Are RR drivers all idiots?
Discussion
Approaching a left turn onto the slip road, onto the A63 from Hessle if anyone knows it. I was actually just starting the turn when a Grey RR,(what is it with this Grey colour, thought that was out of fashion now), cut right across me from the opposite lane. I'd spotted him approaching quickly so was prepared for it but still. He was staring straight at me as he did it as if challenging me?? I didn't take my hands off the wheel or swear at him or anything but, once in front, he then started braking, accelerating, braking, accelerating, and I could see him looking in his rear view mirror, challenging me to react I'm sure!!
When I didn't, and slowly followed him, he shoots off, pulling straight onto lane 1,right in front of a box wagon who had to brake himself, blaring his horn!!
He then accelerates on, has to slow for another car in lane 1, as lane 2 is full of cars moving along at speed. The box wagon accelerates into lane 2 and blocked him from overtaking the car slowing him down so I caught up with him before the next turn off!!
What the hell is it with these people. Get aggressive with people, but then can't plan ahead in case someone takes them up on it, if you see what I mean!!

Yes clearly all Range Rover drivers are pratts, you have conclusive proof.
It’s ok to admit though that secretly you really want one!
Who said Range Rover? It’s ok to admit though that secretly you really want one!
It could be a Rolls Royce, Reliant Robin etc.

Now have a mental picture of a Reliant Robin driver being a prat, a la Clarkson!
Had a BMW 5 series doing circuits of me on the M1 the other day. I was minding my own business, keeping reasonably sensibly left, then moving out to overtake cars and moving back. The traffic was medium so moving out and back worked well. I noticed the BMW as when I moved out from L1 to overtake a car in L2, I had to pause as he went by in L3.
I'm pretty much on cruise control, only coming off to slow when needed. He pulls in, I go by and pull in behind, he slows I overtake, pull in, he speeds up (fairly quickly) moves out and overtakes me, then slows down. Sometimes he pulls in directly in front of me, sometimes into a gap further ahead.
We do this a few times before I really clock it. Then we carry on the dance until I get a bit bored of it. So I pull alongside him in L3, he's in L2 and look at him. He looks at me, winds his window down, does a big thumbs up and accelerates off.
Does he fancy me?

I'm sure many BMW and Audi also feel equally aggrieved at the stigma attributed to their peers.
During the 250 miles that I drove today, the biggest idiot was in the smallest car, some blue hatchback thing, the driver seemed to think that when joining the motorway it's ok to just launch off the end of the slip road whether or not someone else is already in lane one. There were a few dicks in RR's but I expect them to be dicks so there were no surprises, before the RR drivers get all precious, I expect everyone to drive like a dick, it's served me well for the past 40 years.

Were you driving one of the Formula Fords? He could just have been a car enthusiast? I'm pretty much on cruise control, only coming off to slow when needed.
