Soferii bmw: agresivi si ignoranti

[B.M.W.]

Am citit acum cateva zile niste articole despre soferii de bmw in general. Toti au o parere proasta despre ei in sensul ca sunt mai agresivi ca ceilalti, asteapta ca ceilalti participanti la trafic sa se dea la o parte din calea lor .. etc

 

Mai sunt cei care au condus mai multe masini la viata lor si la un moment dat au avut bmw. Prima impresie fata de celelalte masini este ca putina lume te lasa sa treci cand ai nevoie sa ti se faca loc, altii cauta sa se "dea" cu tine ca ai bmw, sau ca in momentu in care ai pus picioru in marca asta, ceva anume din tine te impinge sa le arati celorlalti ce poti tu sa faci cu masina.

 

Later Edit: Aici era un exemplu irelevant. Va las sa cititi cele doua articole

spatele meu era un 320d. Bineinteles ca am calcat pedala si am ajuns imediat la 100-110 .. si tot asa.

De ce bineinteles? :blink:

[B.M.W.]

treci pe acolo macar la 2-3 zile? toata lumea ii da acolo.. pana si batranu cu dacia mi-a dat un exemplu cand ii da :blink:

Nu, trec mai rar.

Te-am intrebat deoarece ai spus ca era in spate un alt BMW, de parca asta conta, de parca trebuia sa demonstrezi ceva...

[B.M.W.]

eu nu am condus alta masina inafara de bmw. ma gandesc serios sa schimb marca sa fiu lasat in pace. de cateva luni incoace ii dau mai usor si mereu se gaseste cate unu sa ma provoace.

Poate e doar in imaginatia ta? :blink:

nu trebuia sa demonstrez nimic. eu personal tai pasaju cu 120 km/h. asa fac eu si daca sunt singur.

Ok va las sa comentati. Nu e in imaginatia mea cand la 140 la ora cineva cu un "bolid" 320d se tine lipit de bara din spate intelegi?

In oras e cam mult :blink:

 

De ce nu schimbi banda, sa il lasi sa treaca? :)

[B.M.W.]

Poate ca nu trebuia sa dau exemplu asta care este banal. Trebuia sa subliniez mai mult cele 2 articole... Cine nu are exemple de genu asta inseamna ca locuieste intr-un oras linistit de provincie sau se culca seara la 10. Total irelevant exemplul meu. De ce nu era un Ford Focus lipit de bara mea?

[Tesio]

da soferii de BMW cu IQ sub medie au probleme de personalitate in trafic...ca sa nu zic cretini ca nu e frumos

si sunt foarte indulgent cand fac afirmatia asta

aici pe forum sunt numai oameni in regula la prima vedere>In traffic nu stiu cu cine ma injur nu stiu daca sunt forumisti sau nu dar in general sunt niste imbecili

Cred ca tine si de educatie si de inteligenta....in general toata lumea se grabeste d'aia e nervoasa si irascibila.Eu de ex nu ma grabesc niciodata...plec intotdeauna mult mai devreme la serv sau unde am nevoie sa ajung...deci niciodata nu ma grabesc.Stau calm in masina ascult muzica,mai admir o doamna mai vad lumea mai vad o tamponare...

Asta este foarte clar. :blink:

[B.M.W.]

traficu de zi sucks. te intrebi de ce mai ai masina si nu-ti iei bicicleta.

[Tesio]

bicicleta e o varianta buna...

partea proasta e ca risti sa fii omorat in trafic

Da, dar cum poti sa lasi pe altcineva sa te depaseasca, doar ai BMW :blink:

[Tesio]

vreau sa fac o completare ca sa fiu impartial....

soferii de BMW cu IQ sub medie de care ziceam mai inainte nu sunt singurii agresivi...mai sunt soferii de logan si de saracii d'astea mici tunarite si multicolore

Nu stiu dar cand sunt la volan incerc pe cat posibil sa fiu calm,sa nu ma dau jos din masina,sa nu ripostez...sa stau in spatiul meu personal cu muzica mea,si nu in ultimul rand merg pe deviza:te bagi ne busim,masina mea are Casco,o aripa noua un far nou sunt binevenite.

vb unui amic:de ce sa pun frana sa uzuz placuta pe banii mei....ma busesc plateste asig tot :blink:

Deci este un cerc vicios :)

 

Problema este ca nu sunt amenzi mari, asta este problema.

