Very old post. But still completely relevant – if not more so.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A reader sent me this link<\/a> to an article in the Daily Mail. It identifies Audi drivers as the worst in the country at parking (it forgot to include \u201cat driving\u201d too, but I guess that there\u2019s no point stating the obvious).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone who has been following this blog (or the monthly ADI News version) will know that I don\u2019t have much time for Audi drivers. As long ago as 2008<\/a> I had begun to identify them as an exclusive bunch, i.e. exclusively a bunch of prats. When we had the first white stuff back in January this year there was an article in the newspapers<\/a> about a jackass in an Audi who had deemed it \u201camusing\u201d to drive at 70mph in thick snow, having cleared a tiny 8-inch porthole to look out of, and with almost a foot of the stuff on his car covering all the lights and other windows. Stories like this keep the fires well stoked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It comes as no surprise to learn that Audis (and therefore their drivers) have been officially identified as the worst parkers by a mile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two obvious reasons for this, which the news story doesn\u2019t elaborate on. Firstly, the typical Audi driver is an arrogant pillock who doesn’t give a toss about anyone else. Secondly – and aided immeasurably by that first thing – the typical Audi driver is also devoid of any tangible driving skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Audis are the car of choice for the average male chav if he can afford one. Immediately, therefore, you have a mind-set whose sole purpose is to go faster than everyone else, with no regard for speed limits, and yet with almost no experience with which to be able to read normal road situations, let alone read them at speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the things I cover on lessons is what signs to look for when reading the road ahead. Dealing with buses, for example, would include subtle signs like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
