Redundant here in the U.S., mildly surprised they’re the preferred vehicle for the angry, can’t afford a real motor crowd in the UK too. Would have bet on a Dacia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The preferred vehicle for angry (often catastrophically) bald men in the UK is by some distance the Audi, followed by BMWs and white Range Rovers. Teslas are making their way to the top as well. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the swing from BMW and Audi towards Tesla as the car of choice for company cars has occurred alongside a similar swing in arseholes driving them 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 The road between Abington services and biggar seems to attract a shitload of impatient f**kwits. Overtaking just before blind bends seems to be a common theme in those parts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overtaking just before blind bends seems to be a common theme in those parts. It’s a particularly shit road between Abington and Biggar. It gets better after Biggar, but if you’re heading to Edinburgh from the south just use the M74/M8. The stress of the A702 just isn’t worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A701 has slightly more passing spots than the A702 in my experience. But both roads can be a massive pain if you get stuck behind something slow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it’s coming out that along with their 10-year powertrain warranty and such, they are denying claims with such regularity that there has already been one successful class action lawsuit for denial of engine replacements where Kia was simply saying “that’s normal” to stuff as extreme as brand new vehicles burning a quart of oil every 500 miles. Then you have the steal a Kia/Hyundai with a screwdriver and a USB connector fiasco… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching them rage in the mirror a minute after the doors close while having a sip or 2 of juice and checking paperwork before pulling away fair brightens the day! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 The number of c***s these days that insist on driving their cunting wee car down the cunting motorway at ~50mph which forces the c***s in HGVs out to overtake them which then f**ks it for us c***s that are trying to actually get somewhere to earn a cunting living. If you're on a motorway in a car (short of wild weather) you should not be doing anything less than 56mph. f**k sakes man! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cant do at least 65 in a car, you shouldn't be allowed to have a driving licence that lets you on a motorway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
German Jag Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Maybe if actual driving on the motorway was part of the test (with training a prerequisite), then people might be more suited for motorway driving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just what we need, learner drivers on the motorway. ETA - and what about the Teuchters who only see "motorways" in documentaries?

ETA - and what about the Teuchters who only see "motorways" in documentaries? Autobahn experience is part of the german driving test. Prior to getting your Autobahn experience you‘ll already have to have shown an accredited training school, your ability on driving on national roads. I passed my test in 1985 driving around Shettleston for 25 minutes. Moved to Germany in 1990. Sent my licence to Flensburg (equivalent to DVLA in Swansea). Received a german licence in exchange. Wouldn‘t say that is a proper training for driving at high-speed up & down a motorway / Autobahn. A fairly high percentage of motorists who passed their tests ‚back in the day‘ would struggle nowadays in getting a pass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