Sa fie date amenzi foarte mari pentru depasirea vitezei, numai asa se vor potoli "soferii", numai asa vor fi mai putine accidente.

[Tesio]

daca vrea sa imi arate ceva sa imi arate ce poate el ca om,nu masina lui....

intotdeauna am fost de acord cu amenzile mari pt viteza,indisciplina in trafic...daca ar fi dupa mine sa se dea amenzi de ordinul suteror de euro

[B.M.W.]

hai sa nu exageram. eu pot sa spun cu inima pe mana ca avand ca prima masina 316i dupa ce nu am mai condus altceva in viata mea mi-am luat o groaza de amenzi. aveam 9 puncte la un moment dat si crede-ma treaba asta ma potolit. nu circul cu mai mult de 80 - 90 in oras si asta atunci cand ma grabesc. am aproape jumate de an de cand conduc linistit si intr-o zi mi-am luat avertisment si 2 puncte ca aveam 70 la ora cand toti ceilalti participanti in trafic aveau aceasi viteza. probabil m-au oprit pe mine ca eram in bmw. le-am spus frumos si de la obraz ca la viteza aia lasi omu in pace si astepti sa prinzi altu cu viteza mai mare. mi-au zambut frumos si mi-au zis ca nu aveam viteza legala deci nu au ce sa-mi faca. eu zic ca politia isi face treaba

[Tesio]

total irelevant,am avut si eu Audi de 250 de cai care il conduceam la fel ca Ibiza...fara sa ma c*c pe mine ce masina am eu in trafic...

diferenta e in afara localitatii unde sare rau limita legala ca la dracu autostrada libera nimeni in fata ,nimeni in spate,ziua in amiaza mare nu poti sa mergi cu 130km/h aici sunt de acord

[B.M.W.]

“BMW drivers in the greater Los Angeles area were cited for moving

violations proportionally more than any other make according to

California Highway Patrol data from 2004. During the period of record,

3,456 cars were cited, and BMWs constituted 13.4% of these citations,

where as Mercedes only constituted 11.3% of the citations. “

An ode to the 320d

 

My dad always told me “Son, pick your battles wisely”. It’s a mantra I’ve followed and whether this was kicking the school bully in the shins whilst his mates weren’t around or folding your pocket kings when an ace hits the river, knowing when to make a move and when to back away has served me well.

 

At a recent wedding I got put on a table with a rather obnoxious man. Let’s call him “Jeremy” to protect the cretinous. Now I’ve travelled to various countries around the world and one thing always amazes me about tossers; irrespective of nationality, race or religion they always make themselves known very early into an encounter. Jeremy was no different.

 

I figured this unfortunate seating arrangement wouldn’t be an issue as the Shiraz was flowing nicely so all I had to do was sit through the meal and the (quite frankly excruciating) speeches. As long as I didn’t engage him in conversation, I could drop this plum and head for the bar the second the best man had finished stumbling over his notes. Jeremy had other ideas.

 

“I hear you’re into cars. What’s your wheels?” he asked. Normally I’m happy to talk for hours on end to any driving enthusiast but in situations like weddings, dinner parties etc. you don’t know who appreciates cars and who doesn’t. There are three possible answers to this question:

1. "Focus",

2. "Focus ST" or,

3. "Focus ST. You know, the one with the in-line five cylinder turbocharged engine sourced from the Volvo stable. It has massive mid-range torque for superior in gear acceleration blah, blah…"

 

Answering with option 3 singles you out as a bit of a nerd, not something you want to do at a social gathering. Option 2 might result in further questioning “ST? What’s that then?”. If they knew what an ST was they wouldn’t need to ask. If they don’t know then they really care about the answer and they’re leading you neatly down the geeky cul-de-sac that is option 3.

 

I nearly always opt for simple answer of “Focus”. The cognoscenti may then follow this up with “ST or RS?” informing you you’re now speaking to somebody in the know. Otherwise the discussion is over, move on, nice table display isn’t it?

