I had a close pass last month near my house :eek:
Cycling along, I was overtaken near a pedestrian island by someone in a large 4x4 who just couldn't wait for 5 seconds. Luckily I anticipated the move as I heard the beast revvin up behind me, still gave me a scare though.
The private reg gave me a clue and Mr M confirmed the driver was one of his least favourite individuals from the golf club. :angry:
 
The first SUVs were pioneered by a designer and marketing genius Clotaire Rapaiile

He designed a set of vehicles to appeal to a certain type of driver.

These were the ones who sub consciously recognise they are poor drivers and that they will have accidents. The vehicle is then designed in away that ensures the other guy comes out of that accident worse than they do

Apply that theory to the Range Rover Driver and you will not be far wrong

Around here it is dirty old bangers, small vans, manky estates and the suchlike that give me concern when out on the bike. I am seldom troubled by nice clean well kept vehicles, as the owners of them seem to care more.
Agreed. Old cars doesn't matter if it gets cyclist blood on it. But Range Rovers are generally driven by twats. I have to be a bit careful as I have a big car but a) I drive nicely for cyclists and b) I often offer a lift to cyclists stuck at the roadside

My other "watch out" is any car pulling out of my local golf club, particularly if in possession of a saloon car. Double risk if hat-wearing.
 
One encouraging thing is I notice its rarely young drivers that close pass.
They are so pissed or off their tits on drugs that they see double so give you extra room as they pass...
 

There was once upon a time a large 4x4 called the "Shogun", however before this embodiment, it was sold for several years as the "Pajero"

Then they discovered that the reason for poor sales in Spanish speaking areas was that "Pajero" is slang for w@nker or to$$er

So there are people paid a fortune to have an oft times appropriate confession of their driving skills emblazoned on their vehicles


There are still many around in the UK.

I got close passed by a driving instructor in his work car last week... the odd Range Rover I get, but a p*ssing driving instructor?
Wanstead is terrible for bad driving instructors. And examiners.

Close passed by one so asked at lights if they thought was acceptable , then noticed the test paperwork. So asked examiner if he thought it was acceptable or a fail.

I was shocked by response .
