Jabberwocky Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 You're a bit out of date there mister, you'll be telling us a Skoda joke next. You think im not serious? Im speaking from experience here. I very rarely lost my rag when i drove and the only times i did was when i was behind one of those heaps. theyre supposed to be able to do well over the ton, and they DO go over the ton- to overtake you so they can start doddering along at 20mph. Ive seen the buggers risk life and limb to get in front, theyre worse than bloody tractor drivers in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbees Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Here's a Volvo joke for you then, the first one that comes up on google. An old guy in his Volvo is driving home from work when his wife rings him on his carphone, "honey", she says in a worried voice, "Be careful! There was a bit on the news just now, some lunatic is driving the wrong way down the motorway", "It's worse than that!", he replies, "There are hundreds of them!"

Justin Smith Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 It depends on definition of crap driver. In general crap drivers drive crap cars and these cars are usually little and cheap such as with name something like Deawoo Matiz, Hyundai Atos. Suzuki Alto and Wagon R, Vauxhall Agila, Kia Pride and the most popular one the Ford Ka. No one who has driven white vans criticise them any more because they are great, you should all try one first. Are you being ironic ? Most peoples definition of the "worst drivers" are the aggressive SOBs who wind them up. The latter very rarely drive the kind of car you have mentioned.

Jabberwocky Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 There are actual volvo jokes? I knew there were skoda ones but ... i was right about volvos then, it isnt just me who noticed them? thats very heartening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinlock Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Slightly off topic, have you noticed any improvement in the way people drive? Even with the driving test being more thorough, it doesnt seem to have had any effect on the way people drive... I believe its much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter very rarely drive the kind of car you have mentioned.That's why I said it depends on the definition. The sort of people who buy the cars I mentioned really don't know what they are doing so far as driving ability is concerned. The ones you mention are selfish and inconsiderate which is different. They have decent cars so they know a bit about it unless it's a BMW of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginner Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 ...Most peoples definition of the "worst drivers" are the aggressive SOBs who wind them up... I can't comment on most people's definition of "worst drivers" as I have never seen statistical data to back this up. But in my opinion you have miserably (as usual) failed to include other categories of poor driving.... eg... - drivers who don't look beyond the end of their bonnet/boot - drivers who fail to react/adjust their driving to good/bad road conditions In my opinion these drivers are just as likely to cause incidents as the aggresive drivers amongst us. Which cars do they drive? Allsorts mate. From 4x4 tanks to L reg Mondeos. From 56 plate Micras to White Vans. Whilst I'm sure you're crusade against speed influences much of your bias toward motoring, personally I watch my back with all drivers in all cars, cos the general standard of British motorist is **** poor.

MickeyBarnes Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 British drivers are not poor. What a stupid suggestion. You ever been to a foreign country and seen the driving standards there. Put our highways against a country like Italy or Spain and your in one of the more safer nations to drive on this planet. Christ!! what a crappy generalisation.

okka north Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Definately volvo drivers, particularly if they are old and wear a hat while driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
