Now seen it all.
yesterday while driving to the local country park to walk my dog I saw the following and wondered at the stupidity of some motorists.
You turn off the main road and climb up a narrow winding lane the width of the car that has passing points.
Looking ahead I saw a vehicle coming with hazard warning lights flashing but for a minute could not make out what it was.
I then saw it was a car with the bonnet in the up position meaning the driver could not see ahead, that sent me into a passing point lay by fast.
I ran the window down and as he came level shouted I had a roll of tape in my boot but was totally amazed to see he had a mobile phone stuck to his ear. He shouted back it is OK I am going to the garage.
The garage is out on the main road about a mile from where we passed so he trundled on finding his way I know not how and much to the detriment of all other road users.
I was so dumbstruck I never thought to get my mobile phone camera out and record the scene.
Do people get into a car and become immune to danger? do they think it is every one Else's problem missing them during their stupid antics?
After 60 years of official driving plus six years unofficial driving my Fathers trucks without accident I begin to wonder how I lived so long without being wiped out by fools and nutters, there are a lot of them, about.

Gosh Frank - the world is full of them and it appears that they have become more numerous with the advent of the new handy phone glued into many of their ears.
We have a tale of a Chinese woman who was stopped after turning left - illegally into a main street of Vancouver - talking on her phone with a cup of coffee in the other hand- when asked she showed a Driving Licence with a man's photograph in place, then claimed that it was the 'Fambly' Licence....
the issuer of that particular licence is still in the slammer for issuing many licences to her comptariots for a hefty sum
to be not bothered with such mundane tasks as oral and road tests !
