I absolutly fucking hate programmes like this. So fucking one side'd. They don't show you the people who are actually into the cars properly, who turn up park up and look at other peoples cars. Fails to mention the people who are into their cars actually despiseing the mindless prats that they actually class all of us as.
Rant over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And there he is telling people to watch their speed
I dislike the other guy more though, forget his name now, the one that used to be on Fifth Gear. Not a good presenter IMO.

Just winds me up...
"Boy racers modify their car to get as much attention as possible... This sort of attention seeking can be shown in this next vid, which shows 3 young men in a stolen xr3i'
Sorry what? You are talking about 2 different groups of people, 1 who have modified their car and spent a lot of time + money on it and one on car thieves in a standard old banger ffs.
Most of the 'car thieves' young men arn't even old enough to drive.

HAHAHAHAH
"Skill is often not the problem... Years of young boys playing video games have given them good hand eye co-ordination'
What a crock of shit, just because they play GT4 on ps2 relates very little to driving a real car.
hence he can't drive for shit in the astra on skid pad.

I cracked up when he drove into that island, though!
I mean, how gay... "He lost control." -- he just went straight. Blatantly done it on purpose or was distracted or something. They act like the car caught him out and he oversteered into the island...

The programme doesn't annoy me so much as I know most is just crap. Its the old biddies watching who nod and agree that all young people are dangerous behind the wheel that I get annoyed at.
Along with the quote "more accidents are caused by young OR INEXPERIENCED drivers than any other group"
So that would be anyone just passed their test then, regardless of age.

i thought most accidents where caused by old people in brand spanking new disability cars that have forgotton how to use a bastard roundabout or forget to stop at junctions or just piss them selves at the steering wheel.

Also though - make a programme about old people driving badly = lots of complaint letters.
Programme about young people driving badly = they can't be bothered to waste the time complaining

I know the person that was shouting at the bus driver in Plymouth and drove off over the pavement.
He's currently in Prison (again)
