Little rant coming...

A number of times recently, I've had drivers (of all ages and genders) pull out on me and potentially cause a accident. I swear its because I'm driving a mini and they think we're stupidly slow or something. I go as fast as anyone else

It's really starting to annoy me!

[MOD+MINI]

I must say this happens to me quite alot as well and it is really REALLY annoying

[taffy1967]

Yes, I think we need to fit rocket launchers to our roofs.

Maybe even just a hand gun so we can blow their tyres?

[gregh55]

its annoying unless its another mini

EDIT = classic mini that is!!

I get this so often in my mini I assumed it was just the way people drive, but since I've been driving my other half's big clumsy tank company car, I've not had it once; starting to think people feel they don't need to respect smaller cars. It'd still make a mess of their shiny Merc if it planted itself in my door though

But then, sometimes people let me out and wave, or give my car the thumbs up, so it's not all bad

I've taken to making sure people know exactly what I think of their driving when they pull this little stunt.

[taffy1967]

Yes Minis have always been wolves in sheep clothing.

[LilacLilly]

Its forever happening to me when im in the mini too. So as long as i am on a road i know i go up there ass and over take when they are not expecting there to be room to over take. Then they don't see me for dust. Boy i love how mini's handle in bends!! lol

Best one is when you are at the petrol station, quite a long wait, and a car from the front pump leaves before the one at the back, and no other cars can get through! the gap between the cars and the pumps on the back row, but its no problem for a mini, had a lot of peope honk at me because of it, but they would be the first to do it if they could, so sod the lot of them! hehehe
