having that in front of me" driving technique of other drivers, has to be seen to be believed.

 

Little things like, i'm about a third of the way round a small roundabout, indicating, and the cunts that pull out in front of you is unreal, even though the car goes fairly well for a 1000cc.

[Station]

I think I've overtaken two or three times in my life. I saw a car pile up with dead bodies about 10 years ago, what a way to go, dying in a car crash because you were in a hurry, or just got sick of someone doing 65.

 

[red5]

As prev mentioned it's a mindset more than a car....

 

Try riding a motorbike for any length of time - pretty soon it's all car/van/lorry drivers

[warren t claim]

I have a feeling I don't want to watch Stations you tube video he's posted here.

[red5]

It's not the one of the biker being decapitated by a oncoming van I hope. That's grim.

[Milford Cubicle]

I haven't driven any conventionally acceptable cars in a while and I do like to drive quite quickly but I haven't noticed much of this going on.

The worst was when a smoky old Impreza (prob a 1.6 with HGF) with unpainted spoiler, bumpers, etc. wouldn't let me pass him in my far superior Justy, moving into the overtaking lane and slowing down every time I accelerated to pass him.

I just pulled back and let him get on with his wanky existence, eventually 'taking' him on a steep hill. 3 pot powahhhrrr!!

Heh.

 

There's nothing wrong with overtaking. I've probably done it 10-15 times today on A roads in the Midlands (in a diesel Skoda, ffs) and I don't drive aggressively - NSL roads and I didn't go above 70 at any point, it's just the mimbling fuckwits I passed didn't seem to realise that doing 70 isn't a crime, or indeed the slightest bit dangerous.

 

The whole 'think of the children', 'speed kills' thing is utter, utter bollocks. If you're gonna die, you're gonna fucking die. It's guaranteed that it'll happen at some time, so why spend your entire life having bugger all fun and getting nothing done just in case you happen to die that bit sooner.

 

I find anti-speeding safety campaigners to be very similar to born again Christians. Both base their entire existance on rumours and the occasional good idea, but both take it to extremes and make life miserable for everyone else. Your born again Xtian will spend every waking moment either praying, avoiding something or trying to tell other people how to live their lives. They basically spend their lives preparing to be dead "Because I will be welcomed into heaven" whilst having absolutely bugger all realisation that hey, they might just be wrong and this is the only chance at life they're gonna get, yet they try and prolong their miserable existance that bit longer without actually having any fun while living it.

 

The "BRAKE" knobheads just make me want to go out and commit mass murder in their name.

 

As for Stations vid of the Russian racers, shit happens. Ran out of talent and paid for it. Game over.

[VWPowered]

ive seen that video before, very tragic from smiles to nothingness in as many nanoseconds, i think vids like this should be made to be viewed as part of the driving test to show the impact of bad driving and excess speed

[Cavcraft]

Absolutely.

 

Also a hell of a lot of it is down to them being car snobs, i.e the bloke in the 'old' car shouldn't overtake their financed to the hilt (usually German)cock extention.

Two stroke motorbikes used to be good wor twats like that as you could ride round for hours in high gears at low speeds then chose the moment to overtake at full throttle and thus cover their shitbox cars in nice runny black spots of Castrol's finest.

Lol! Exactly the same thing happens to me when I used to borrow my mums S-plate Micra (K11, Blue in case its the similar to yours )

 

In my Micra I've had people sit at clear junctions, then as I'm approaching nearer they pull right out in front of me. I dont understand this, its like they are trying to say 'We are far superior to you' Fuck off are ya.

 

I agree about the how these bastard badge-snobs dont like being overtaken. They are mostly agressive little twats who live on thier huge egos. I've had more than few incidents with these cunts.

[Albert Ross]

Funny thread this. In the Scorpio Cosworth, I can't get past Audi/BMW drivers, as they don't want my heap in front of them. I still scare the crap out of them when I do finally blast past in a 24V 5500rpm 2nd gear screamathon, which does the trick nicely.

