I'm saying I understand, from the expirience he's talking about, not that I agree. Big difference dude!

We're all not parochial, so can understand a reference about Hasidic Jews driving in North London.

The irony (and let me explain this) refers to reprimanding someone for a generalization and then going on to make one of your own.

Incidentally do people use the term 'dude' still? Think it had its heyday with Bill and Ted.

Some days just about every one deserves it. Not everyone gets it though, otherwise it looses its meaning and thats half the fun

Never seen a courteous Audi driver, apart from me when I had one.

Me! courteous Audi driver right here... I was brought up on the treat others how you expect to be treated

Why are taxi drivers so bloody awful?!

The only good thing about them is that they usually apologise when you go apoplectic.

From a sample of one yesterday - Ancient drivers (for want of a better word) of ancient Polos: worst; Drivers of white 63 reg Audi A4s: best. Guess who let me into the stream of traffic and who nearly drove into the back of 44 tonnes of Scania to prevent me.;)

There is probably a correlation with intelligence, being able to process more data, understand how traffic is flowing and predict others actions.

Then again arrogance may balance that out.

Doesn't matter what category people are in, there are Knights of the road and retards in all categories. Yes, even Audi and Rangie drivers.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

I must be one of the worst drivers on the road, I'm in:

B OAP's (1980 Metro's still with original tyres etc)
D Prestige (decent Merc's, Beemers etc)
E Audi Drivers (we know they need their own catagory)
F Enthusiast's (whatever marque)

I'm 65 (OAP), drive an A8 (prestige) which is an Audi (say no more...) and I'm an enthusiast (I'm chairman of one of the oldest classic car clubs).

I'd better hand in my licence right away...

This is going to be contentious but I would like to add a missing category: Hasidic Jews.

I have previously lived in a very large Hasidic Jewish area for a very long time and arrived at the conclusion that along with the Japanese, Jewish people are missing the spatial awareness gene. Absolute menace riding bikes (always look as though they are about to kill themselves) and driving cars.

I visited my mother and her boyfriend the other night. As I was crossing the road, as if to illustrate my point, a Jewish family decided to alight to let a kid out of their car. Except they chose to pull up in a lane with traffic and inexplicably at a 30 degree angle with the back of the car jutting across the lane, causing an obstruction within 2 meters of a zebra crossing!

GOLDERS GREEN! Worst drivers in history!!

In my experience, there are a number of visual indicators that an expert driver can learn to spot which indicate that the driver of a particular car may be lacking in skill.
