I think it's more that a certain sort of person is attracted to a certain sort of car.

I followed a bimbo in a Discovery 4 this morning. Her driving on the A-roads was very jerky, constant corrections to the steering and dabs on the brakes for no reason.
When I got past on the dual carriageway (in the left hand lane at a queue since she went straight to the right lane and clearly wasn't going to move) I saw she had a carful of young kids. I bet they were all feeling sick!!

This morning I was catching a black Saab 93 on the M80. Nicely driven (I thought) obeying the speed limit pretty much, Yer Man sitting with hands at the requisite ten-to-two position on the wheel, poker properly inserted; you get the picture.
So, he's nearing a lorry at an approach speed of approximately 2mph and with at least quarter of a mile to go. I am on the verge of passing him with my front wing about 6 feet behind him. Next thing is, I have a black Saab right in front of me! Cue immediate standing on of brakes as he carries serenely on, having made no attempt at indication, no looking in mirrors that I could see (and I was watching - folk do have a habit of such manoeuvres on that road) and his hands remained at 10-to-2 the whole time!
I was so busy avoiding this utter moron I didn't even have time to blast my horn at him!
Naturally, he pulled back in and then into the slip for the M73 immediately after, otherwise I was very tempted to follow him and "have words"!
Cunt.

Juke that tried to undertake me and then barge in when her lane disappeared. No, nein and non. M1, Saturday, A3 that I passed at a cruise-controlled 77mph, which then overtook me, got ever so slightly ahead and then signalled left to come back in, whilst slowing down. Then barged her way in, with only a couple of feet spare, between me and the car ahead. Once I started to pass, I sat alongside and she wouldn't look at me. Just a resolute stare dead ahead. I've replayed this from the dashcam in case I did something further back to warrant some kind of revenge but, no, I simply cruised past that car without issue. It was bizarre. Afterwards, it became a shrinking dot in the mirror so goodness knows what her intention was.

I was turning right at a cross roads with lights where there is a central reservation for cars to turn right in both directions. There is only space for 2 or maybe 3 very small cars to wait, before the next car needs to leave room for those who are going the opposite direction to cross when turning right.
I was the first of two cars going my way and there was a van and a car going the other way. There was space for either direction to cross when the road came clear. Cue the Police van heading in the other direction who was turning right. Instead of stopping and leaving me space to cross if my side of the road came clear, he parked his Mercedes Vito right in front of me stopping me from crossing just as the road became clear. He refused to make eye contact just looking out the front of his van and then left me and the car behind stranded as the lights changed and we were stuck as the traffic started moving from the other direction. What an arrogant arse. I presume he Police's with the same understanding touch!

30-ish guy in a '66-plate VW Transporter this morning. Sat in the outside lane at about 60mph, nothing on the inside of him OR in front for a good 1/4 of a mile, yet he kept hitting the brakes every few seconds again for no apparent reason.
Usually in my experience such nonsense is indicative of texting or similar, but when I eventually got fed up enough to pass him on the inside there was no sign of phone use. Merely him, sitting bolt upright in his seat and looking somewhat terrified to boot!
Wee tip son; if you can't drive it, don't get in folks' way, especially during the rush hour!

Always driven a supermini and has now jumped on the VW van loving bandwagen perhaps.

Could be, Stu; it was somewhat annoying to say the least!

The traffi calming mode of choice around these parts seems to be the width restriction, but it seems nearly everyone in town thinks that they're used on a first come first served basis, not that if it's on your side of the road you're supposed to stop, pal. Getting mightily pissed off with having to brake/stop for cunts coming the other way on the wrong side of the fucking road. It's bad enough when it's parked cars, but these twats are taking the piss!

Ford Ranger, yesterday. There's a set of roadworks on the way out of the nearby town. As I approached the light went red and I stopped so Ranger man just went past me. There's a 90 degree right over a railway bridge immediately after the light and you can't see. Ok, I know there would be nothing coming but that's not the point.

I've just been over to M&S to grab a sandwich for my late night in the office. As I was waiting to cross the road a new Black C63S Estate passed me with the fat middle aged driver with his phone to his ear!!!
If he's bright enough to have a job which allows him to afford a C63 surely he has enough intelligence to know that the car has Bluetooth for his phone: they should take his car away and turn it into a Police car for a year whilst he walks or gets the train.

Quite so. AND give it back with the holes still there from all the electrical gizmo's cop cars have fitted these days! And the stringy adhesive from the battenburg stickers.

Idiots yesterday on what I think was an R6, in full hot weather gear of t shirts and shorts. Road rash beckons.

They mustn't fit Bluetooth to Range Rovers because everyone I see has a driver with a phone glued to their ear.

And I've just been back across to M & S for a sandwich and got passed at the crossing by a Bimbo in a 4 Series with a phone stuck to her ear. The BMW Bluetooth system is really very good - what's wrong with these people?

Tool in an RR Spurt, along a mile of dual yesterday. Pulled into the overtaking lane, then just sat there until the roundabout at the end when he turned right. Couldn't tell if it was someone too stupid to wait until they got there or too cunty to stand being overtaken. Or both. It was white...

See all my comments for the last 2 years or so about people driving across the Tay Bridge.
It's just the modern way, sadly.

Whoever scraped the hire car in Italy while it was parked. I didn't notice, but you can bet the return agent did! I have taken out excess insurance so let's see what they try and get out of me. 😡

If you're going to pull out in your smokey Mazda Bongo, get on with getting it up to the dizzying heights of the 30 limit. If you're then going to turn right, get in the right turn lane, not diagonally across it, blocking both lanes. Fuckwit.

Dropped my daughter at tennis this morning and have come in to the office for a few hours. On the way here on a quiet residential street, there was a Peugeot (kangoo kind of thing) driving towards me totally in the middle of the road. I thought she was just missing the potholes at the side of the road but then became concerned that this thing wasn't going to move and would hit me so I put my headlights on and moved as far left as I dared but she kept coming so I stopped. She sailed past with 10ft on her inside and about a foot at most between our mirrors. I gave her a look and she gave me one back which said "what's the problem?" I looked in my mirror and she didn't move one inch. I hope she meets a similarly spatially unaware moron: their argument might last some time.

Saw a similar thing on the way to the pub last night - one driver with acres of space, the other compelled to take evasive action. There are a lot of 'non-drivers' out there.

Pretty standard on the lanes round us, sadly. Too many people either have no clue at all how wide their car is, or feel the grass verge needs 6 feet of margin at all times.

And another one on the lanes today. We were in our horse box on a single track road with passing places. We are about 50 yards from the next passing place and two cyclists - lyrca clad and all - just keep coming past it and towards us. What did they expect me to do - magically dematerialise? I had to pull sharply into the grass verge, horse noises coming from the back as the sudden stop unbalanced him. And they just sailed past. Utter, utter fuckwits. Why is that too many cyclists just can't stop like normal road users? If I'd hit them, they had been hell to pay I'm sure.
