So who do you guys think is king of the road. Or more like who do you think see's themselves as king of the road? Gotta be 4x4 drivers for me

Lorry and coach/bus drivers for me. Especially those Royal Mail wagon drivers! They stop...... for no man

Combine Harvester. So bloody wide that everything just moves out of the way on the road lol!

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

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

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!

How is it that no-one has mentioned white van men yet!?

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.

its all about white van drivers....epspecially young lads who are in their company van, absolute t**s overtaking in a van on country roads, deliberately cutting me up etc..

Also all merc drivers are full time tossers imo

hehe i was driving home after having read this and one of these pulled into the middle lane to over take another lorry (i was in the outside next to it) pulled into a tiny gap between cars in rush hour and waddles along beside this lorry! I mean c'mon!!!!

So i have to agree with you there...

We don't all do that though

I felt like king of the road earlier on my way home from work, only being 5'6" and driving a big Nissan Navara

They're great aren't they?

My Dad has a grey double cab Aventura diesel which has been remapped. So much torque

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

yeah i drive one of the new transit vans, pretty nippy diesel turbo but i dont drive like a t**t lol

for me its all the above.

PS- i'm a white van man too and guess wot? It works

Only prob is my sainsburys merc sprinter's Ltd to 62mph and still managed to get a speeding ticket written out at 67
