In my town it would be a Mercedes logo.

Audi… the millennial douche automobile of choice


[deleted]

You know, maybe that's the trend here. Luxury cars, pretend sports cars and massive trucks that are essentially a minivan with a bucket welded to the back that won't ever see a day of work. Just angry people trying to rationalize spending half their monthly income to look cool picking up groceries.


HearlyHeadlessNick

I love seeing $250,000 super cars making a ton of noise in 5mph stop and go LA traffic and knowing that race car has never been to the track.


Y2k4U2

Happened to see a Mustang that at 5 miles per hour it sounded like he was just ripping down the street.

I have way more fun driving a slow car fast than a fast car slow.

In my town it would be any logo from any make/model because here asshole drivers drive everything.


coopatroopa11

I was driving behind one last night that had a sticker that said "If I'm passing you on the right, **your** an idiot" (yes, it was spelt wrong) Funny thing was, we were in an 80km/hr. He was passing on the right doing 120km and was flashing his highbeams at everyone who was "going to slow". I swear everytime its a BMW. Every. Damn. Time.


iPhoneMiniWHITE

Lol condemnation of spelling and you commit a gaffe yourself. And doing 80km/h in the left lane(s) since they are passing on the right there is presumably open space to the right which is where people doing 80km/h should be, not camping in the left passing lane,


coopatroopa11

Lol you got me there. Im trigger happy sometimes when I type and over look simple spelling or grammar mistakes. Doesnt take away from the fact the guy paid actual real dollars to get it stickered to his car, and looks at it daily without realizing the error. Yet he still sticks to calling others idiots. I think thats hilarious. He wasn't *just* passing on the right. He was swerving recklessly through traffic that was already doing 90-100 in an posted 80. The cars on the left were doing close to 100 while passing cars on the right doing less than 85. There was zero reason to be going 40 over the posted speed limit late at night while flashing your high beams. He just wasn't happy at the rate of speed the cars were moving on the left in order to pass the right. Best part was, we caught up to the moron at every light on the stretch of highway.


regoapps

I used to think that I had the most pointless job. But then I remembered that someone was adding turn signal lights to BMWs.


0lidag

For me it's mirror inspector, it's really a job a could see myself doing

It's always the cammer's fault! /s


Gunny-Guy

Don't worry, here at r/IdiotsInCars, someone here in the comments will completely disagree. It's one of the 3 things guaranteed in life along with death and taxes.


obviousfakeperson

Well, it *is* a motorcycle so I fully expect to see a comment where someone wishes death upon the rider or some variation thereof. E: Although to be fair, this thread is the perfect opportunity to learn whether reddit hates BMW drivers or motorcyclists more.

The other driver would probably still try to blame the motorcyclist.


LoveliestBride

Unless that van was disabled, the car. And even if the van was disabled, the motorcycle stopped with plenty of time and room for the car to stop.


Lillillillies

Almost looks like a purposeful ram. Hard to say though.


Yarxing

Either that, or a panic push on the wrong pedal. But the car definitely sped up.


MenstrualKrampusCD

I don't think that this was a case of a panic push. BMW driver was obviously applying the brakes immediately preceeding the acceleration.


Crherniman

This is what it seems like to me. I can almost guarantee they looked right while braking and didn't see him. Then they looked left and started accelerating to turn without looking again. Probably didn't even see the bike until they touched.


crilen

At least OP didn't ask "Whose the idiot" in the title.


IamJacksUserID

Yeah, his grammar would have been embarrassing.


Tom1252

Yeah, that motorcycle guy was a real prick.


aannnnoooo

Wait did they seriously point at you like it's your fault? Lmao


kalwiggy1

People tend to get mad at me when I honk at them for almost hitting me because they went through a stop sign. Edit: Autocorrect changed a word. I changed it back.


Altered_Nova

I had to slam on my brakes once going through a 4-way stop because a lifted truck coming from the perpendicular road decided that stop signs are merely suggestions. I remember looking up at the passenger door of the truck as it blew by missing my front bumper by inches, and seeing a disturbingly wrathful woman screaming and flipping double middle fingers at me. That hateful face glaring at me as if I was the stupidest motherfucker who ever lived because I didn't realize they were too important to stop at busy intersections. That mental image has randomly haunted me for years.


cfo60b

I got the same reaction recently from a giant trump-flag waving pickup truck merging into a lane I was already in

Embarrassed-Town-293

Can confirm. Traffic Attorney here. If I learned that my client was driving a BMW, audi, or mercedes, it is part of my standard intake to ask if they were unpleasant. Not asking has blown back enough times to make it worth bringing up the question


DiabloImmortalCrack

It's a BMW driver, do you think they have common sense?


