BMW driven sensibly up motorway

Police have revealed footage today of a BMW being driven courteously and within the speed limit along a twenty mile stretch of the M5. The grainy footage clearly shows the driver showing consideration to other road users and consistently using his rear view mirror and indicators.

PC Gerry Strachan of the Avon and Somerset force said he had never seen anything like it before in his ten years in the police service. ‘We came onto the M5 at Junction 12 and we saw a BMW behaving strangely; the driver of the car was aware of other road users and even let someone in front of him when using the outside lane.’

The police followed the car for some miles, on suspicion that it must have been stolen by a non-BMW owner ‘There was no attempt at any time by the driver to drive any closer than three foot of the car in front. Even in queuing traffic the car made no attempt to beat the queue by diving up the fast lane to cut in, the driver obviously was not thinking for a moment that he was any more important than any other road user.’

A spokesman for BMW said ‘This is a one off incident and the public should not draw any general conclusions about BMW drivers from this one unrepresentative driver. Anyway, can’t chat too long – I’m driving…’

The new BMW models are quite unattractive, I must say.

That is so f**king true it is unbelievable. I don't like to stereotype but usually when I see a BMW around near where I am driving it makes me far more cautious because they are the most impolite bastards around and will try and cut you up as soon as look at you.

I am a courteous driver - in queueing traffic where someone is trying to exit from a sideroad I will normally let them out. Not for a BMW (and I would definitely have reservations about an Audi driver too).

"We started experiencing the good looking design shortage before most others," said one BMW insider. "We went to the car design warehouse to pick up some attractive shapes but they were all gone. And by then Staples was shut so we couldn't even buy a new ruler, that's why the 7-series turned out all wonky"

I had one of those behemoths behind me today on the way to work - whilst I was in a queue of traffic keeping a sensible distance this tosser decided it was a good idea to drive up my arse.

I wish my car could drop mines

The only BMW I like is the one driven by Andy Priaulx in the World Touring Car Championships.
