Title: Worst driven cars?
Post by: Dave J on June 14, 2015, 05:10:16 pm
As above - to get a bit of discussion going on the forum - what are the cars that you tend to see most often with drivers that have terrible standards;?
Mine tend to be;

Nissan Micra
VW Sharan, Ford equivalent / Seat Alhambrahhh...
BMW 1 series
BMW 3 series
Nissan Juke
Toyota Avensis
Any Mercedes Taxi cab

I tend to give anyone driving these cars just that bit of extra room as they are bound to do something unexpected...

No offence intended to anyone on here who has a people carrier, but I always find myself getting cut up, tailgated or general near misses thanks to some moron who secretly wanted a GTI, but his missus told him to get a practical car.

When driving the Tiguan, I tend to find it is like a red rag to a bull to drivers of them Nissan cashcow things that so many have in the north east.

People carrier drivers are probably so aggravated by half a dozen screaming kids in the car that they don't realise how badly they often drive.
I tend to back off from cars that seem a bit erratic, or get by them as soon as it is safe to do so.

Yep, the people carriers with the little drawer next to the passenger seat for the wife to store the driver's bollocks...

I couldn't be without my 97 seat alhambra.

Spanish drivers are bad so having a battered people carrier really helps as i don't care when it gets bumped on a daily basis.

around my way it's always in a Prius (typically with a taxi plate) that is driving badly.

This exactly.

Regardless of marque, the drivers that approach a roundabout/give way, looking straight ahead, slowing, still looking straight ahead, slowing.... STOP. Then look right. It's great to be behind those guys.

Since the demise of Rover and Daewoo, I stay well clear of anyone in a hat.  It doesn't matter what sort - floral bonnet, baseball cap (either way round) or trilby - they're all bad.

2010 Audi S5 V8 - Until i drove it I couldn't imagine you can have so much understeer in a 4x4 car. Felt like a cow was on the bonnet the whole time.  :signLOL:

Rundown (dying) cars that guaranteed don't have the stopping power to stop in time, trying to get in my boot!

And even when I floored it to get some distance he caught me a few mins later to do the same...  :signLOL:

After my recent road trip down south.

Avoid anything with french or italian plates with an overloaded boot and roof rack.
