So I was happily driving along in my Audi in the outside lane of the motorway. The traffic volume was moderate and I was making progress past cars in the inside and middle lane. I was travelling a few leptons over the NSL but nothing to raise an eyebrow from plod and was keeping pace with traffic, while leaving a respectible distance between myself and the car in front.

I was making regular checks in my side and rear view mirrors, and on one such occasion I noticed that a silver Audi on French plates was getting rather fond of my rear bumper. This continued for some time as traffic flow slowed then sped up. Each time as traffic speed increased the Silver Audi got very close to me, so much so that I could almost see how yellow his nicotine stained teeth were.

Now I am the first person to moan about middle lane hoggers etc, but to reiterate, I was not holding up traffic and if I had let him go past me he would only be one car further on and up his chuff instead.

Unfortunately as an Audi driver I feel I am the target of some stick thanks to Mr Clarkson and his team of trained monkeys. As I am sure most of you are aware that the C*ck master is he who drives the type of Audi called an RS4.
So when I did finally move out of the outside lane because I was exiting the motorway at the next junction I was very disappointed to see that the French Audi, who was in such a hurry to get past me, was in fact a 2.0l Diesel.

Also, as the driver went past me he looked over at me and tapped his finger on his rear view mirror. Now I may be being a bit cynical here and he could well have been trying to signal to me that I might have a problem with my rear view mirror that Audi Uk may want to fix under warranty. However, I dont think that was the case, as it was still attached to my windscreen and reflecting well within its design specifiaction.

So it would appear that some Audi drivers do live up to their reputaiton as C*cks who sit in the outside lane trying to force people out of the way with their menacing front grills and DRLs, but in this instance it wasn't the ultimate C*ck in an RS4, but some frech idiot in a 2.0l diesel... trying to get past me.... a senisible driver who respects lane discipline, leaves a safe distance between himself and the car infront and who tries not to intimidate other road users.... In his RS4

Exactly. Tail gating is a way of life in Europe, especially France in my experience

Drive on an autoroute in France and they all do it, it's completely unnecessary and doesn't achieve anything but they still do it.

Did he have his indicator on by any chance? It's standard practice in France, Germany, etc.

So? That's his problem. Let him get on with it, and get out of the way.

Just utter crap. Why then? You have seen an example of bad driving, this time the driver happened to be an RS4, so instantly you call RS4 drivers cocks.

Well done, you are a Muppet.

I know two people who own RS4s, and neither of them are bad drivers.

Plenty of bad drivers, in all sorts of cars.
love a good over reaction from somebody who can't read the whole post before they type smile

Plenty of bad drivers, in all sorts of cars. But if someone drives an Audi (in particular an RS4) badly, the bandwagon highlights it.

you were a mobile road block, you probably had more than enough time to pull over and let him past but instead as you own an audi and thus the road, you didnt.

And if they flash their lights, that's pretty standard as well, and is not in Europe (Franch and German) being rude, but more of a "excuse me, I'd like to go faster so be a good chap and move over".

Trained Monkeys. Hahaha ~ like your style Audi driver ~ like your style.

Yet another inaccurate Clarksonism ~ from this observer's viewpoint, Audi drivers have a lot of ground to make up before stealing that particular crown from the rightful 'owners' of the outside lane.... drivers of Bavarian Sierras.... biggrin

More seriously, were you not tempted to move over and allow that driver to pass at an earlier opportunity rather than stay there until your off junction was in sight ? Then maybe treat said driver to some of his own driving techniques ... I know I'd be very tempted to do that.

But that would have made me as bad as him, and playing into the "All Audi drivers are c*cks"

Except in Italy where you can tell what they have had for lunch they are so close. Sweet corn driving I call it. At 160KM, great fun.

If you read the post it seems that he was in a queue of traffic all passing slower traffic in the middle lane.

Why should he pull over because an arrogant twaat behind wants to get one car in front?

Fact is , he is clearly in a rush, you clearly wern't. Is it that much of an issue for you to move over and let him past?

The fact you even registered all of this and didn't bother moving or anything is worse.
