On my way to work this morning, I saw a car with a sat-nav stuck to the winscreen at eye level right in front of the drivers face :eek:

That's about on par with the guy I saw a couple of years ago pouring a hot drink from a flask into a cup (flask in one hand - cup in other)... while actually approaching a roundabout, which usually requires some steering input. :eek:

Interstate 94(between Chicago & Detroit).
- Guy driving a Ford work van(or similar), reading newspaper and eating a Big Mac while driving ..... at night. Was easy to see because his internal light was on(so he could see the paper).

The other day I say a lady driving up a busy boulevard (with many intersections, cross-walks, etc.) with her head tilted back as she was trying to put drops in her eyes :mark:

I was driving to work early one morning and saw a guy having a full wet shave. A dry shave I can can accept if your in a rush with an electric shaver, but the guy had all his face all foamed up and was using a razor.

Probably the guy who cut me up in his BMW M5, only to be flashed by a speed camera which obviously made him jump because he swerved straight into a concrete bollard.

I think it's called Karma :D

Me. Earlier this afternoon, large broken fence panels sticking way out the boot of a saloon car, all held together with bungee rope and luck. Did the job though!

The stupid women who tried to keep going round the roundabout on the inside lane last week.... I very nearly wiped us both out. I was absolutely furious!

I got stuck behind some bloke in a Mazda this evening who was trying to film St James's Park on his mobile phone whilst driving. He was slow and all over the place.

I was planning to say Hyundai Santa Fe or some else thats hideous.

I'll have to say the berk that held me up in a 60mph zone going 38'sh mph then didn't slow down going in a village 30mph zone and got flashed on a speed camera.

Hey stop bashing the Multipla, it's a great car and if wasn't for my wife I would buy one :p :

I fail to see why people have issues with the Multipla. From what I've heard it's a great MPV. Who needs to impress members of the opposite sex when you've already got 3 kids anyway? :mark:

5th May 2007, 15:04
Aye, pound-for-pound there are few cars better than the Multipla. If I was forced to have an MPV, I'd choose one of them.

If it is great or not is not the issue, it's just the look of it :eek:

A few weeks ago, while doing 95k in an 80 I had a little Toy up my chuff. As we went into the little town of Fesserton, limit 60k, I slowed down to 70. Well into town with a double yellow no passing line she pulled out and passed me. Talking on the cell phone, other hand came off the wheel to give me a one fingered salute. Had to be doing a 100+ in a 60. Heck I was 10 over.
Retribution!!! A maroon Ford coming towards us lit up like a Christmas tree!
Headlights flashing, red lights in grill, red light on dash. One unmarked cruiser.
I am sure the (female) officer had an interesting dicussion with the Toy's driver. :devil:

in the UK, having a little Toy up one's chuff could mean something quite different, and certainly not a good idea when driving o would imagine! good story though

I never really pay attention to what other people are doing inside their cars. Except once in a traffic jam when the guy ahead of me was getting head from his girlfriend / wife / fiancé / lover whatever. I had to look everywhere else but infront, very hard to do :p :

Oh yes, on a lovely warm easter day somewhere near Cheltenham (or abouts) on the M5 where the traffic jam was caused by a fatal crash and everybody was forced off the motorway without any diversions, lovely.

Don't worry, we were all at a standstill.

Not strictly on a road but the other day I was in ASDA car park and we decided to practice some bay parks for my driving test. However, a guy in a florescent jacket said maneuvers aren't permitted on the car park!! :confused:

What was he going to do? Call the police because I was parking in a car park!