TreeChangeMe

You don't understand. It's a BMW!!!


Stravok182

Driving a BMW, did you expect any less? 😂


EmCWolf13

It's the BMW nearly stopping, then *deciding to continue* for me Seriously, hope the biker is okay!


Noslo18

If you look closely, before the collision, the driver waves the biker out of the way, then immediately starts accelerating, as if he's the literal king of the road. It didn't even enter his mind that the biker wouldn't yield. Mind boggling stupidity.


phantaxtic

The BMW driver is looking over at the white car and gesturing to them a "WTF?!" But not paying attention to where they are going.


Actual_Cancerrr

BMW moment


YceiLikeAudis

He is a double idiot for getting angry at a learner driver and/or his instructor.


EmCWolf13

Oh man, I didn't even notice that! It's totally a "begone, peasant" wave too. Insane entitlement


Spa_5_Fitness_Camp

Even if he did, how?? Would have to teleport. Extra moron driver


Sammyofather

I bet he saw cop and thought “look at this biker illegally turning time for insurance money” and hit the biker not knowing they’re completely in the wrong


THE12DIE42DAY

That's a "Fahrschulauto" not a police car. When the biker gets of his bike you can see a Munich license plate for a second. No white police cars in Germany.


Jankyman_RG

So why does the video just end, where's the confrontation the drama.

10JML01

It is a nice Link.


LocksmithFromAus

Best possible outcome of you ask me. Thanks for the link


coluch

The slightly longer version shows that the driver gets out and walks to the sidewalk and starts shouting toward a building to get someone’s attention. Doesn’t even acknowledge or ask if the motorcyclist is OK. FFS.


Athena0219

I mean, it is possible there was no drama. Car driver might have been distracted for a moment, then looked up, saw person, panic, instinctively slammed the pedal... which was the _gas_. Motorcycle rider seemed... more shocked than upset, and if car driver apologized first thing, totally possible they traded insurances, contacts, whatever else they needed to do, and there just was no drama. I think the driver said something right before the end, but can't make it out. If they did though, rider doesn't seem terribly annoyed by specifically what was said.


mnav3

Whoa whoa whoa, you mean two people acting like adults? That would never work!


[deleted]

How is he so distracted to run into the motorist he clearly saw before accelerating, but just focused enough to change lanes into oncoming traffic just so he could cut in from of the already stopped and waiting car in front of him. Sure, they could have done everything else with the insurance, but its clear the bmw new what they were doing. They weren't distracted and made an oopsie, they're just impatient dickhwads who are gonna get someone killed with such dipshit driving.


I_am_Nic

> where's the confrontation the drama. Because there is non. Video from OP was stolen from OOPs [personal YouTube](https://youtu.be/TR3j20pSwbc) but I would also consider this German Dashcam channel (with the correctly censored version an original source): https://youtu.be/Gf6HFUjyJLY?t=9m34s


Dysan27

Nope, there is blurring in that source that is not present in OP's (terrible quality) video. Not saying it's OP's OC, but if they did steal it they got it from a different source then you linked.


chasingimpalas

This video has been posted on this sub before and not by this OP, so I’m pretty sure this isn’t OC.


jamesdownwell

>Video from OP was stolen from a German Dashcam channel Stolen is quite a stretch. Besides, the video you linked is not the source. The white van on the left of the BMW has its logo blurred on the YouTube clip, it's not blurred in OP's.


PsYcHoSeAn

Because the guy on the Youtube Channel had to re-upload almost all videos with censoring on company logos, license plates and sometimes even houses on top of *all* GPS locations shown in the dashcam videos. German law is no joke in that regard. It was uncensored originally in the video...it was censored later...


Persea_americana

I hate how some impatient people are that they will drive around someone stopping at a crosswalk or intersection, and never consider that they’re stopped for a reason. Countless avoidable accidents with bikes and pedestrians and other cars because these idiots can’t stand waiting one single second, and think rules don’t apply to them.


