Hi all. Hope this helps anyone who encounters this problem. Out with the missus in Weardale today. Its an A road but lots of villages, tightish corners. Im heading home 50mph on 60 road, 30 in the 30 zones. Its very busy, lots of cars and bikes in the villages but managed to get through ok, Leaving the last village before home a car overtook us. From out the window came the raised middle finger, other gestures I wont go into and more. Generally abuse because I had dared to hold him up doing the speed limit. Im actually pretty quick in driving the motorhome but wont break the speed limit. This was the first time id encountered this and was at first very angry, annoyed and thought many an annoyed thing.

Then I noticed my mistake. I noticed the brand of car. The fact its an overpriced Skoda. That they are allowed to speed, to ignore traffic quews, to pull out on you, to not use their indicators and assume im a f$$$$n mind reader. They are allowed to drive a yard behind my car on my way to work. After all, the have carpets to sell, banks to work in and their car is compensation for a small manhood. So next time, ill pull over, get out, bow down, kiss the drivers feet, spread rose petals on the road and allow him on his way.

So I apologise for driving correctly.

So......can you guess the car brand?

Audi, by any chance? :)

If you'd been on a motorbike years ago it used to be a volvo drivers who drove like prats.

Have you calmed down a bit now? :rabbit::wave:
 
if you hadn't already said Skoda . i'd have guessed Audi or BMW, both as bad imo
 
lol.

I saw an advert recently that made me chuckle.

Woman: My boyfriend wants a new car. He's got a bit of money but isn't rich, and he's a w4nker.

You're in exactly the right place, said the Audi dealership salesman...
 
Par for the course up in weardale, can be very hazardous on hot summer days not only with the obligatory Audi, BMW and such but also need to keep a close eye out for the bikes wazzing through. Not that I've got anything against bikes, I own one myself and the roads up there are heaven for them but watch out for the nutters, theres always one and unfortunately usually a couple less after the summer. Those stone walls are very unforgiving.

Try not to take any notice,

they are probably full of drink and drugs, around here they are drugged up and you are lucky if they are only carrying only knives and not guns.

Car, anything bought or stolen on drug dealing money.

Early 80s before ANPR etc Police would often pull groups en masse into a layby to check the machines a dozen riders or more no one knew each other sometimes an interesting experience

You are correct

Hi all and yes Motorhome owners of the world, the car in question, an Audi A4 silver estate. I actually own a Skoda Octavia and really like to annoy them with the "its an overpriced Skoda" Same engine as mine" etc etc. My wife has a little C1 and its always got the obligatory Audi/BMW behind it going to work. I do wonder why? Why do they think they are Lewis Hamilton but only in a straight line. Perhaps the small middle finger was him displaying the actual size of his penis? Perhaps the up and down movement of his hand was to show the sexual excitement he gets when passing the local Audi Dealership, watching Top Gear or intimidating people by driving so close. Who knows. I feel better now!
 
You will have to move downto Spain. They all slow down and wait to overtake a couple of crumbles on bikes. Far nicer cycling on the roads in Spain than in the Uk. Only time we have been hooted at was by a Uk registered car who could not wait.

We saw one driver who clearly was not looking what he was doing and nearly knocked a woman over on a crossing. There was a very long exchange of words in Spanish followed by F*ck You as the woman walked off.

SWMBO is of the opinion when driving in the Uk that if the car behind gets to close it’s dangerous so she slows down.

Good :)

Now forget about the idiot driver, life's too short and he's not worth the time of day.
Go put your feet up in the sun/shade with a nice cool drink.

Unfortunately this country is full of people like this.I think they must be putting something in the water that's making at least half of the population angry inpatient twats.
It made me give up driving classic cars and has nearly made me give up driving old vans.
 
At least you got home safely ..

The other idiot will probably end up like this

T'other day I took my bike for its MoT, at the junction of the A57 and the A628 is a garage. Seeing as the traffic was backed up for quite a distance I did the thing that many driver hate, I filtered through.As I approached said garage I saw a car creeping out, so I stopped. The driver was looking left, but I was on the right and he turned into me and bashed his door on my front wheel. Because I was stationary with both feet on the ground, the bike remained upright, a fact that seemed to have escaped him. He jumped out of the car effing and jeffing and shouting at me to stay where I was, so I did, for a moment or two, while he ran to the Range Rover behind me who had a dashcam. All this time his car was blocking both carriageways. So with STOP THERE ringing in my ears, I snicked it in to first and ambled off. It seems that as a biker one is always the guilty party, but anyway, it was Tuesday and I've heard nowt since, oh and it passed too

I think it's lack of space. More and more people, means more vehicles. Too many people packed together doesn't work well.
 
Ages back I was out on the bike with our lass on the back, there were 2 Ferraris behind a tractor going down a relatively tight road. No issue for the bike. Got along side and the guy in the Ferrari tried to push us off the road. He was actually looking in his side mirror and laughing. Not in an evil way, just a 'this is a bit of fun' way. Fortunately I'd got my one piece romper suit with knee sliders on. Evidently the prospect of seriously injuring a couple of people wasn't an issues, but the potential of getting a scuff along his paintworks was too much, and he veered back on to the right side.

Not sure what was happening with his centre console, but as soon as I pulled Infront, stopped and put the side stand down his attention could not be drawn from it.
