Those lorry drivers who drive lorries with the creepy airbrushing on them and the multitude of lights on the front...they demand respect. I actually saw one today with Freddy Krueger airbrushed on the side :shock:

My Dad thinks he is, when he's driving his Navara to work. Oh, and anyone who thinks it's perfectly acceptable to drive around with their fogs on :evil:

And BMW X3 drivers seem to think they own the road. In reality they're driving a crap car, with giant black bumpers. It's like saying "I've wasted over twenty grand on a poor man's X5". Also, old people with National Trust stickers in the windows of their generic Korean estate car.

I could go on forever, but I shan't.

Idiot police drivers in merc sprinter riot vans seem to think there king of the road around by me. I was approaching a traffic calming system where the priority is with me. I saw a police riot van approaching from the other side, so I carried on as I thought he was gunna stop. But no, he had other ideas as he put his lights on and barrelled straight through. I can understand if they were on their way to an emergency but imagine my annonance when I looked back to see it pull up outside the local shop. Ahhh why do they think the laws dont apply to them!

X3's with private plates annoy me, especially if "X3" is included in them

I've just seen an X3 with "X6" on the plate. That actually annoyed me more so.

As for King of the Road, from the time I've spent out in the country the only time I've ever really had to pull over and stop was due to sheep or cows on the road.

In town, I'd be thinking a fire engine on the way to a shout.

I think they're cool, it's only the 2nd time I've driven one but I'm impressed.

Cruising at 100mph in 6th down a bypass is nice 8)
