Now i’m sure you’re all absolutely charming in person. BUT, once you sit in that car, what is it that trips your mindset and turns you in to one of the most annoying branded cars on the road, genuinely I’d really like an explanation from one of you to explain and justify your need for speed and erratic driving.

Anyone?

😂

Driving home on the motorway yesterday, one overtook me and tailgated the car in the outside lane, the motorway was really busy and the car in front couldn’t move out his way but that didn’t stop the Audi A4 from being about 3 feet behind him, further down the motorway one came speeding up behind me, i couldn’t move out the lane i was in and again, they insisted on nearly rubbing bumpers with me, a small gap appeared on the inside lane and he quickly swerved into it then undertook me, i just don’t understand what’s going on in their heads, are they always running late for something maybe, poor time management? 🤷‍♂️

Can't say I've noticed a particular pattern. My last "what a twat" moment was with someone in a Vauxhall Corsa, so I think it might be random.

(No, not an Audi driver).

Examine your own mindset. What makes you brand all Audi owners on the strength of ONE example , in which you seem to be more preoccupied with the brand than the driving.

Bad drivers drive any brand erratically. You wouldn't notice good driving. There's probably much more good Audi driving than bad Audi driving so I am very interested in what makes you dislike Audi's ?

30 years being on the road, the bad drivers stick out more than the good drivers, and you don’t need to have eagle eyes to spot those 4 cock rings on the back or front of the vehicle, Im not alone on this im sure, yes there are bad drivers in all makes and models, but audi drivers seem to have manopolosed it.

White Audi’s and White Range Rovers are seemingly driven by those with a heavy accelerator foot and a longing to be The Stig (in my humble Motorway driving experience).

On normal roads you can’t move for Citroens and you’re just lucky they’re working (in my experience as a Citroen owner)!

I had to look that up cos I didn't know what it was.

2. It's what I call a sports car ( in a generic sort of fashion )

3. It's fooking expensive

Never been keen, the sound of most of them are like wet farts coming out the exhaust. Much more of a fan of the American muscle sound or even some of the Japanese ones which are based directly from the US muscle, much more industrial sound and mad max looking.

Bad drivers are prolific but Audi ones are the norm for their users. Very dangerous. I've seen a few that flash their lights, trying to clear others from in front of them, before tailgating. BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Volvo are likely to need driver training and insurance hikes by considerable amounts

I like driving, no actually I love it. And I like driving fast. Advanced driver of a BMW here, with a powerful engine but it does not make me challenge other drivers - I drive defensively and the power of my car is used when I need to get out of a precarious situation mostly caused by inexperienced and inconsiderate drivers.

I think we all need to reflect on our behaviour here.

Generalisations around protected characteristics are one thing, but when it comes to the purchase of goods and services that's just over the line.

Have some empathy, there are probably Audi drivers out there now, with outrageous finance agreements, APRs that would make a loan shark smile. Suffering with buyer's remorse, everyday of their lives. And here we are adding to their pain.

Your struggle is real Audi drivers. #notallAudidrivers.

Do you think some of this behaviour is because 'premium brand' car drivers are not offered as much generosity by other road users?

I had an unremarkable Ford Fiesta up until pretty recently

I now have a newish BMW coupe (with fully working indicators - I paid extra for them )

My driving style hasn't changed

The car isn't ragged about and I am courteous with others

However, what I have noticed is a huge difference in how fewer cars are willing to let me out of junctions, give way to me etc and how many want to 'race' me away from traffic lights etc

I don't get it, but it's definitely a thing

It is. I had this very thing when I owned a black car (it was only a Hyundai - not a sporty car). People see black cars and automatically assume “racer”, so yes, it is a thing and I guess more high powered cars are a casualty of that mindset.

However, what I have noticed is a huge difference in how fewer cars are willing to let me out of junctions, give way to me etc and how many want to 'race' me away from traffic lights etc

I don't get it, but it's definitely a thing

It is. I had this very thing when I owned a black car (it was only a Hyundai - not a sporty car). People see black cars and automatically assume “racer”, so yes, it is a thing and I guess more high powered cars are a casualty of that mindset."

"Especially those who drive white Audi’s.

I have a theory that they drive so fast so that dirt cannot stick to their car.

😂

Driving home on the motorway yesterday, one overtook me and tailgated the car in the outside lane, the motorway was really busy and the car in front couldn’t move out his way but that didn’t stop the Audi A4 from being about 3 feet behind him, further down the motorway one came speeding up behind me, i couldn’t move out the lane i was in and again, they insisted on nearly rubbing bumpers with me, a small gap appeared on the inside lane and he quickly swerved into it then undertook me, i just don’t understand what’s going on in their heads, are they always running late for something maybe, poor time management? 🤷‍♂️"

Well if he was able undertake you.

You are in the wrong lane.

And hopefully you aren't one of those fellas that stay there to teach everyone a lesson.

I drive on motorways every day and the people that are complaining about this are usually the ones that are at fault.

"

Only exception is maybe the porsche straight 6 for example.

And with that comment whatever was left of the OP's credibility crashed off the road.

A straight 6 Porsche. FFS!

What does that have to do with the OP? I digressed talking about the sound ICE cars make.

Also I meant flat 6"

My mistake, not the OP but you that doesn't know his straight from his flat.

However you are correct in that you definitely won't get a child seat in the back of a 2 seater Vantage.

People buy BMW, Audi, Mercedes, 4x4, and lets not forget van drivers, to let everyone know that they are fucking idiots.

Or they buy them because they like the car or need the van for work.

"In Manchester, the twats on the road all seem to be cabbies driving white Prius'"

Prius drivers are a different breed altogether

"Bad drivers are prolific but Audi ones are the norm for their users. Very dangerous. I've seen a few that flash their lights, trying to clear others from in front of them, before tailgating. BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Volvo are likely to need driver training and insurance hikes by considerable amounts"

Forgot to add the Range Rover drivers, to the shame list

Actually I worked with a brat who did this, she bragged about how much Daddy had.

Daddy paid someone to sit in a cafe, near the theory test centre to give them the answers.
