Muppetery in motion

[nick crisp]

On that subject I was on my way home from work earlier and at the lights a young woman pulled up behind me and as soon as she stopped had her head down in her phone. I kept an eye on her as we pulled away and she didn't even look up at the road for at least 500 yards!!! And even then it was a quick hlance then back down at the phone. That to me is far more idiot and dangerous than a wheelie any day and is also the reason I filter to the front of every single queue I can to avoid getting hit up the are by a moron like that

I get quite worried about the bloke behind me who doesn't look where he's going for at least 500 yards because he's too busy watching the woman behind him who doesn't look up from her phone for at least 500 yards  :lol

What with a name like that - are you sure - I wonder if he drives a lory with the same care, must be a polish thing -shit driving. How many have been in the news recently http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/08/...-m1-crash/ what is happening - why is their standard of driving not the same as other Euro country's

I'd rather it be an idiot on a sportsbike that hits the back of me because he's wheelieing than a retard in a 2 tonne car because they are on their phone.

The thing is if he was doing it down a suburban street he most likely would only injure himself if he came off but on a motorway it could cause a massive pile up and thats why the plod were wrong in filming him for 16 mins, they should of pulled him much earlier.

Somebody not paying attention in a car is much more dangerous than someone on a bike

Dudeofrude,
I remember a bike accident round these parts.  A nutter lost control of his fireblade on a corner, apparently the petrol tank dislodged and decapitated the driver of the car he hit as well as seriously injuring the passenger (stuck trapped inside the car with the decapitated driver.)

You cannot differentiate between the two.

Lets face it this isn’t just “muppetery in motion”, it’s supreme stupidity, selfishness and a total and utter disregard for other road users.  You are gonna get the book thrown at you if you behave like a totoal dick on the M6.

I will agree that I don’t see how a jail sentence helps anybody, unless that is that this is a repeat total muppet offence.

I saw this and wondered:

a) why the hell they didn't pull him over after the first wheelie and

b) why he got a jail sentence whilst a certain Mr Rooney got a slap on the wrist and a fine that he could pay off from money down the back of his sofa for being three times over the drink-drive limit...

There's SO much wrong with this countries justice system. Plus it's gone so PC, it's madness....... EDITED to remove incriminating comments. I'll stop there!  :angel  :\

But on the bright side, when he comes out of jail that's another potential organ donor on the loose  :rolleyes

He will be well schooled for life on the wrong side of the law at one of HMPs university for criminal activity. That act of complete stupidity will probably cost him his job, his life as it was before prison, and send him on a path of criminal activity.

Last week i bought a new motorcycle jacket (off the internet), its arrived. There's a fabric white label stitched just behind the zip which has spaces to write in your blood group, license number, a contact number, your name etc!....


Well.... thanks!  :eek  how morbid. Next they WILL be throwing in a complimentary donor card!  :rolleyes
