Types of car the always seem to hold you up

[Gallen]

Has anybody else noticed that its often the same type (Make/Model) of vehicle that you get stuck behind?

The type of driver who drives at 40mph everywhere, regardless.


Let me name 2 of the worst offenders:

Hyundai Getz
Citroen Xsara Picasso

...plus generally any of those design travesties that are taller than they are wide, with ridiculously small wheels.

All of them seem to be fitted with the type of lights that lock on to Full Beam when a vehicle overtakes.

Annoying.

This being PH you are shortly going to be massively flamed for daring to invite the reinforcement of stereotypes. May I invite the flamers to get a sense of humour in advance?

My vote is for two types of vehicle:

1. Windowed versions of vans. E.g. Citroen Berlingo.

2. Extra height versions of cars. E.g. Toyota Verso.

Rovers. Always driven at 40 mph everywhere, including motorways.

Anyone on a mobile phone....

Anything made in Korea or China. If you are going to buy this rubish, you aren't going to have to much interest in how to drive properly.

Best to keep your distance or avoid.

Nissan Note/s

It's not the type of car, it's just people who are on their way to a garden centre.

The old man and woman who have never had a intrest in cars.

In there small skinny wheeled taller than it is wide car.

I'll go along with the Nissan Micra,but most Volvo's also spring to mind...

Not always

[mikey-r]

Always, as mentioned before, Nissan Micra's... always driven at least 40% below the speed limit and by old women who can barely see over the steering wheel.

Also, we seem to have an abundance of late '90 Astra's in my area, that appear to have a top speed of 50 mph

Police cars.

[RockDoctor]

New Corsa's for me.

[Fantuzzi]

Micras,
