Warning signs for me:

Honda Jazz / Kia Picanto / Hyundai i10 / Vauxhall Agila - beware, erratic and random driving is more than likely

Large 4x4 - Range Rover / X5 / X6 / Q7 with gangsta glass and vanity registration - beware, this guy knows that he owns the road, and rules / road signs and markings simply do not apply to him

But for worst driving, recently someone who lives in our village stands out. He has a black '60' plate Vauxhall Zafira, and thinks he's Lewis Hamilton. Last week I was driving with a little 'spirit' - nothing too fast - on a nice NSL single carriageway with some bends - he tried to keep up. After he'd nearly gone through a hedge with terminal understeer, I backed off on the basis that his attempts to keep up were going to end up doing him some serious damage. I effectively had to slow down to ensure that the guy behind didn't fall off the road trying to keep up.

Car most likely to come round a blind bend in the middle of the road on a country lane at 75mph because THEY won't be the one that gets killed...

I tend to find that the make of car doesn't matter, I just watch out for anyone who wears headgear when driving, whether it is a flat cap, headscarf or baseball cap.

Not all but a quite a few seem to be aggressive, impatient & inconsiderate. Use the following process to about their driving: mirror signal manoeuvre. Indicating is a luxury that is either not bothered with or used when the manoeuvre has already been started.

Will also give way to absolutely no way one except other black cabs however, will expect everyone to make special & immediate dispensation for them in return.

Normally I'd be saying Picassos, but I've changed my mind. At least the people in them are bad drivers but not unpleasant or doing it on purpose (I assume).

So I'm saying - Audi A3 drivers. Seriously WTF is wrong with them? Every single one appears to be driven by a hyper-agressive, weapons grade bellend. I assume it must be because they appear to the Audi sector of thrusting execs (nothing against Audis, they just appear to be the unfortunate recipients of the attention of twerps at the moment.) but this coupled with the appeal to the younger driver.

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

Hmmm. I know of a few youngish mums* that drive these round here. Packed to the gunwales with kids and kit, invariably festooned with stickers on the rear windows, smeared with snot and often with an idiot dog arfing around the boot. Must be hell on wheels...

Driving's normally not so bad - maybe aware that they are wielding a tin-can against the MPV tanks and agri-vehicles...

We do seem to have a problem with MKIV golfs round here...


  • slightly eco-mentalist streak to them

My neighbour has a Hyndai Amica. I never realised that it was possible to get some many dents and scrapes on such a small car.

Pickup trucks, like those Mitsubishi Warrior things. They must have excellent brakes and the drivers excellent reflexes, because the seem to follow the 0.2 second rule. Also a love of fog lights.
Honda Jazz / Vauxhall agila - 40mph an hour everywhere. Unless uphill where they would need to change gear, so 5 mile an hour in top.

Anything form the audi stable from a5 up so, a5, q5, q7, a6, a7, a8

a1-q3 don't tend to be so bad.

A5,A7 seem to be complete knobs top buy.

Disco 3/4 and Range sports tend to be bad.

Also Suzuki anything, kia anything driven by slow elderly doddlers.

Citroen DS5 terrible drivers normally.

Citroen MPVs Ronnie's car of choice.

agreed mostly chavs driving old hanging badly modded examples, also remember it ranked pretty highly in uninsured cars MID top 5 next to older shape 3 series. Gone are the days it was old Vauxhall or ford.

Worst Driven Cars? This one was done not too long ago and the answer (which is blindingly obvious) is the Vauxhall Insignia. In fact from my experience any large Vauxhall is in with a shout, closely followed by any small Vauxhall.
Yep. I have also noticed very similar driving styles between Vauxhall drivers and Audi drivers (aggressive, inconsiderate etc).

I wonder of the former graduate to the latter (or at least aspire to).

I've never seen an Insignia just cruising along happily, always seem to be driving around with their pants on fire desperate to make that client meeting to sell some more carpet or whatever.

Anything with a VXR badge on it. Too many times I have had close shaves with these yobs.
And anything that is made by Citroen, middle of the road on a country lane sitting at 30 with a sticker saying the closer you get the slower I'll go.
ps off.
