I own a Baudi. One up from the Audi. We're allowed to drive on the central reservation, and instead of indicators we little neon signs that read "You should've tried harder in school".

Indicating at a roundabout is my pet hate. People simply do not know how to do it. If you're ever driving in Dublin, fail to indicate off then see someone waiting at the junction screaming "IIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDIIIIIIICCCCCAAAAAATTEE!!!" at you - it's probably me. I often arrive at work hoarse from shouting on the drive in.
Fair play mate. Everyone else waiting in traffic were probably doing it as a hobby. You actually have somewhere to go.
Nail on head with "all makes of car" it's not just the expensive cars at all. An element of jealousy on here makes it an Audi/BMW argument.
A lass I work with is the same as your mates wife, she took seven attempts to pass and won't even drive in the rain ffs.
It's ridiculous, driving tests are far to easy. Iirc you only need to perform 1 out of 3 manoeuvres and the test doesn't include driving on a motorway..
At the bottom of my street there is a couple of roundabout's real close to each other, must be at least 1 crash a week because people either dunno how to indictate correctly or who they should give way to.
That's me fucked then, I drive two of those and have owned another

shoddiest bit of driving i've seen lately was from a small car, a toyota aygo or summit like that. Going down nevilles cross bank last night, quite clear to see an ambulance coming up the bank with its lights on, everyone pulls over with their indicators on. Oh no, not this twat, decided to overtake the parked cars and have a game of chicken with the ambulance, causing it to slam its breaks on!
What I'm trying to say is, ban all small cheap cars. Cheap car = crap job = thicko = shouldn't have a licence. ...

I did mate, to the pub. it was either that or burn a hole in the ozone layer going around the heath. I was actually doing humanity a favour.
as an aside an alarming new hobby on London seems to be to turn right in the left lane at roundabouts.

Anyone that drives too close to the car in front is an utter cunt of the highest order, no matter what car it is.
The biggest cause of crashes going. Factish

Do you really think people are jealous of Audi drivers? White van drivers are just as bad on the road. I can afford an Audi but would never get one. Maybe their reputation will recover the way BMWs has, and could then be tempted they are nice cars.

You can afford one, you've admitted that they're nice cars and indeed would be tempted to have one but won't because of their 'reputation'?!

Jealous over an Audi?
They're the dullest cars on the road, sold by a company that is very, very good at marketing.

As I'm onto my 3rd Audi I fell as if I can answer your genuine question . I use my indicators all of the time . I check them daily to make sure they are working correctly and they do cos they're German . I suggest next time you take to the road you let your guide dog drive . He'll be able to judge the actions of other drivers better than yourself as he isn't so bigoted . Hope this clears things up for you .

The stupidity of your point would be better realized by doing one simple thing. Understand that I would 'get my little car out of the fast lane' if the roads I spend virtually all my driving on actually had a fast lane to get out of. Sadly town roads don't actually come with a fast lane. I don't know if you have noticed this but inner-city and town main roads do sadly only have one lane. You can see why larger cars intimidating smaller cars who are considered inferior by drivers of big, gas guzzling, fanciful, ostentatious, luxury saloons like Audi's is not only scary and stupid but dangerous and reckless.

I tell you what, the one I drove last night was lovely and smooth, but I guess that's what you get with a 3 litre engine. I will be using it more than me other half if we get it.

I wouldn't no.
Yes because getting in a car and driving should not be a chore, and I think that the attitude dished out to Audis by other drivers would make it so. I would envisage similar scenarios to when I had a Civic Type R - other drivers thinking I was a nob when really I'm just a normal driver who likes a bit power on a clear road. I'd rather just blend in on the road now like.You can afford one, you've admitted that they're nice cars and indeed would be tempted to have one but won't because of their 'reputation'?!

More to do with the driver individually than the mentality of Aygo drivers as a whole.
And making sweeping generalisation's like that is frankly stupefying. Small cars are better. They cost less to buy and to run from the point of both fuel and repairs. The insurance is lower on a small car than a saloon car. I paid last September just over £700 for the period 2013-2014 but driving a BMW it would be a whole lot more. I would be still paying a four figure sum. They are more nimble, agile and maneuverable which means less time waiting for them to park. They have better mileage IIRC. There is loads a small car has over a large, fancy saloon.
