That actually made me lought...

dont whant to make a flame war here, but this is just funny... then people wonder why BMW drivers are sooo loved

thats a discription in video:

Memorial Day Weekend driving on Calaveras Road in Northern California...

BMW 335i pulls out in front and was driving enthusiastically down this sweet road. I decided to join in and thought we were having a great time until I get a nice little brake check. Once we got to a complete stop the BMW driver got out and had some nice and wonderful things to say.

The driving part is somewhat boring. We didn't even make it to the twisty bits yet. The commentary on the other hand... thats exciting!

I'm still not sure why he was so angry...

1.) I gave him plenty of room and was not tailgating him...
2.) I figure if he didn't want to drive quickly down the road, he wouldn't have driven quickly to begin with. (Even then, we weren't even going that fast...)
3.) If he just wanted me to go around, he would have pulled off and let me pass?
4.) Maybe he was upset that his BMW couldn't pull away from a 'little ****box'?
5) Perhaps Bad BBQ bean for Memorial Day?
6.) Standard behavior from a BMW owner? (Haha, I'm kidding! I love Bimmers!)

No hard feelings my friend... that BMW is a sweet ride!

He was tailgating.

To me, that vid shows that the mazda driver was an ass.

He didnt speed up until he had someone in front of him. Then when confronted, he wimped out and did what he was told.

I've driven Calaveras, and its a pretty dangerous stretch - both drivers were jackasses, but the Mazda driver was the worst of the 2.

Fair fcuks to your man in the beemer. God help him if he was around here. He would be in and out out the car all day:D

you serious now? did you actually seen hoe much space was between then, can you actually see a reg numbet on bmw? As when someone is tailgating, they are able to see drivers nose hairs in the mirror...


but "meh" i see so far, alot of people are sensitive, or taking this BMW thing too seriuosly lol

bmw535d

lmao

galwaytt

The BeeEmm driver is a moron - if I'd driven with him on my H-D, do you think he'd have come back to me, like fcúk he would..........

Delta Kilo

It would be hilarious if the guy in the mazda went really slowly after...

I dunno Im sitting on the fence with this one, while it was wreckless trying to keep up with him, he did leave him lots of room.

And I dont think its right to say fairplay to the BMW driver, its not his job to police the roads, its up to him to drive at a speed that he is comfortable with and within the speed limit, and ignore what the bint is doing behind him.

Would you have had more respect for him if he got out and punched his lights out? The beemer driver is clearly not all there/having a bad day,the Mazda driver did the right thing and drove off.

fonecrusher1

Tailgating.....when? In this vid????

No he wasn't. Theres a very reasonable distance between him & the car in front.
Looks to me like bmw wanker driver was upset because yur man in the little mazda was keeping up with him.

If he did that here he'd get his head kicked in.:)

FunkBlaster87

He had loads of room. Guy drivin the BMW is a total jacka$$.

Cionád

Road roid rage!

ShadowHearth

i think some people using " tailgating" withouth even knowing its meaning... :rolleyes:

As far as i can understand BMW was driving fast even before noticing mazda... so i really doubt that bmw driver was provoked...

and if you read in discription, he said a good point: " if he whanted me to over take him, why just didnt let me?"

congo_90

Ah spirited driving All I can say is the mazda driver appeared to be having some fun by himself which is fine. Shouldn't have taken the abuse of the bimmer driver. Light the mazda up and leave him in smoke

Caliden

Tailgating me hole.
The only time the mazda even got remotely close to the beemer was when the bmw driver jammed on the brakes.

"Crazy americans" just about sums up this video

Alanstrainor

The BMW driver was an ass. I wouldn't consider that tailgating at all. The BMW driver was obviously having a bad day...and fair play to the mazda driver, that could have got ugly pretty fast.

langdang

Gimp in a BMW pulls out from a junction ahead of "****box", forces ****box to slow even tho sitbox had right of way? ****box speeds up and keeps a reasonable distance behind BMW - BMW gimp goes completely bananas. ("roid rage" was what I thought too!)
Didn't see any tailgating tho?
The guy with the camera sounds completely mystified by the psychotic reaction... funny stuff:)

No, what I am saying is that the Mazda driver didnt feel the need to speed up untl another road user was in front of him. He therefore is a jackass, and was put in his place like the little beeotch he iss.

bmw was allready driving fast, and mazda driver just joined in while keeping distance. Check video again.

This is a bmw being tailgated. Dumb inbred rednecks get a little surprise.:D

I presume a 335i would smoke a mazda 3 speed or whatever its called.

And the mazda driver has obviously never heard of the two second rule.

On looking at the video again i dont really think the bmw pulling out was any way dangerous.

