to think audis are mostly driven by idiots

[germyrabbit]

everytime i drive on the motorway an audi is up my arse flashing me to move over. on crimewatch just now an audi driver ploughed into some pedestrians in a town centre.

what it is about an audi that makes people drive like morons?

[ComposHat]

cumfy aw that's brilliant!

[GreatUncleEddie]

It's a problem for me, I have to think hard before I set off and be sure to drive like a twat if I'm in the Audi, but not if I take the fiesta

[hazleweatherfield]

In my time on the road I've noticed its the model of Audi coupled with the type of driver:

Audi A1 = over 30, usually a mum with kids of school age/older, carefully and cautiously driven

Audi A3 = can be as above but if its older than 10 or has a driver under 21 it will be driven, generally, by an arsehole

Audi A4 = generally a company saloon. If it has a lone driver in a suit behind the wheel, will be inexplicably glued to the bumper of the car in front regardless of road/weather conditions.

Audi A5 = despite being amazingly beautiful and fast, always seems to be driven well (disclaimer: I do not own one but very much wish I did)

Audi A6 = old man's car. Will be sat in the middle lane of an empty motorway doing 57mph, driven by someone called Fred who belongs to the golf club and wears driving gloves.

Audi Q5/Q7/TT = driven by, with a rare few exceptions, wankers of the highest order with no regard to the personal safety of themselves or anyone around them

[OverlyYappy]

MMLindor thank you and sorry, I was a tad over emotional yesterday after I typed on here and took everything person... yeah my Dad's an idiotic wanker but I guess I went OTT when someone added a name on to him because I still love my Daddy

My Dad fits the Fred guy, he usually drives normal but when gets with his brother he turns into an 18 year old boy racer, he got his through a fluke windfall of money, so was his pride and joy.

[MmeLindor]

S'alright Yappy. Sorry that I hurt your feelings.

HA. Spot on. I am an A3 driver as you described, 'over 30, usually a mum with kids of school age/older, carefully and cautiously driven'

I'd add

A3 convertible - bought a car that she wanted, rather than one that she could fit a bloody pram in, doesn't care that it is impractical cause it is luffly

[MrsBethel]

OP: correct.

[FayCorgasm]

It's say it's BMW drivers round here. I used to have a BMW and it make me drive like a twat! I think it's because the engines are so good that you don't realise that you are going much faster than you should be and it's not just everyone else being slow.

[GregBishopsBottomBitch]

YANBU, Audi drivers hate me, always desperate to get my horrid little Picanto out of the way, i like to piss em off.

[QuickLookBusy]

Agree with WonkyLegs that these cars are favoured as company cars, so the idiots are probably trying to get somewhere too fast wankers

My DDs best friend was killed by a speeding driver.

Please don't speed, it's really really not worth it

[happymschicken]

I once worked on a well known motoring title and Audi and BMWs were affectionately called knobmobiles. I don't dare tell you what 4x4 drivers in cities were called.

However I should add I test drove a couple of Audis Abd they were a dream to drive.

[SpicyPear]

Urgh, hate these threads. I drive an Audi and a BMW very considerately thank you very much. I didn't become a twat the day I traded in my old Peugeot. In fact my current cars are much more responsive and therefore safer for me and other road users.

[germyrabbit]

i did say mostly pear not all audi drivers are like my op but in my driving experience most are. and i drive a ford

[GregBishopsBottomBitch]

I know female Audi drivers, never had an issue with them, its the Male, businessman Audi drivers that normally hassle me to move.

[Stinkyminkymoo]

I'm guessing that those that complain about being flashed to move over are sitting rather self-righteously in the fast lane doing dead on 70mph whilst leaving the 2 lanes to their left empty (because they are after all doing 70) and ignoring the queues of people behind them.

but what would I know, I only drive a proper 4x4 so am automatically classed as a cunt anyway

[VincenzaOfSaragossa]

My dad drives one. He's the loveliest person you could ever meet. So YAB completely U!

[BaresarkBunny]

I drive an audi and I find that I get more drivers tailgating me than when I drove my ten year old Peugeot 206. I don't speed which seems to annoy them.

[BrianCoxandTheTempleofDOOM]

OP YANBU!

I love composhat's quote about not all Audi drivers are Cunts but all Cunts drive Audi's - perfect!

I think this is also a north/south thing. Said as a northerner originally from the south, who drives a lot on motorways, the standard of driving as you get closer to London is astoundingly poor, inconsiderate and dangerous and mostly Audi and BMW twattish owner/drivers to blame.

Is a shame, I do like Audi's - very pleasant to look at aesthetically speaking.

[GregBishopsBottomBitch]

Stinky, it normally happens to me on a dual bypass, when im trying to overtake, i got some knobhead steaming up behind me, desperate to get me out of the way, even though im still over taking.

[atthewelles]

I find its BMW drivers here in Dublin (not all of them of course). But if you have some idiot tailgating you or parking between two spaces in the shopping centre to save their car from scratches, its invariably a BMW driver.

[atthewelles]

ps some SUV drivers run them a very close second.

[MaxPepsi]

I'd love an Audi..... But I want an estate car and I rarely see those driven by twats.

It's the lights on the Audi that make me think an arse is driving one. But same goes for BMW's, golfs and bloody saxo's!

I drive a focus. An oldish one. I regularly get newer cars of all descriptions driving up my arse trying to intimidate and overtake me.

What they don't realise, the knobbish twats, is that my lovely car has a shit hot engine under the bonnet and when they then try to overtake me on a duel carriageway or motorway they can't!

hahahaha, yes it does give me pleasure and yes I do realise I need to get out more!

[kalidanger]

The only Audi driver I am aware of knowing is an adulterer, one who will mention his DW's peri-menopause symptoms (she's only 44!) to try to garner 'sympathy' (?) shags or something. YANBU

Oh, now it is getting ridiculous. If we are basing our opinion on one person that we know, then I can say that all Ford Focus drivers are emotionally abusive arseholes who constantly put down their wife and children to make them feel better about their sad lack of advancement in their career.

[kalidanger]

Oh dear, I was kinda joking
