Hands Free = Not Points Free

I think drivers of top marque german cars should be exempt from this as they are clearly High Achievers with more intellectual capacity. Fair enough, drivers of chav mobiles who are probably trying to read The Sun and stuff a Ginsters pasty down their fat gobs at the same time.

Anyone who has kids will tell you they are a far more dangerous distraction in a car than anything else you can dream of.

I was in a car with a person some months ago, and her mobile just wouldn't shut up. Every 5 mins...ring ring...ring ring.

I'd answer it for her, and it was
"Can I speak to Carly, please?"
"Sorry, she's driving"
"But it's important"
"So is watching the road"
"Aw, c'mon, I'll be quick"
Carly then starts yelling for the phone.

After 30 mins of this and 6 calls, we arrived at our destination.

I asked Carly to detail 6 significant events during our journey.

There were more, but these were the most obvious ones.

1. Lady pushing a pram across zebra crossing
2. Lump of wood in the road
3. A children's ball rolling across the road
4. A black cat running across the road
5. A contraflow
6. A hunky guy standing on the white line, having crossed half the road.

She couldn't name any, not even top 5. She remembered number 6 though.

Draw your own conclusions.

I take it you have failed to come to terms with this mechanism? Stay away from motorbikes and helicopters too. Much more co-ordination required you clumsy git.

I drive an automatic and also hold a PPL(H) so as usual LG you're talking bollox.

Also cars from Sant Agassa Bolognese, and maybe some of the others from the Modena area.

I didnt say you, you tit. I didn't even say anyone who drives an auto.

You didn't say you couldnt deal with a manual gearbox did you.

I had not considered you to be an imbecile..... up till now that is.


Bogey, SAS: You two gave me a couple of laugh out loud moments.

You're still talking bollox - as usual.