Johnny Zimbabwe

Beemer driver was just annoyed a "****box" was keeping up with him IMO

AHAAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAH fair play to the BMW dirver, it was EPIC!!!!

Cuddlesworth

He is right behind him on tight corners at speed. With the lack of visibility if the beamer had to break suddenly coming out of a corner the mazda would have been off the road or into the back of him.

SV

bmw driver was a fúcking tool.
just had a problem that the mazda could keep up with him is all..

wasn't even driving close.

if he really wanted the guy to go past him (like he said) then he would have slowed down.




the most dangerous part in that video is the bmw driver slamming on the brakes.
a massive tool, by all accounts.

Nope.

If its the 2.3L mazda 3 that puts out around 250bhp i reckon it would be pretty close between the two of em. Bmw probably a little bit quicker but it certainly wouldn't smoke that mazda, its a wee rocket.

GTE

No tailgating there.
I was able to count a 2 second gap between them and even then 2 secs exactly isnt exactly close.

BMW driver seemed over sensitive.

Absurdum

flippin hell they are on the WRONG side of the road!!!!!!111oneone

Didn't he brake suddenly though?

Clearly the Mazda gave him plenty of space if he was able to somewhat comfortably slow to a complete halt whilst still leaving a few car lengths between him and the BMW, who'd jammed on.

Those MPS's are quicker than people give them credit for.
I'd say the BMW guy assumed it was just the standard Mazda3 and that the driver was absolutely hockeying it to keep up with him.... when in fact he was keeping up fairly comfortably.

fonecrusher1

Given the amount of people in america that carry guns on their person or in their cars it really is a mind-numbingly stupid thing to do to get out of your car and aggresively approach a complete stranger in the middle of nowhere shouting & roaring.

If he did it to the wrong person he could end up brown-bread.

Im sure theres loads of homocide cases on record over there that come about because of these sort of incidents. So dumb.

maddness

Ahh Americans........the mind boggles.

peasant

Haha ...if that constitutes tailgating, then I had sex with Rosanna Davidson*












*saw her once, on the other side of the road

Alanstrainor

I think the fact that Mr.BMW was able to jam on the brakes and the mazda driver was able to stop in good time proves he wasn't tail gating.

Have you considered your reply vs the overwhelming responses here and perhaps considered you could do with improving your driving skills? Cos if they are reflected by your statements, then it doesnt bode well.
He isnt right behind him
That isnt "speed"
That isnt low visibility from the Mazda
No tight corners were seen

redman

BMW driver was just upset that the Mazda driver was keeping up with him.

Complete Twat

Lord Nikon

So what, he's driving a BMW. Maybe the BM driver has issues.

Saying that, the Mazda driver was initiating catching the BM to try and prove something. He clearly speeds up on the BM, for what, fun perhaps.

Both drivers are clearly wrong. Mazda driver for playing catch up, BM driver for over reacting.

I would have rammed that pricks car.

Enough of that shite, it's not called for at all. I can't see how that's even remotely humorous.

Americans are foreigners.

If I was feeling like doing a bit of spirited driving, I'd be very annoyed if someone was going to follow me too. That said, I'd just pull in and let them pass.

I don't know why the Mazda driver decided to follow the BMW driver - his idea of some sort of game?

That said, the Mazda driver didn't really do anything wrong or unsafe. The BMW driver has a serious road rage problem...

BTW that redneck clip has been around for years. It's a fake

You aren't aware of his driving skills, or the condition of his car or tires, the video isn't clear enough to make out the surface of the road and if any of the dust or gravel is spread out across it. You don't need to be right beside somebody when driving at pace on a tight road like a prick to hit them or someone else. You also have no idea of what actual speed they are travelling at and if it was excessive.

I don't care about overwhelming responses, its clear that the mazda driver is geared up for some street racing by his attitude both in the video and the comments he made. I don't think the BMW driver is justified in what he did but his reaction is to be expected when a car keeps riding his arse.

The second BMW video looks set up and acted out to me.

sounds about right. BMW driver an idiot, but didn't look to be 'racing' probably surprised at the other idiot speeding up and sitting behind him rather than catching up then just overtaking.

I'm with the Mazda driver, his driving ability surpassed that of the of the Beemer's and beemer driver was pissed of to look in the mirror and see the Mazda every time. I drive a very ordinary car but can stay with ANYONE (and I mean ANYONE) on a twisty and beat 99% of drivers who think they drive a decent car. Beemer driver was a complete numbnuts, if he felt threatened by the Mazda, he should have just have pulled over and let the Mazda pass.

I like how ANYONE changes to 99% :P

btw, I'm willing to be a considerable amount of money you couldn't..if you want to go down that road that is.
