Letter: Vorsprung durch (definitely not) lunatic

Letter: I refer to Mr Atherton's assessment of BMW and Audi drivers in the Shropshire Star.

Like Jean Mellings of Ludlow I am astonished that someone could waste his time declaring war on BMW and Audi drivers. Maybe he is jealous that he doesn't have a BMW or Audi. (Read the original letter here.)

Having said that I understand he wants to make what he considers to be a valid point.

More to the point put the boot on the other foot. When I drive my BMW I find some drivers very aggressive towards the car – always wanting to race away from the lights, undertake or drive at speed to get past a BMW driving a little more slowly – just to make some kind of point.

Perhaps we should focus on more important issues such as driving while using mobile phones. I see this each and every day and, having been "cut up" by a driver recently on the M54 at Junction 6, understand just how dangerous these things are.
