F**KING TW*TS in RANGE ROVERS !!!!!!

Of all the 4x4 types, these tw*ts always seem to give me, and i've noticed, other cyclists, the least space.

followed by sad fly boys in their 30's, 40's driving silver exec cars - it seems to be in their job description to be alpha male self-gratification artists, you know the type (i deliberately bought a peugeot 107; the smallest i could get bar a smart car - its my '**** you to the mid life bloke competing with other blokes rat race' and '**** you keeping up with the jones's'....looks hilarious next to my neighbors great big bmw 4x4...it bewilders him how i go to work in jeans and dont wash my car every sunday)

next is white van imbecilles.

surprisingly, of all the shoot drivers, i have found chav boy racers to be relatively decent and give me room when overtaking.

anyone relate to this ?

I've not found general 4x4's too bad lately but I agree with you about Range Rovers the drivers seem to be tw@ts in general, particularly in black with blacked out windows. The next on my list would be those little richards for brains neds/ chavs. Last night I was cycling after dark and got lots of respect from everybody else, including 4x4's until I got too a set of traffic lights on red at a well lit junction. Ned pull's up behind me and when the lights changed to green he tried to left hook me. He was a wee bit suprised that his chaved up nova couldn't out accelerate a humble bike but then again I was in the inside and because I held a primary he had to go the long way round. I've not really had any run ins with WVM lately.

BMW's seem to drive like tits.

How ugly do you have to be, to have tinted windows ?

I have a Freelander 4x4 and i'm the type with a "give cyclists room sticker"

for the record here its Black cabs
followed by sales exec cars

It's the new Discovery 3 drivers that seem the worst IMO.

Why don't they fit indicators to BMWs? I've never understood.

Indicators are an "optional extra" on BMW's when you purchase one.

Most folk go for the 19" alloys and leather and omit the indicator option on the order sheet.

The least considerate drivers can’t be classed by vehicle type
They are the ones that think “you shouldn’t be on the road” or “I pay road tax and you don’t” or simply aren’t paying atttention etc.
I’d far rather share the road with a considerate 4x4 driver than a 2CV driver not paying attention

/* In Hamsphire, they fit special telepathic indicators, because bimmer drivers know where they're going and expect you to f*cking know as well. */

Its part of the Dutch thing where there is no road markings, no clear priorities ect. I think the idea is that the confusion makes people go slower

What about a Robin Reliant driver not paying attention?

When I used to ride bikes with engines it was common knowledge that Volvos were the ones to watch out for. Something to do with the combination of self-righteousness and total invulnerability...

I dunno why, but I'd rather be hit by a 2cv than a 4x4!

not all 4 x 4 drivers...

I used to drive a 4x4 until my accident,which cost me my licence ( medical grounds ),, I used to swing right out to give cyclists and motorbike riders plenty of space and hang back from them so as not to cause them any concern until I was overtaking,,it used to wind up the vehicles following as they could`nt see why I had slowed down
This was not due to me riding a bike at the time as I was`nt,it was from memory of what it was like riding a bike as I kid and getting worried by how close cars etc came to me ..
It would be good if all drivers remembered what it was like to be a kid on a bike then maybe they would give more space to bike riders...
