An attempt to bully me along or out of his way on Saturday by an idiot driving a 'Barbarian' crewcab pick up 4x4 but I was driving my Ford Cmax at the time.
My folks have been up this weekend... in a Tiguan. One trip as a passenger makes me wonder if that was him! Half the time aghast, half the time suggesting the indicator may help, etc. After that I made sure we were in my car each time. Hope it wasn't him. Don't think any worse than with their previous cars, but it is chunkier, which could count for something.
Noticed a few 'Barbarian' branded crewcab jobbies the other day on a long trip south and back, and those were often more agressively driven than the usual car that style, but those were perhaps shinier ones than their working cousins. One though, was a 'discreet' emergency services one I guess, rushing down M6 with blues flashing behind grill, so seems it was a sneaky bobbymobile or such.
I maintain that the most inconsiderate are generally the 'entitled' (mature and seemingly wealthy), whilst the most agressive are Deutsche status brands, both types of which can and often do overlap. Around our way though, there are a lot of very entitled in 4x4 beasts- the landed gentry hooning around the Forest of Bowland and such places, in convoys, lamps often mounted on the Landies amongst them, all other cars Range Rovers or similar valued 4x4s. Those lot show no regard for others what so ever. Guess they own the land, so they must assume they own the roads also.
