a day in the life of a BMW driver....

[ymfb]

I like to pull into the fast lane deliberately in my Smart car when I sees a Beamer coming ;D

Do you also drive at 69.9 mph in the fast lane when there is a lane to your left empty, I suspect you do.

It's about time we accepted that half of the drivers on UK roads are either asleep, distracted, just cocks or all three and allowed undertaking as hey do in the US.

It amazes me how many I overtake in my 1972 Devon, but it's only a tiny fraction that I overtake on my BMW motorbike. I just sold my BMW 330D as I don't do enough miles in a car to justify it anymore but in the last ten years of BMW car ownership I have seen many examples of muppets dangerously pulling out in front with little or no intention of making an overtake. It's rude and bad driving, IAM and ROSPA teach advanced drivers/riders not to cause others to brake or deviate.

Nuff said.

Back to emptying the bus.

You forgot to mention, putting on make-up, texting or talking on mobile, best I've seen is a guy eating his breakfast and putting deoderant on at the same time while trying to drive :shock: or staring at their satnav as it seems to present a more accurate picture of the road ahead than the one out the windscreen.
At least in your van your high enough up to see the numpties and take evasive action most of the time.

This is quite harsh - I drive a BMW and hardly ever do any of..... hang on, some idiot has just pulled out right in front of me................

Was going to join in the Beemer owner drubbing when I came across this little gem

A barn find thats actually come out of a barn, totally original and unmolested with only 2 previous owners and a massive history folder that goes back to the original bill of sale :shock:
Wont be taking my rightful place in the fast lane or removing my indicators yet as theres the bus and 2 Lambrettas to finish first.
