A day from the diary of a BMW driver...

"The other day I was cruising along as usual coming onto one of my motorways,
which was very busy with inferior cars.

First off, I couldn't believe that the volume of traffic DIDN'T slow down for me AT ALL
as I came off the slip road! I had to squeeze into a barely big enough gap between
two cars in order to get onto my motorway!

The driver of the car behind me did realise his mistake though and honked an
apology to me with a long blast of his horn.

Unbelievably, I had to do the same again before I could get to the BMW lane.

Anyway, once I was in the BMW lane and posing along at 110 mph enjoying the
adulation that the inferior car drivers were giving me, I noticed an inferior car ahead
of me which was not only in the BMW lane of my motorway, but was driving at a
ridiculous 70 mph!

Naturally, I got within a foot or so of his rear bumper and flashed my headlights to
remind him he shouldn't be in the BMW lane of my motorway and to get out of my way.

Of course, once he realised it was a BMW behind him, he did just that, but I could
hardly believe it when he pulled straight back out behind me!

He also tried to keep up with me and when he realised I would out-run him, he put on
some blue lights in his front grill and urged me to get onto the hard shoulder so that
he could congratulate me on my excellent car.

Needless to say, I was eager to oblige and when we had stopped, the man gave me
a piece of paper confirming what I already knew - that my car goes fast!

Apparently he wants everyone to know what a superior car I have, so I had to take
my drivers licence to a police station to be sent away to have some points put on!
(They're not free points either - they're £20 each and I was only allowed 3.) But the
man at the police station said that because I drive a BMW, it won't be much longer
before I earn the full 12 points, and then I won't even NEED a driving licence, so they
will take it off me!

See, now THAT'S the sort of respect you get when you own and drive a BMW! "
