Another bad BMW driver

nicko44 · 07-29-2011, 01:45 PM

Saw this clip on AOL this afternoon - it certainly won't do anything to improve the reputation of BMW drivers.

Looks as though maybe the motorway is in Germany. Clearly the BMW is to blame, however I couldn't help feeling the camera car (or van?) could perhaps have been hogging the outside (left) lane and maybe this caused the undertaking. Maybe he should have stayed in the middle lane for a little longer, and then moved out to overtake the car in the middle lane when he was a bit closer.

Camera car is ALSO to be blamed....he was cruising in the wrong lane...

EXSKIN · 07-29-2011, 03:43 PM

Not germany, no yellow line on the outside lane. And I didn't see a focus st undertake 4 times on my way home yesterday,no only bm drivers do that.

dangerous drivers are in every make of car.

Good job I say, that shit was hogging the BMW lane.
Nice to see the BMW's traction control working well.

In general any car which costs more than about £25k new, I find the drivers usually don't do anything stupid. It's the cheapie mass consumer cars where people can sometimes drive... not that well.

chris330D · 07-30-2011, 02:47 AM

Agree the camera car was lane hogging but the BM was going for a gap that was never there. Spectacular fail!

You should see the amount of idiots in London almost got rammed by a new cl600 yest and regularly get cut up by rangies ( more than often it's women)

Ahh yes, I forgot about Range Rovers. I give them a wide berth. Statistically I find they are likely to be moronic fu****s.

Not a snipe at bmw drivers, but i find a lot of MPV owners seem to have frustrated racing drivers on board-probably pissed off that they've had to invest in a 'practical' car!
Saw a driver of an 11 plate 3 series return to his car yesterday in a shopping centre-to find the brand new S max parked in the space in front,had been reversed straight into the front of his car and abandoned,still attached to the BMW.
The thing is,the S max had rear parking sensors...

Looked alright to me, the sooner people learn to get out of the way of BMW's the happier everyone will be!

MEGA · 08-01-2011, 06:54 AM

BMW was a tool and a nutter BUT that camera car was in the wrong lane completely.

one of the best comments I've read for a while...

Teutonicdriver · 08-01-2011, 11:28 AM

The camera car was overtaking in the correct lane. You can see this was on the continent or USA as the other carriageway is on the left... Look at the bridge which spans both carriageways.
