Why is it always the kind of person you think it's gonna be? I mean, always. One can match the level of inconsiderable idiocy from car models alone.
Imagine knowing you're wrong and persist and insist this much in continuing to do the wrong thing in front of everyone, so that everyone can behold the thing that everyone knows that is wrong for you to be doing, and you still continue to do the wrong thing that you know that everyone knows that you know that is wrong to do. No? Hurts your brain, doesn't it?
Now... Why is his license plate blurred in the video? Does this level of inconsiderate behaviour deserve that level of consideration in return?
Especially when he read it out loud lol
Thank you for pointing that out to me because I really missed that.
That does make blurring the license plate hilariously futile. Well, unless people need to go get their ears checked or cleaned like me.
Thanks again. You gave me something to laugh and something to worry about.
Cheers.
And why doesn't that reg no show up in the MOT history search?
Did he manage to crash and write it off before it needed an MOT?
UK privacy laws. the driver may have had an attorney come after the biker and clean the MOT. This seems like malicious compliance on Mikeys part to me...
Now I'm wondering if the carbrain is someone "important".
Edit: just checked the YouTube video, it's fully blurred now.
My observation is that the more expensive the car, the more entitled the driver.
It's Science: the fancier the car, the shittier the driver.

See? It's not bigotry - it's observation.
Audi were running billboards a few years ago with the slogan 'Born To Lead' - I thought to myself 'is that why they never let you merge in front of them?'
I don't like making generalisations...
But...
I agree.
There is absolutely an observable correlation there. And mentioning exceptions will only prove the rule.
I like cars, and even some luxury cars...
but it takes a special type of person to purchase a car that's 2-3x as expensive as a basic commuter to own and costs 2x to operate.
Think about all the Hellcats you see (not luxury... but)... 70k and under 10mpg for a fuckin 2 door
Yup. It does, doesn't it?
I know people with a lot of money to their name who buy second hand just to get around, and people with not much that end up with barely a cent to spare because they're paying a loan to own a car they couldn't really afford. Go figure.
"It takes a special type of person"- as you said.
Also, my comment wasn't a dig at people for liking or enjoying cars at all. It's about specific ones and how they're being driven around... we see them around right?
It's the same with motorcycles to.
The problem is never the vehicles themselves, obviously, it's the idiots that get drawn to them and ruin what others might enjoy in them as well.
