Topic: Wrong place, wrong time

There you go then. How many posts on here have been moaning about old gits driving at 15 and a half miles an hour with their nose glued to the windscreen leaving a distinct smell of urine trailing behind them?

I think the series is about pet hates of driving and various 'celebrities' explore those pet hates and try to show the objects of their displeasure the error of their ways.

I come into contact witha lot of drivers and I would have to say that the young who are more dangerous. Both ranges however have a lack of appreciation of their abilities. The young driver rushing about has accidents through lack of forward planning, the older driver generally has accidents because something happens and they can't react in time, or they drop dead at the wheel as two have done so far this year. There are drivers out there I can't beleive have a licence and sometimes when I catch them I find they haven't. There are some old folk who are clearly medically incapable of driving to an acceptable standard. Like a chap who couldn't drive without his wife beside him. She used to describe the view ahead and tell him when to turn and brake. The officer stopping him thought he was blind drunk when he was asked to go sit in the police car and asked where it was! Its the big white car with the flashing blue lights behind you sir. Turns out he was just blind, good job he wasn't deaf too.
When you do the job that I do you see lots of bad driving, mainly because you filter out all the good stuff because it is of no interest. I can generally tell the age of the driver from the type of car, speed and time of day. Though the octagenarian woman in the XK8 did catch me out as she flew past doing about 140 at 1:30 in the morning.
