Written after driving down the M6 onto the M5 and watching a
taxi that had almost gone past the slip road, decide to stop in the centre lane, wait until the inside lane is clear and
then do a right angled turn across that lane onto the slip road. A lorry swerve all over the lanes as the
driver struggles with a stubborn bottle cap and so on and so on and so on.

Morons are out
today,
Lots more than
yesterday,
I think that I must
say,
They should be put
away.
-
Keep clear my braking
zone,
Please all just go on
home,
You are not fit to
roam,
Put them all away,
All away,
All away,
Put the morons all
a-way.
Snafu, I didn't know you were into opera - that is quite an aria! But I do know what you mean. We have laws here against 'distracted driving,' which would cover what you mentioned and I am sure, much more. It used to be that when you saw a car weaving across the lanes, the driver was drunk - now it might be a woman applying her eye makeup with one hand and driving with the other! There was a recent case in the States where a woman was actually driving whilst posting on Facebook....something about "feeling happy today." One minute later she crashed her car and was killed.

DeleteSo very sad.
Couldn't agree more. You'll be pleased to know (or not) that most of them were on their way to the M1 where I encountered them too.
ReplyDelete70mph with a phone clamped to their ear? Round here we call them 'organ donors'.
