Anybody Else Noticed This In The Bad Weather?

[Urban Sports]

4x4 drivers driving faster than they would in normal conditions?

Strange!

Cocky bds will learn eventually

[Pcot]

Their not driving any faster........everyone else is driving slower!

[shipley]

I've noticed this...dug one of our cars out today and went out for essentials (wine and beer !!). Saw 2 Discoverys driving like arses. Tailgaiting in a housing estate. Really clever that one.

Dicks. Yeah yeah we know you have a 4x4 ... but that doesn't mean you have to drive like a tosser.

[pinchmeimdreamin]

yes especially down hill past cars parked on their side of the road when you are trying to maintain momentum up it ccausing you to stop with no chance at all of getting going again whilst his buttmonkey fellow warrior driver stops right behind you and then totally ignores the reverse lights on your car and sits flashing his lights expecting you to suddenly be able to magically get some grip on a ice covered hill with summer tyres on.

Im not anti 4x4 in anyway and would love an old landy right now but some of them are totally moronic windowlickers

[pacman1]

Yes, quite right. Two 4x4 drivers I gave way for today, far too fast and no wave of the hand from either in acknowledgement. Hunched over the steering wheel, eyes on stalks with a white knuckle grip on the wheel.
A bit of white stuff turns some of 'em into fecking tank commanders.
Gits.

Yes, I saw a Rangie Sport come bombing down my street at about 50mph. I see it regularly, judging by the sound it's a big V8. May have words with the inept numpty who drives it if I see him again; lots of kids playing down our street (it's a 30mph/20mph school zone).

So you admit to driving like a total moron in this weather ?

[TheBigUnit]

Bad weather or not, when was the last time you saw a Disco 3/4 or a diesel RR Sport not being driven on the motorway within a couple of mph of it's top speed? I think it is just the rest of us travelling slower.

Pistonheads - Stereotyping matters ....

Oddly enough, we haven't had any of that happening in my part of Lincs (except one X5 driver). Bigger issue with repmobiles and family cars ....

[LukeBird]

A fair few.
They all seem to be the road-orientated ones as well... Don't recall anyone driving like a moron in a 'proper' off-roader. Defenders, Land Cruisers and the like all seem quite sensible.
Had a chump in a Freelander try and drive through me earlier... after waiting for a gap in traffic to pull around an abandoned coach I tentatively pulled away, only for this guy to look at the gap and not the problems I was having moving my car! Yes there may well be a gap, but only once my car is out of the way!!!

Driving the BMW wicked [ok 118d SE] home in very very snowy kent today I was on a 70 limit dual carriage way doing about 45, outside lane packed with snow, ice and crap, inside lane was clear just damp, came up to a T junction I was on green so kept going, then while am still on green an old shogun chugged out from the left even though I was on green, it was on red we then went along at a massive 25mph on the inside lane but shogun had its hazzards flashing all the time

Happy left my car

I've barely noticed any weather. What I have seen is lots of abandoned cars which on any summer's day would be ticketed or towed. I've also seen idiots in totally unprepared vehicles thinking that they will be able to drive and down a snow covered road without incident. I've also seen at least ten (if not more) cars and drivers that have been grateful of a tow from my winter tyred, 4wd, leather-lined, heated steering wheeled car.

To be fair though, I drive like a cock most days. Perhaps I should buy an Audi?
