1356.0. "Flogging's too good...." by TRUCKS::SMART (Beware the passing bandwagon) Mon Feb 04 1991 13:14

    <<Climb on soapbox>>
    
    So where was Mr Plod this morning?  Tucked up in the station canteen
    whilst that seasonal cretin, Frosty the Idiot took to the road.
    
    There they were, tearing up and down the motorway in their mobile
    igloos.  You know the sort: they scrape about an A4 size window
    in the ice covering the windscreen and off they set, totally oblivious
    to other road users because all the other windows still have about
    -5� of frost on them.
    
    Prosecuting them is too good.  They should be made to walk to work
    in this weather  8*)
    
    These people never have an accident .... they cause them!!

	as I was driving off the estate this morning, I go past a T junction where I'm on the top bar of the T, so to speak. and a pratt in an Audi 100 stopped on the give way line to let the car in front of me past, and then pulled out in front of me! It's the nearest to home I've had cause to thank ABS so far.... he hadn't cleaned his side windows properly. Fortunately he stopped, and I didn't skid, but it didn't do my blood pressure any good, and the kids learned a couple of new words to use in the playground! Peter.
1356.4		BAHTAT::FORCE4::hilton	How's it going royal ugly dudes?	`Mon Feb 04 1991 14:47`	10
	re .0 guy 2 doors down the road from me, got up and the car was very iced up. Started his Sierra up, switched on the windscreen wipers, stood back and watched. 3/4 hour later when we came back he was still there waiting for the ice to de-frost!!! Greg
