Worst Driven Cars
Discussion

There are bad drivers in most cars, but I think every mini convertible I've ever seen has always had the roof up regardless of the weather, and on the motorway can't maintain a steady speed or seemingly leave the middle lane.
I was surprised by the MINI convertible on track at PHSS last weekend, it was lapping really quickly (roof down too). WD39 said:
Blondes in Range Rovers, on the phone.
Especially annoying as Bluetooth handsfree has been standard on them for years just the drivers are too self important to spend 30s setting it up. Mr2Mike said:

Anyone remember the days when at the head of any large queue was a Volvo 340?
Which seemed to be replaced by the Corsa. Latest model Corsa is an odd one. The 5 door version tends to be dawdling along, driven by the white hair brigade. Worse if there are 4 old women in the car as the driver is usually too busy talking to the other 3 to actually drive at pace. The new Viva is a likely candidate to replace the 5 door Corsa for this behaviour. The 3 door Corsas tend to be driven by lads who think they are Lewis Hamilton and drive 3ft from your bumper.
I used to curse the frog eye Nissan Micra everytime I got stuck behind one. Until I had one as a courtesy car for a couple of weeks. Slow rough and doesn't want to corner even on the slightest bends. The owners who won't be interested in driving anyway are probably terrified from their own cars.
For general carelessness and lack of car control, the Peugeot. I don't want to sound like Clarkson because I thought the bit they done on Top Gear was rubbish, but not without foundation. Generally the 207 or 307.
I've seen one go the wrong way down a one way street, bizarrely another who stalled turning into a side road because the road went uphill. So they just let the car roll back round the corner again onto the main road! And I've seen another indicating the wrong way.
Most likely to get bumped in a car park by, or just generally barged out the way. Any Range Rover variant. Usually driven by orange faced women with sunglasses, whatever the weather. Possibly so they don't have to make eye contact with other drivers when they've cut them up. Also round my way the Kia Sportage is the one you will most likely see nearly bumping parked cars in the supermarket car park as they try to park, although this could apply to any of that size SUV. People who have driven nothing bigger than a hatchback suddenly in something taller with less visibility!
Yeah, I was going to say 'all of the above'!
There's a trader near me called CEJ3000. He sells smaller cars, normally 6995 and under. The local OAPs seem to love him. They all pay screen price, he nearly fell of his chair when I tried to bid him on a car for the wife a few years ago!
Any car with his sticker in the rear window is going to be travelling at a constant 5mph under the limit regardless of conditions. Will brake for every bend no matter how gentle. Will brake if a car is coming the other way. Will stop at every Give Way sign.
See also: any car with a straw hat/Panama hat/cushion/box of tissues on the rear shelf.

I don't have many problems with the drivers small budget cars that people are posting. Sure, they tend to take their time at junctions but they dont cause many problems.
I see most bad driving from models that are trying to be sporty but are actually pretty average. Things like Siroccos, Celicas, small engined M-sport or S-Lines, etc. I often see these driving like plonkers by tailgaiting, performing risky overtakes, trying to keep up with real performance cars, etc.

ESSEX. The no.1 county for prosecutions since the BIB have had powers to charge middle lane hoggers, tailgaters, poor roundabout discipline etc. Cumbria had the fewest prosecutions (25).I see most bad driving from models that are trying to be sporty but are actually pretty average.

Also see, Scrap Metal Merchant's Transits
Scrap Metal Merchant's LDV Convoy tippers. Driven so badly because the vehicle itself is an absolute wreck. I went to string in a screen on one at work, stood on the passenger side step and went straight through it. Passed it's MOT only the week before apparently.Anything with a Private Hire licence plate stuck on the back. Usually seen blocking the road instead of pulling into a parking space, honking their horns at 11pm or cutting across traffic so they can go through the green light in the bus lane. On that note, why are they allowed in bus lanes anyway?
As previously mentioned, the Mark 4 Golf seems to reign for the crap modded thing driven by someone who has questionable taste.
For downright crap driving, in London it HAS to be Vauxhall Zafira (extra points if it has a private hire sticker in the window).
After that, Honda Jazz (a few years ago it was the Ford Fusion).

Surely these are up there. Much like the Picasso/Zafira driver but worse as they're much larger. Either blinkered MLM with no perception or understanding of anything going on around them, or overly aggressive dad's projecting their internal frustrations on other road users. I don't think I've ever seen one not sporting some damage.

Rover 75, Citroen C5 estate or brand new Rav 4. Usually driven by fat, cherry red faced men. Normally with toad esque wife in the passenger seat with a King Charles spaniel on her lap. Bonus points for a stupid "the closer you get, the slower I go" sticker on the back of the car.
I am Tall, not overweight, no dog, no wife (not even a fat on) and no sticker....but a Citroen C5.....bit wrong mate
