No, the menace on the roads these days in my experience is 'macho man' in his 4 cab pick up.
Every time I encounter one whether in my car or on my bike it seems to be driven by somebody who has had a frontal lobotomy. Reference the chap I mentioned a while back who over took me when I was stationary at a junction waiting to turn right. He nearly hit an oncoming car head on, cut across the junction and just missed a car coming up to the junction on the side road. On my bike travelling through a built up area (30 mph) approaching central bollards when I hear a loud engine behind me and a 4 cab flies past driving over onto the right of the road past the keep left bollards causing an oncoming car to brake heavily to avoid a head on! They always pass too close when I'm on my bike and always drive down country lanes in the middle of the road causing anybody else to have to slow or stop in the roadside. This morning in the Derbion Shopping centre Derby I was driving in to a space when I hear loud tyre screeching from the floor below . Then a 4 cab came onto this floor in a tail slide, then spun the rear wheels coming along the car park, skidded to a halt before again burning rubber to back into a space! Moron, no other explanation.

That’s my neighbour to a “T”, Ken. Great descriptive. Just keep yourself safe on your bike and when driving.
These cab pickups are used to bully other road users and bizarrely, I think these drivers think these vehicles are some sort of “status symbol” 🤣🤣🤣 delusional as well as moronic 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My wife has a Nissan Navara, but I can assure you neither of us drive it like the **** Ken experienced - I just thought I should add that since I live in the same neck of the woods and people may have seen a 4-cab pickup in the background of my pictures!!!). For starters while it is undeniably a large vehicle, ours doesn't have the stones to back it up, frankly it would struggle to pull the skin off a rice pudding! We only have it for transporting our two german shepherds, Maverick & Goose, when they need to go somewhere.

Incidentally, I fancied taking the boys on an impromptu trip yesterday while my wife was at work, so they got a ride in daddy's car (NOT the Z3 =))) ...