 

I correctly predicted Jeremy’s “What’s your wheels?” was a leading question because as the “s” of Focus left my lips it was instantly countered with “I drive a Beemer”. “Oh?” I asked, trying to sound as disinterested as possible. “Yeah it’s the latest model, picked it up last Tuesday and cruised down in her this morning. It’s so fast you know”

 

Every sinew in my being resisted giving him the pleasure of pursuing this any further but somebody else at the table enquired “Which engine has it got?”. “It’s a 320D” Jeremy proudly announced. I should have guessed. That car is the epitome of pretentiousness and badge snobbery and everything about Jeremy shouted hollow and conceited, from his Premiership footballer’s mullet to his permatanned vacuous wife. I don’t understand how Jeremy et al can warrant spending £25k, or more likely paying the tax on £25k, for a poverty spec BMW when something as accomplished as a fully loaded ST220 sits within their budget. Yes, the BMW is rear wheel drive but do you think Jeremy cares about that? Do you think he even knows that?

 

Now I’d love to have started destroying Jeremy and his oh-so-fast diesel and suggesting other cars that he could have spent his £25k on but there really wasn’t much point. Plus I could feel Mrs TKF’s eyes burning into me. If we’d been Stella swilling chavs outside a pub she’d have been holding onto my arm with one hand with a kebab in the other shouting “Leave him, he’s not worth it”. But we were in a marquee, the Stella was Mount Bold Barossa Valley Shiraz and the kebab was a delightful poached salmon fillet. In this case a simple look sufficed.

 

I could also hear my dad’s words “Pick your battles wisely” softly drifting across the air like Obi Wan Kenobi. In this case I would have been arguing with stupidity and, frankly, I would have lost.

 

I was reminded of this encounter yesterday when I made the mistake of daring to venture into the BMW lane on the M40. Right on cue a blue propeller badged saloon was sat within inches of my bumper apparently trying to inspect the contents of my boot. The traffic was such that I couldn’t move over yet but as soon as the road in front opened up Mr Aspires-To-Middle-Management behind flashed his lights at me. Two cogs down and a short blast on the right pedal was all that was needed to dispatch the BMW which quickly became a dot in the mirror.

 

Further up the road the traffic slowed again and the BMW caught up, kidney grill filling my mirror. Once again he took up usual seat sniffing my exhausts and once again the traffic meant that there was nowhere for me to go. This time the car in front had barely moved into the middle lane before I got a full blast of main beam. Now you could forgive him the first time for not recognising a Focus ST or knowing what it could do. The ST is unlikely to even appear on his radar when speaking to the fleet manager. However, to flash again after what had occurred was just plain dumb. I guess it’s just a kind of Pavlovian response for Jeremy and his chums. Must. Get. By. This. Car.

 

This time around instead of giving him another demonstration for him to ignore I moved over. As he passed I noticed the telltale badge on the bootlid; Three-Twenty-Dee. I’d tried to make my point but sadly it had fallen on bluetooth headset adorned deaf ears. All he was doing was thinking about how great his presentation would be at the upcoming flange selling conference. All I’d done was wasted petrol.

 

I shook my head and wish I’d listened to my father’s prudent words “Son, pick your battles wisely”

eu conduc agresiv, si imi place sa depasesc pe banda din dreapta :)

 

nu ma pot abtine..... dar nu din cauza ca am bmw....cu orice masina....

 

Sincer nu pot face un drum in afara localitatii fara sa merg cu mult peste limita de viteza.... :blink: cred ca-i o boala asta....

Eu conduc hmm...

1. Agresiv (foarte agresiv) daca esti pentru prima oara la mine in masina si daca esti pasager :blink:

2. Sportiv daca ai mai mers cu mine cu masina

 

Parerea mea personala despre modul in care conduc???

Conduc sportiv, cu mult peste limita de viteza (pentru ca nu stiu altfel).

Sunt agresiv atunci cand trebuie sa fiu si sunt al dracului de agresiv atunci cand cineva face o greseala "intentionata" fatza de mine.

In rest, nu imi pasa. Am numar de TR la masina dar nu am fost claxonat niciodata in Buc.

Daca greseste inofensiv... asta e .. il las in pace.

Daca are Logan si se baga in fatza mea .. hmm.. il las in pace .. :)

 

Atunci cand sunt foarte grabit... e de groaza... am un stil din ala ciudat .. in care aproximez distante si prefer sa accelerez, daca se poate si sa trec, decat sa franez aiurea... imping totul la limita, DAR fara sa jenez pe cineva in trafic (adica nu sunt genul "lasa ca trec si eu iar ala din fatza trebuie sa ma fereasca")

Aaaa.. si merg cu faza lunga, ziua, si pe centrul soselei!
