Gotta say, its the Audi drivers that have taken the crown for biggest arsewipes on the road in the UK over the last 5 years. |

So long as its got nothing to do with house prices, cancer, benefits or immigrants its not too horrible. |

It will always be SUV or pickup and they are always be all wheel drive.
I drive a new model C3 and I love it when I pass stuck/abandoned SUVs in the winter. |

ps. I don't pass up stuck cars in the median, I stop and pull them out. Can your car do that?
Pulled a small HGV out of a goods yard before. Granted he only needed a little help to get traction on the ice but I felt like superman.
Problem is SUVs mostly are just big cars with bad 4x4 driven by people who have no idea how to drive in snow. A BMW or Porsche 4x4 are damn near useless off road and are simply school run mum cars. That's the pointless SUV we hate, not the range rovers and land rovers. |

You can pick up an old snatch defender for a few grand if you don't mind skipping on a few luxuries |

Oh yeah, I don't pull anybody, I just sit in one spot and crank them out. Like I said, my girl is a big girl, and she's got a of of weight on her.
See you have a proper 4x4 and use it for what its ment for.
My beef is with the big car for no reason school run mums who have no idea how big their motor is that tailgate you to the local shop where they proceed to park slightly over the line. After shopping they leave the car park making sure to use both sides of the road around every corner while making sure to never use their indicators and oh god I want to run them over in a tank. |

You could do with a snowbine harvester. |

After driving on them I can safely say its the most arseclenching driving I have ever done. You go to overtake a waggon, look in you mirror, see nothing, pull out and suddenly a 130 mph angry german in an audi is behind you. |

Seems they put corners in those roads only so you have something to do. Some are so long they have to account for curvature of the Earth...
Honestly I would just fly and rent than go through that kind of hell. |

Worth it tbh.
Its an option of two evils. Spend less, go on the forever roads that have nothing to look at and silly speed restrictions with police equipped with cloaking devices and service station that sell things like sreak cheese and gravy biscuits.
Or spend more on a flight, get felt all over by the fat security fella while you mate gets the hot one, get a hot meal on the flight which may or may not be chicken while the kid behind you kicks your seat and rages about not getting that stale muffin.
The car is cheaper but the flight is over quicker. |
