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?

[MmeLindor]

Whoops, sorry Kali. I am having a SOH failure today, it seems.

[Gentleness]

I am beginning to think Audi and bmw designers either forgot to include indicators or positioned them in a stylish but inaccessible place. It's the only way I can persuade myself not to label their drivers as arrogant and incompetent.

[Piemother]

Yanbu.
I've got an Audi get out if my way!!!!

[RightUpMyRue]

DP drives an Audi A4. I think he's lovely and not twatty at all, even when behind the wheel. I feel sad that you all hate him

[cuteboots]

our sales manager has an Audi and hes not a twat or an arsehole. I think it doesnt matter what make of car you will always get people that drive like right twunts - YABU

[Darksideofthe80s]

We have an rs6 estate and a 330 estate so that obviously makes us total knobbers

In my obviously shite opinion it's always the corsa cocks hogging the overtaking lane, trying to climb in my boot, none of them ever choose the optional extra of having indicators fitted.

[Stinkyminkymoo]

Ooh Darkside, well jel of your rs6... Mmmm

[AbyCat]

DH drives an Audi. He is not an idiot. HTH.
Your argument is therefore flawed, and YABVU.

He has also asked me to ask the OP why she doesn't use her mirrors on a regular basis when driving on a motorway, then perhaps Audi drivers wouldn't have to flash their headlights at her to move over?

[KatoPotato]

I've got to say that all my recent 'shaking the tomato sauce bottle' gestures have been used on White Vauxhall Insignias...

Most white cars in general tbh... why is this the new colour of choice?

[IneedAgoldenNickname]

My ex, who is a twat of the highest order, drives an Audi. So yanbu IMO.

[ArielThePiraticalMermaid]

Audis, Mercedeses, and BMWs.

Mostly wankers.

[MrsDarylDixon]

There are six audis in my office car park. All driven by complete bell ends.

I don't by any means believe driving an audi makes you a twat. But if you are already a twat you probably lean towards a certain choice of car.

OP i could have written the same post! my beef is always with audi's and four wheel drives (of the range rover persuasion usually). they ALWAYS drive right up your arse, rarely give way AND rarely thank you for giving way to them. also, often to be found on their mobiles and wearing HUGE darkened sunglasses. my take on it is that they think they are more important than you because their vehicle cost more, who gives a fuck? where i live it is a hot bed for range rovers (west essex). they drive around so aggressively (where i live anyway). very materialistic where i live but i seem many smaller houses with one of these bastards parked in their small drive, point being that they ain't as rich as they would have you believe. i wouldn't drive one if i was offered it for free as i don't like what they stand for. dh wants to get an audi but i said noway!

[germyrabbit]

er i do use my mirrors but would anyone really like someone to drive dangerously close to them then flash them to get out of the way.

hth back at ya anycat

and i did say MOSTLY for the tenth time

[wintertimeisfun]

aby i completely disagree with your dh, he would say that wouldn't he. as part of my job i pretty much live on the M11/M25 & A1. the audis are near on ALWAYS the cunts that drive with bully tactics. appear from nowhere, literally doing 100 give or take, so fucking dangerous. i have everyright to overtake into the fast lane if i am going fast, i always check that they fast lane is clear before going into it but if some tosser is twisting in and out of lanes doing 90 odd and then suddenly appears up my arse, worse still flashing it is fucking scary and DANGEROUS. i am not a slow driver either, tend to do 80 in the fast lane and only use it when it is clear, i don't need to be flashed to get out of it if someone is coming up in a normal manner behind me as i look constantly in my rear mirror. i HATE AUDI'S, not the cars but the mentality of the twats driving them. i am sure the car is lovely althoughi think they are old man cars :)

[atthewelles]

There was an absolute wanker of an IT consultant in work today, strutting around shouting into his mobile, thinking outside the box, running things up flagpoles to see if they would fly and yes, his big BMW was sitting outside in the car park. I bet his wife drops Wanker Jr. to school in a 4x4 with sunglasses perched on her head.

[wintertimeisfun]

att :)

Erm, I think he's just proved himself to be complete and utter twat there rather than just an idiot.

YANBU. Like all cars, there are exceptions, but you see similar with BMWs (we always have the last laugh when it snows because it's hilly round here), Mondeos, Vectras, boy racers in Golfs and more recently, Passats. That's pretty much 90% of the 85mph nose to tail macho convoy we see on the A1.

We're also wary of yellow cars, because they're almost always driven by someone who seems to have the concentration span of a gnat and pretty similar movement patterns.

[BlueyDragon]

All recent incidents of twattish driving that I've seen have been by BMW drivers. Not saying that Audi drivers aren't capable of it.

The only groups of drivers who are universal cunts are those who do not use mirrors/indicators/eyes and those who use their mobiles whilst driving (conversations on hands free kits not included). Why? Because every near miss I've had on my motorbike, and DH's actual motorbike accident, has been with one of the above groups. And neither of us belong to the idiot group of bikers who think the road is their racetrack.

I'm off to get a sex change and some driving gloves, change my name to Fred by deed poll and forget my car goes like shit off a shovel. Still, as I'll only be driving at 57 mph I won't be annoying the OP in the outside lane. I love my Audi and try very hard not to drive it like an arsehole.

[atthewelles]

Abycat you have not done Audi drivers any favours with that post. Your husband sounds like a bell end.

[RedToothBrush]

YANBU.

Unfortunately.

[TheSitChewAceChien]

I'm not sure if YABU or not.
They are on my shit list though, along with Nissan Micras and Vauxhall Vectras (not jealous btw)

But sometimes people who are not wankers, turn into mild wankers after purchasing Audis.
Their car no longer becomes "my car" it becomes "my Audi" or, in the case of a friend of mine "my Audi car"

Why does that happen?!

[AbyCat]

DH doesn't drive at stupid speeds or tailgate (I wouldn't get in the car with him let alone let him take DS anywhere in the car if he did) but even I noticed yesterday when we were on the M20 that there were a lot of cars just sitting in the outside lane when the middle one was empty that could have moved over. If he is behind them for more than a minute and the middle lane is empty then he will flash them as they obviously haven't checked their mirrors to see that there is a lane of cars behind them wanting to get past. Nothing to do with doing 100mph, or tailgating them, just wishing that some drivers had a better general awareness of other road users.

And yes, I do realise this is all a bit tongue in cheek OP!

[AbyCat]

attthewelles, thank you, I'll pass that onto him.
