I'm not one to generalise or discriminate, but a fairly amusing incident this morning which involved a middle aged gent driving the aforementioned vehicle. 8.30 am tootling along in heavy rush hour traffic on a dual carriageway coming up to red lights. Traffic bumper to bumper. This chap must have become impatient and spots a gap on the inside lane. He then proceeds to undertake a couple of vehicles in the outside lane as he must have seen a gap to pull back into in the outside lane further ahead. Anyway, the gap closes ( about 2 or 3 cars in front of mine) and he has to slam on, smoke and screaming tyres included and ended up inches from the back of a very large fuel tanker, quite sideways. Could have been curtains for this chap. Well I think he was left a little red faced as all around started honking and shaking the coffee beans at him.
Anyway, my point is, pretty much every third car you see around my way is a white golf R, and they seem to be either driven by absolute helmets, with little in the way of control, who seem to have something to prove or are crawling along lane 1 of the motorway at 55 mph trying to get 30 mpg. I'm sure many are driven by responsible petrol heads who want a quick practical car, but I have noticed this trend over the last 12 months. I hope this fella has learnt a lesson anyway; take it to the track, that sort of **** is not for heavy rush hour traffic.
Safe motoring all!