 

As for people pulling out on roundabouts, I find they do it most when I'm in the Land Rover. It's on crossplies, normally heavily laden, therefore not a fast thing at cornering, and it's Red. With the lights on, and a double bumper at the front. Didn't see it? SHOULD HAVE GONE TO FUCKING SPECSAVERS YOU BLIND CUNT!

[Gompo]

I was driving quite quickly on a long straight yesterday, probably too fast for many people but the weather was nice and I was enjoying myself. I dont drive my own car all that much.

 

Anyway, saw an Audi Cab waiting at a side road, he saw me.. waited maybe a second or so and then decided to pull out. I had to decrease my speed significantly which did annoy me. Admittedly I was tempted to try an overtake but it wasnt 100% safe, and I'm not sure I could have outrun him if he decided to be a complete prick.

 

The more annoying thing was that there were no cars behind me, and that after 1/2 a mile he turned off again.

[Mr Lobster]

Heh.

Well said. Theres nothing wrong with overtaking at all. Theres nothing wrong with going fast either. Its just a case of doing it appropriately.

 

I utterly detest the simplistic 'Speed Kills' mantra. Its a bit like saying flying causes plane crashes as you can't have one without some element of the other.

 

Speed doesn't kill. Bad driving kills. Poor driving kills. But the government (any government) sadly can't ban people becuase they are fucking useless and sticks to a stupid, dumbed down message instead of trying something to actually raise the standards of driving in this country.

[Guest]

With regards to death and overtaking, this evening I was behind a Polish driving school car which took about 5 minutes to overtake a cyclist - if all those lot did me a favour and died, I would have got home quicker.

wrong thread....derr!

Sad that a truck driver and passenger were forced to pay too.

It is sad, yes. It's also a fact of life that no-one lives forever. If your number is up, it's up. You can't guarantee that nothing will ever go wrong. So live a little. Enjoy the time you've got, and don't spend it all worrying about what might happen. It'll happen or it won't, some things you can control, others are under nobodys control. It's the bloke in the Good Luck / Bad Luck office who decides what happens, it's bugger all to do with you, me, the government, police or anyone else.

 

So enjoy going fast, take the odd corner a bit more quickly. Just be careful. If it all goes tits up it's either you ran out of talent or someone else did.

 

Don't drink drive. Don't drive stoned. Don't take the piss when you're giving it some beans.

 

Be aware, Everything else is out of your control.

Fuck that! I've span out on cow shit on a country lane. I was being careful.

I don't agree with the 'bodypart being chopped into bits by collapsing car, and then slowly incinerated, but at least I was living on the edge by going fast' thing.

This is where I disagree with you Pete - it had everything to do with someone else in the video that Station posted - the driver of the BMW. He took a risk for thrill of it and killed four other people.

 

I don't agree with the idea that it's okay to delegate responsibility for our actions to 'fate', 'him upstairs' or some other supernatural doo-dad or what-not, just so we can have some 'fun' on the roads and blame it on bad luck when it all goes tits-up and someone is killed.

 

Driving is inherently risky. I'm certainly not saying we should never overtake by the way, but I don't think we should approach every manoeuvre thinking 'how can I make this more thrilling for ME?' but rather 'how can I do this safely for OTHERS?'. It sounds to me that Scooters was thinking the latter when he overtook the Audi driver, while Mr Audi was quite happy to put people at risk to prove some point.

[Milford Cubicle]

Some people seem to think they have a divine right to overtake whatever the situation; nearing blind corners, in the face of oncoming traffic, up hills, over cross hatchings and solid lines, etc.

Bugger off.

[warren t claim]

I hate to come across all wimpy and nerdy but becoming a dad slowed me down behind the wheel. I'm still a psycho on two wheels though.

[Station]

I've seen you on that pushbike, riding on pavements, and through birkenhead precinct! etc.
