Oh man - the indicators !! That bugs me so much It's as if it's not fashionable to use them these days. It's such a selfish thing not to use them.

I've done the same thing as you Jools - "nice £50K Jag mate but shame it didn't come with working indicators"

Seems to be the people in flash cars who don't use the indicators; merc and beemer drivers seem to be the worst offenders, as for Volvo drivers at least you are expecting them to do "unusual" things :P

Best one I saw was a lorry driver in Belgium with a tray on his steering wheel making sarnys & a coffee pot steaming away on the dash all at 60mph.

I followed an old woman in a Metro round a round about and up the slip road onto the M27 while knitting.

I saw someone eating a yoghurt, both hands off the wheel, on the A127. Traffic was moving steadily at 60. Again, not speeding so whats the problem?

[guest1]

M60, Anti clockwise, BMW, light blue, being driven by a 30~40ish bald fella.
He's weaving a little and his speed is up and down.
In his right hand is the steering wheel and....an upside down bottle of what looks like johnsons baby lotion or sun cream.
Left hand is catching the dispensed cream and rubbing it into his microscopic brain container called a head - trouble is the road bends slightly and it's upsetting his rhythm. What a tosser!

I'm takin' offence at the Volvo quip ! (below)

I drive the current model S40
as a company car, and as a Rep !
even ordered it in bright red to keep the garage lookin' tidy !!
even got a Ducati Corse logo on the boot !!!

It dosent make me drive like a tw@t,
but does protect me a little more from those that do !!!

why stereotype people !?

us poor "hooligan" bikers who get stereotyped all the time should know better eh ?


"But I did think the it was a myth about Volvo drivers, But no. They really are complete tw@ts.

Are they like this before they buy the car, or did the car make them cretins? "

Driving their bloody cars like they droive thar tractur.

20 yrs ago early one morning just as the sun was rising (song)
I was traveling down in a truck to Bristol on the M5, I saw two headlights approaching ! as i got closer i realised they were coming north bound in lane 3 ! nothing unusual there then I hear you say !!!!
But they were on the south bound carridgeway
It was two old ladies in a moggy 1000 heading up the M5 the wrong way!
