Shocking!!

The police and courts should throw the book at her.

Was it a Whodunnit? 2nd thoughts it was Crime and Punishment or even an autobiography …….

Shocking!!

The problem is it's not shocking these days, many drivers realise there are virtually no road police around and can get away with it.

Bloody disgusting that a van driver openly admits to hogging the middle lane for 2 junction, Christ he must be a driver from south of Birmingham

Alan...

Texting, putting on makeup, reading books/maps, brushing teeth, watching DVDs, using the internet on phones and laptops ...



I once nearly got flattened by a 4x4 on the climb of Saddleworth Moor. As it cut across me, I looked up and saw the eyes of the startled driver who had turned through 135 degrees to argue with her noisy kids!

Surely using a Kindle or even a Tablet would be easier to read when driving.

Surely using a Kindle or even a Tablet would be easier to read when driving.

Or just an audiobook and be done with it? What must be going wrong in someone's mind to think they can completely focus their attention on something else other than the road ahead when driving?

As I've often said before; it's not the level of punishment that deters, it's the likelihood of being caught.

In fact, it is probably the perceived likelihood of being caught! If the idiots think they can get away with it, they will try ...

I think there is more to this story, just reading between the lines, like.

How about this one for worst driver.
Lady killed by lorry driver, surfing the net for porn!

 

[Furkz]

Yeah probably reading the story about poor driving standards and what idiot drivers do at the wheel to distract themselves …………….

Nice if the air bag went off. It really would be an Eye-pad then wouldn't it?
