In several of the last few episodes of the BBC’s Top Gear, presenter Jeremy Clarkson has poked fun at Audi’s new car (I forget what it’s called) and their drivers. According to him, all Audi drivers are ‘Cocks’.As I was driving in to the office today, I had several driver experiences that made me agree with this summary.
For instance, here I am Tuesday morning, caning it down the right-hand lane doing an ‘acceptable’ speed for that lane (you know what I mean), and i get some compensating salesman in an A4 sitting on my tail flashing his lights. As soon as he sees a tiny gap in the wall of transit vans to the left, he puts his foot down and executes a manouever that would scare a psychopathic Finnish rally driver. A similar thing happened again today, this time with a silver behemoth driven by some corporate fascist. In watford, If I’m ever on the A41/St Albans Road roundabout and there’s someone there in an Audi, they’ll always pull up on in the wrong lane and shove their way to the front of the crowd as they rush to escape the clutches of the plebs in their merely mortal vehicles.
