Isn't it satisfying pulling up at traffic lights behind some nugget who zoomed off at the previous junction? There are certain types of people who think that the highway code just doesn't apply to them. They all seem to drive the same "types" of car (you know who you are) or a beat up egg beater, but in the back of their minds , they know they "should" be driving something flashier. So BMW, 4x4, Audi, Mercedes, Mini Cooper, any convertible (usually with playboy accesories) Subaru drivers, we salute you, may your appointment with a lampost be soon.
