I wouldn't blame the Macan.

For many reasons there appear to be more idiot inconsiderate drivers nowadays.

EVERY time I go out I meet some of these idiots. My "favorite" is the outside lane hoggers who will not pull over for any reason :roll: :roll: :roll:

Trade up to a Rolls Royce Cullinan, that will help!

Reminds me when one of my friends dads bought a RR phantom drop top when they were quite new. My friend said to his dad (who I’m friends with too) “that thing is F***ing obscene “.

Needless to say it only lasted a few months until he went back to a new bentley GTC!

Thanks all.
I’m on the school run again tomorrow so I shall endeavour to just go with the (traffic) flow and hope the I have a better journey.

I drive all over the country in my GTS, and havent really had any issues, as others have said idiots on the roads all over the UK, I just ignore them. You say you love the car so enjoy it, maybe those you encounter can only ever dream of having a car like yours, so that wee green eye of jealous is what they have.

Ignore them, its the best thing to do.

Cheers GTB

I have the Porsche front and rear dashcams and I don't even think about them now. They just turn on/off by themselves and record away ;)

If you drove a Subaru Impreza back in the day, you’d know what hatred was.

Could never overtake anything (no matter how safe and clear the road was) without the flashing of lights and obscene hand gestures.

Even had mothers stand in the middle of the road screaming at me to slow down (I was doing 20 in a 30) after a Mondeo had flown past them doing at least 40.

I would be happy if it was only BMW drivers however we also have "idiots in crap cars who won't let any fast cars or nice cars past", "idiots who are turning right in 10 miles :roll: ", "idiots who think that it is safer just to stay in the outside lane :roll: ", "idiots who are too busy on their phones" , "idiots that think that everyone else should be content to drive at their chosen speed" and idiots that are just too stupid to know the rules of the road.

I could go on :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sometimes if you are unlucky get stuck behind drivers who are all of the above!
