Normally when I'm driving and see a BMW, I scowl.
Why? All the people who used to give BMWs a bad name have moved on to driving Audis and Range Rovers.
They’ve moved on from there too. They all drive Teslas now. Probably so there’s some plausible deniability about their driving being cunty.
Down under (from my experience) we still have the classic BMW "entitled", closely followed by the Mercedes crowd. Volvo drivers have evolved into an eclectic bunch - but you can generally identify driving habits from the model - the older tanks equate to "sedate" (somnambulistic) while the sportier versions are more likely to be quicker off the mark. Tesla drivers, however, have been somewhat normal - not that we have a great many to observe. Nevertheless, ANY vehicle with a white hat on the rear parcel shelf will be travelling at a speed that would allow someone to walk in front, waving a red lantern.
I drove 1h30 on the Autobahn yesterday evening. The Teslas are mostly absent; think I saw 2. That woulda been 20 in Sweden. Still Audi and BMW in the left lane. If I with my shooting brake (which by no means is slow, just a bit more conservatively driven) am left there too long, I will have a An Entitled Driver up my bum quite soon. And that will be an Audi.
It took all the way from Travemünde to Hamburg for the Swedish over-representation to subside; that what happens when an entire ferry-load of Volvos gets dumped on the Autobahn 226 at Kücknitz.
Yonks ago, I remember driving a 100E Ford Popular back from London to Southampton on the M3.
Back in those days, the Poms were well into tailgating, with the worst offenders being "chaps driving Jaguars".
Downright terrifying, with the poor old "Pop" screaming its guts out, and a Jag bonnet emblem seemingly in the back seat.
Tailgating was not rare in Oz at the time, but I was surprised how 1970s Brits made an artform of it!
"Culture shock", I guess!
