Worst Driven Cars

[downthepub]

I'll wager any Japanese saloon car 10-15 years old...

Hey my mother has one of these.


Her driving was truly awful when she was younger and it's only got worse as she's aged. So OK, I'll give you taht one

Always driven badly by the uneducated tattoo and vest brigade.

It is one of those un-written laws of the universe that at the head of any queue of cars there is a Nissan Micra, normally red but these days metalic colours are coming into favour. I guess the OAP's have a bit more cash now and can afford the paintwork upgrade.

But having said that since I have started travelling 140 miles per day on motorways I have noticed that Nissan Joke drivers seem to think they are sports cars.

Anything with a 'baby on board' sticker. Driver is always distracted or sleep deprived. Or both.
Anything chosen by the driver's spouse (range rovers driven by orange trophy wives / people carriers driven by angry husbands).

That's a bizarre stereotype indeed. They aren't even that common, and they are mostly driven by women.

I've noticed I've been getting stuck behind these a bit lately, just the stepway incidentally, or maybe its always the same one, pity because I actually quite like them.

In the 22 years I've been driving, and more conspicuously so in recent years, my observations have been as follows:

Dawdling: Vauxhall Corsas, Nissan Micras, anything 'small & tall' and most MPVs.
Tailgating: Audis, VW Passatts and most SUVs.
Lack of awareness of surroundings: Anything small, MPVs and SUVs driven by women.
"fk you I own the road": SUVs driven by men.

In my experience its usually the MK4 Golf.

Tatty paintwork, rusty arches, audi rep wheels which are far too big for the car, dark blue or red, cheap backbox, cheap front mount intercooler zip tied into a bodged hole in the front bumper and a not so whitty ebay sticker on the rear window.

Always see them being driven flat out by some yob who thinks he's the bees knees for having a "german whip"

Picasso and Zafira MPVs.

Not in the way mentioned by the OP, but these. Either driven agressivly or with little attention paid to the road.

Peugeots always seem to be parked badly and/or have at least one light out.

In my experience, driven by women who thinks it's fast and agile and angry men forced to drive it by their spouses.

Bodywork deliberately designed for those that park like Austin Powers trying to turn around in a corridor, and with lots of creases and curves to hide the dents.

Citroen Xsara Picasso

[Olivera]

Micra, Note, Jazz and anything that looks like a wardrobe on wheels.

Also forgot to mention this, pretty rare but always driven by a coffin-dodger:

I'd like to add "continuing at 40mph in a 30mph limit" to the OP's list! Whenever you're stuck behind someone who does 40mph in a 60 (which I actually have no problem with, it's their free choice to do whatever speed they like), as soon as you get to a 30mph limit, they almost always just continue on as if nothing has changed. My commute involves passing a primary school, and if I'm late for work and it's dropping off time, these people even do 40mph past the school with kids everywhere. What I find very frustrating is that if you do eventually manage to overtake them when safe to do so, no matter how safe the manoeuvre, or how carefully you do it, you always get main beam and shaking of heads.

As for make of car? I've not really noticed a pattern to be honest.

This ^^^ all day long. Fed up of these idiots.I now sit at bang on 30 right up to the gateway signs and then watch as they turn into a very small faraway dot in my mirrors. I also drive past schools twice a day and the amount of people who get wound up as I obey the 20 limits is astounding. There are tiny people with no road sense everywhere.....I'd rather go slow than take the risk of spending the rest of my life dealing with wiping out one of the said tiny people.

The 40mph everywhere because 'it's safe' brigade also seem to be the ones who can only see what is six inches in front of their bonnet. Grrrrr

[Hugo a Gogo]

against the grain here, I don't mind the dawdling grannies so much

but the E36 BMW

always driven by complete nobs

[Gallen]

- Anything taller than it is wide, likely Malaysian or from the East.

- Citroen Xsara Picasso.

- Most things driven by a woman before 9.30am

...not to mention people who are driving as if they are "tyring" to go fast - typically the sorts who hold off bang on the needle at 37-40 right up to the NSL sign, where they then proceed to try and drag race (Obviously they then brake like mad men back down to a very annoying 28 in a 30mph, 37 in a 40mph etc).

It's annoying.

And who then Flash you when you overtake (because in their mind YOU must be driving like a crazy person)

[Brave Fart]

Any vehicle with a Royal Mail logo on the side. Yes I'm looking at you, Postman Pat; I don't care if you have deadlines to meet, you and your colleagues all drive like crazed loons.
