Skilled drivers

Everyday I am impressed by the abilities of fellow drivers, some just show off with riding along holding the phone to their ear, but I overtook a Turners Daf the other day on the A14, saucepan in one hand, fork in the other, steering with his elbows. I thought at the time, they must be really proud of him, not even stopping to eat. Legend. :unamused:

The worst I’ve seen was as I passed a truck on the M1 around 2 in the morning, the driver had the steering wheel in the up position and had a laptop sat on there whilst he did his week end finances :unamused:

I was that shocked I made two spelling mistakes updating my Facebook status !!! :grimacing:

Phoning Poland to get his mates over here. :wink:

Or the Stobart driver in full white shirt and tie driving P******** on the M6 at J10 on Wednesday morning. Speeding through the 50 zone flat out in the inside lane then where the roadworks start after the M5 split, drives into the 6’6" width restriction to push in further up!

I was driving in Belgium a few years ago,I overtook a 7.5 box type van,looked down and he was playing a clarinet he even had the mucic sheet on the steering wheel.He was using his legs to steer!!honest I could not believe it.

Why ffs?? If they can’t take criticism they shouldn’t portray themselves as ā€œThe Eliteā€ :unamused: should they…, or is it that they do not want to come across as they really are… just like every other firm,( but with a HIGHER opinion of themselves :unamused: :unamused: ). Ahhh!.. thats better, thats my Stobart bashing over for another week :wink: :laughing:

I’m resisting the temptation and weaning myself off it slowly like a bad habit, but admit it IS difficult. :laughing:

It was the (now deleted) Number Plate shown that i referred to.

Its always a difficult one naming and shaming, don’t know about you but i’ve done a million stupid things in my time on the road, bloody glad no one took my registration and published it, i’d have had me own TV show by now… :wink:

What about the Dutchman cooking a Spag Bol while the Police chopper was filming him weaving all over the road, he had the gas cooker on his lap while driving.

Not seen it for a while, but, have seen a few who think its clever and cool to drive along the motorway with their right foot up on the dash :unamused:

I can’t play my trombone in the cab when I’m driving - the windscreen is too close. Or maybe the slide could go out of the window …
