Had to Laugh!

Just driven home from work and had the pleasure of being behind a brand new 11 reg white BMW. Now if I were the cars owners, I would be taking it back to the dealer and getting them to check that the indicators actually work, as after approx 8 miles I never saw them come on once!! :rotfl:

    Was a gorgeous car, but why are they often driven by idiots?? He was a very selfish driver, going round several roundabouts and not once did he signal.

    And of course, the number on a BMW registration plate indicates the number of brain cells the driver needs to buy one. That driver obviously had to wait for March, couldn't cope with September:D

    The latest BM have the optional white line identification indicators? the vehicle when travelling along a dual carriageway or motorway saves electricity by only flashing the indicator once, when it's rear wheels actually cross the line as it turns onto the slip road, you have to be quick to spot it, the poor people indicate from 300 yards down, but the BMW only on the painted line, and only once...............not a lot of people know that ; )

    I've heard this as well, but in my own experience BMW drivers still seem to be the biggest idiots on the road, a lot of them seem to be very inconsiderate drivers.

    I work with a lady, middle age, pleasant to talk to. I had to go on a course with her and she did the driving. My god, she was a bloody maniac, it was like she had a complete personality transplant as soon as she got in her car! :eek:

    What do you think she drove? Yep it was a BMW!!

    they probably do this twice then - once as they pass from their middle lane (don't forget Bavarian car ownership immediately grants access to LTOC - Lane Two Owners Club) and again as they leave via the slip road.
    Don't try to teach a pig to sing - it wastes your time and annoys the pig

    It is blatant arrogance, they cannot lower themselves to help others.
