Yeah, that drives me mad too. The amount of new Passats I've seen driven like this is beyond normal. I actually hate those cars with a passion because of that. Not only do they have f**king strong headlamps which are really annoying in the evening or at night, but they also have led brake lights which are almost as blinding as fog lamps. They're driven by idiots who talk over the phone all the time, tailgate you and constantly look out for a chance to overtake but never actually overtake. I also hate it when people manifest their dissatisfaction when you leave a gap in front of you while driving slow in a traffic jam. I've got a mighty heavy clutch in my car, if I was to change gear, accelerate and brake all the time just to keep as close to the car in front of me as possible, I'd be sidehopping higher than Damon right now or would have a completely f**ked knee. Why not maintain a constant low speed at tick over? That's why I like driving behind lorries in jams, they rarely brake or accelerate. edit: oh, and I hate Civic and BMW E36 / E30 drivers. They're usually young and stupid, constantly change lanes in traffic to get ahead of other cars. And they don't just indicate that they want to change the lane and wait, they indicate right after they've started the manouver. f**king tossers. Obviously a generalisation but it's so common for drivers of these cars who are usually of a certain age group and treat their cars like a performance vehicle which only has a miserable 4 pot engine and an exhaust so loud I can't hear my own radio.
