I was walking home from work last night - a new found pleasure having commuted for 10 years. As I was on the pedestrian crossing a BMW 3 series ran the red light, passing the static cars in lane 1 and shot through the junction. I luckily spotted him and stepped back behind the static cars. Not best pleased and with a few choice words muttered, I carried on my way. Further down the road, on the pavement but facing oncoming traffic I noticed that nearly all the cars were moving away from the kerb to avoid a large puddle and the subsequent soaking they would give the pedestrians. Until however, one car moves over into the gutter and sends a wave of water onto the pavement. Had he even held his line, he would have missed the puddle. But no he moved across in what was, for sure, a deliberate act. The car? A BMW 1 series. Well we are nearly home by now and as I wait at the corner to cross the road to my house, a car drives up to the junction - no indicators on. He then turns left and mounts the pavement with his rear nearside wheel. Cutting the corner considerably. I stepped/jumped back to avoid getting my feet re-shaped. The car, another BMW 1 series, carries on regardless.
Now I know that I could substitute BMW for Audi, Merc etc. It does though seem a coincidence that all three incidents were carried out by said marque owners. Within a space of 25 minutes. Do you think that this brand really does attract/engender a certain type of arrogant owner/behaviour? Given that it's not the most popular car on the road, certainly within my location, it cannot be down to sheer numbers lowering the odds either. The reality is it's just random events and coincidence but it did make me think.
