I used to think that German car glass was made out of a special material that made small Italian cars; especially brightly coloured ones were completely invisible.
The stereotypical Berk in a Merc' type. BMW drivers who need to use fog lights all the time because they've had the heads up their own backsides so long they're eyes are shot. Audi drivers who can only drive six feet at a time and need to be three inches from the back of your car because two seconds is a waste of their valuable time.
Then it became people carriers. Emasculated men driving a seven seat bread van with windows; absolutely no sense of self worth and suicidal driving style. The guys think a Citroen Xara Picasso is a Xara WRC car and drive their mate to a football match like it's an MI5 covert opp'. Women in people carriers who are used to smaller cars and have scratched every single panel, kerbed all four wheels and wonder why people keep flashing their lights at them as the drive obliviously to the fact they are three quarters across the wrong side of the road. Single (disorganized) mums who feel they have priority to break the speed limit, tailgate, overtake, jump lights, junctions and level crossings because they're late on the school run.
Now it's a mixed bag. Anyone under the age of thirty in a Nissan Micra is a take away delivery driver with three minutes to make a ten minute journey before the food gets cold. 4x4 drivers who know their cars weigh three Tons but still think they can stop in the six feet they've allocated from your tailgate. VW Passat drivers who will get out and threaten you with a baseball bat if you flash your lights to let them out of junction but as soon as you get out of your car run back to theirs and drive off like they're on a drag strip.
So from your observations what car are carp drivers in these days?