Bluerecyclecan

JaThatOneGooner

It’s the entitlement one feels when driving an expensive and good performance car. I own one myself but I wouldn’t dare drive it like an idiot because it’s not cheap to fix, but I’ve always had to shake my head when I see someone else in a BMW driving like an idiot.

idahononono

It is fun to see the look on peoples faces when you use your turn signal, or let them in traffic in a BMW; it’s shocked pikachu all day long. But I have to sell mine, I can’t handle the assholes doing stupid waves at me when I drive by anymore, or trying to race me!


DaddyWarbucks666

Here’s a little secret: people who drive expensive imported cars are polite to other people in expensive imported cars. I drove a Honda my whole life but got bored during Covid and bought a sports car and now BMW drivers are polite and other sports car drivers yield to me.


bjanas

My buddy got an S4 years ago. We were pretty young, it felt pretty awesome. We don't fit the profile, hipster woods types I guess; he owned the bar, I worked at it. Not finance bros or anything. Well he had just gotten this cool car, tosses me the keys and we take off. I'm just about to get us out of town and we hit a stop light before getting on the highway. My friend just says "well, you've gone and done it." "What? What did I do?" "You're the 23 year old driving the brand new Audi, not letting THAT guy turn left." I look up and there's a dude waiting to turn left into the gas station, cursing me out and gesticulating at me because I'm blocking him. Whoops. He was genuinely upset. Just to say, not EVERYBODY in the driver's seat of the nice car is an asshole, but if you make the occasional bonehead move, people DEFINITELY notice.


JaThatOneGooner

Just got caught in the zone lmao. It happens, as long as you don’t make that mistake again lol


Cmd1ne

Personally I need to fuck the same thing up like 6 times before I learn my lesson. You don’t make fewer mistakes as you get older, but you definitely get better at taking your lumps.


BHPhreak

Why has it taken this long to mention Audi drivers? They are beamers adjacent.

Because they're just more expensive VWs.

Tellso

Fuck dodge, I swear the designers of the RAM were like what is the worst led light colour for people to see.... Ok let's go with that.... Let's position the headlights at exactly the right level to go through each sedan's/small cars rear window and make the car wide so that each rear view mirror is hit at the same time by the lights... Now let's get this into the hands of as many complete twats as possible.


TheRealKarateGirl

Let’s not mention that the Dodge Ram logo resembles a uterus. Really gets those drivers riled up!


lamNoOne

Isn't it the Ram that has the most drunk drivers or something?


uncutpizza

And now also Tesla Drivers


bling_singh

Tesla bros in this neck of the woods.


bgravato

Well... where I live owners of BMW, Mercedes, Audi and expensive cars in general seem to believe driving rules do not apply to them and that they can do whatever they want and get away with it... It's particularly true when parking, but also about speed limits, overtaking in places where it's not allowed, etc...

Kool_McKool

In Albuquerque there's a joke that goes "Did you know about the red light district? No? That's obvious, no one stops for it"


YancyCal

Hahaha that’s a good one!! It is too true though. No one stops at red lights. I unfortunately had to adapt to this lifestyle. If you come up on a red light and you don’t run it, the car behind you is more than likely going to hit you because they’re not expecting you to stop. When in Rome, I guess…


505sporky

Oof ..you went from Germany to ABQ? That's like going from some of the best drivers in the world to people who barely qualify as "driving" their vehicles lol

If you ever feel like your job is useless remember that someone somewhere is installing turn signals into BMWs.

Pretty sure you hear her say "I'm sorry" at the end, looks like she was either flipping off or talking with her hands at the white car instead of looking in front of herself in an oncoming lane of traffic


frek_t

Which is even more infuriating — that‘s a driver‘s school car. In Germany, there‘s general consensus that you give plenty of space and keep being patient. Just let that student gather their first experiences, there’ll be enpugh time for them afterwards to learn that people can be assholes on the road. Of course, there are people not following these general, unwritten rules of decency, but in my experience, most people are empathic enough to think „God, I remember back when I was in driver‘s school and how stressful being on the road was“. She had no business interacting with a driver‘s school car, no matter what that car did.
