...is the most likely to dangerously swerve in front of you when driving in motorway traffic?

In my 1 year of Z4 ownership, I've noticed it's the chelsea tractors - in particular drivers of Land Rover Discoverys. I think it's because:
a) They want to impede your already limited view
b) They feel threatened by the low profile of the Z
c) They don't use their mirrors anyway

What cars, if any, do this to you?
 
I find all cars try and get one over on me in the Zed. Jealousy perhaps? I don't know, but I find people pul out in front of me more, drive closer behind me and try stupid overtakes. Most kudos comes from other sports car drivers.

In all cases, I just blip the throttle to make it hard for them.

When I drive my wife's Tiguan, it's like everyone is afraid.

Lifes too short.

Fixed as you missed the most obvious one.

White vans

x1000 - excepting those on here whom I am sure exercise all due care and attention :D

Basically anyone who is not driving their own vehicle with their own cash at risk... Which generally comes down to works drivers and perhaps company car drivers who are pi55ed at their poor allowance :roll:
 
Chaved up Fiesta, Saxo and Corsa wagons. Usually they are decorated with multiple brand names of tuning companies - a list of brands that the owner cannot afford, and have big wheels fitted which raises them up like they're on stilts. They also have bean can sized fart cannons attached to the rear (sometimes there are multiple cannons, but only one emits fumes). The noise does not equate to speed, unfortunately.

The owners are a strange breed, and typically have a tribal markings worn on their head - a strange beige/sand coloured cap with chequered markings on it.... I assume that the chequered marks vary by clan :?

On the motorways middle manager road warriors. They drive debadged (rear small engined variants) of 3 series, Audi A4, etc. Tailgate, don't signal, believe they should be ahead regardless, undertake, etc.

In cities it's the chavved up Corsa's, Citroens, that as Adamski notes, because they have a dusbin as an exhaust that it equates to fast.

i) Almost any 4WD wagon - they are all hideously ugly, stupid, bloated, environmentally absurd wastes of space. And almost every car manufacturer now makes one.
ii) Almost any Sydney taxi driver, in their wallowing tanks (Ford Falcons or Holden Commodores)
