It makes my blood boil! They drive their big childcrushers whilst on the phone, they tailgate other smaller cars, they use enormous amounts of petrol, they block up roads, they look threatening...how can people choose to drive something like that? Do they have ha a selfish gene, do they think they are just better than other people so rules don't apply to them, or are they just thick?

(NOTE this is only about town drivers, i appreciate that they are useful in the countryside).

Sometimes, I think Jeremy Clarkson is winning.

In fact women who drive 4x4s around the town are now going to be called 'little princesses'

And here was me thinking that the stereotype that most 4x4 drivers were bored housewives with nothing else to do but brag about how much their DH earnt/colour of their credit card/how much their home improvements cost was totally wrong.

Silly me.

And now, the congested roads of the UK, anyone???

a house in glencoe, you say? how charming. and is it always occupied?

Aitch · 06/03/2008 23:11

kid you not, by the way, me and dd nearly got run over by some big fuck-off 4x4 pulling a U-ey outside my house today and then as we walked to nursery i observed some big Suzuki thing zoom right through a flashing amber light while there were still people on the crossing. the driver had to pull into the cycle lane and part way onto the pavement to do it, right enough, because the other traffic on the road had stopped.

i thought of this thread and pmsl.

and thommy, no offence but a toyota rav thingie is a diddy 4x4 and not really the source of the complaints on here. although i'm sure your dh is a magnificent caring brute nevertheless.

Oh I didn't realise people had issues with only the BIG 4x4s. If RAV4s are excluded from all this 4x4 hatred, then maybe my little 4x4 (freelander) is too!

Aitch · 07/03/2008 00:53

actually, i retract that. i only don't have a problem with teecee's diddy car. the rest of you are going to hell in a handbasket.

"I just hate drivers! Except for me who is perfect of course! "

Sheesh - nutter!

LOL Aitch. As a drove my "4x4" today I too was laughing, and if anyone has driven a toyota rav4 you'll know why! And I did also smile to myslef as I watched a woman in a mahooosive black range rover tried to reverse out of the way of a line of traffic.
