Doesn't matter what you drive at the end of the day we all reliant on 4 tiny patches of rubber for safety. Best brakes or most power in the world won't help on black ice.

What is it about Audi drivers these days? I'm sure there must be some decent Audi drivers, and no doubt on TM too, but they're getting harder to find. Even thought we have a TT in our fleet it seems to be the saloons particularly that are driven by complete morons. I used to have Audi saloons myself years ago but they were a better class of driver then! I used to drive AUDI (but that was before it became "the new BMW") and I have the same rather sad experience. Too many wannabes with too much money... or not...

What is it about Audi drivers these days? They have taken over from BMW drivers as those who drive with no regard for anyone else. In my "Company Car Thoughtless Idiot" ranking it is now: 1. Audi 2. BMW 3. Mercedes 4. Jaguar 5. Range Rover 6. Lexus 7. Everything Else

I think a good few drivers today do not know what black ice is and feel because the TV adds have brain washed them there car can just speed along over anything . Would not be surprised if they thought black ice was a cocktail you purchased in a night club.

It is so great that UK Morgan owners are not narrow minded when it comes to other cars than Mogs when they seach for idiots.  At least we are perfect characters when driving our Morgan cars ( while of course a 4/4 owner suffers poverty while a +8 driver is a Porker wannabe and an Aero person actually compensates fo something else and M3Ws are maniacs and.... uuups, should not do prejudiced ratings)

I think they've taken over from the old days when it was "Cavalier SRi"s that were the weapon of choice for "Regional Sales Managers"! When I was still in short kecks, the weapon of choice was the Rover 2000.

Would not be surprised if they thought black ice was a cocktail you purchased in a night club. It would make a great cocktail. I hope it contains Dandelion & Burdock.

Interesting threag, in Germany I see the same development. Audis (in the total view) have taken over the place of BMW in terms of aggressive driving style. So many boring cars out there...

My experience over the Christmas period was that most f the idiots on the road were driving people carriers full of kids.
Seems a baby on board sticker provides them with some sort of force field as they constantly trying to get into spaces that don't exist.
