Pricks driving cars with hoodies up...

Jayo11780

Absolute monster peeve of mine... every morning on my way to work i meet at least 7-10 assholes flying on the country roads with their hoodies up :mad:..

what's the deal with this? Are they that cold that they need to pull up their hoodies or is it the fashion among boy racers and the like??
Anybody else no likey??

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..

DARK-KNIGHT

You need to cool the jets there...


Could be something to do with them being cold????

FearDark

You don't have much to be worrying about do ya.

Kenjataimu

As long as it doesn't affect their driving, who really cares? Mind your own business.

DrumSteve

So do you have an issue with how they dress or how they drive?

they cant afford to put on the heating in the car:(

lkionm

Probably because it is cold in the morning and the car takes a little while to get fully heated up.


I think you might need a nice cup of tea to calm down.

I wear gloves in the morning when I am driving.

I will do this when dropping the missus to work, I'd be absolutely freezing, that's the only reason.

yeah that feature was introduced when you were out dropping the missus to work

They see me rolling, they hating...

When I get into my car in the morning it's freezing cold, and blasting the heat only blows icy air at me untill such time as the engine heats up.
The hood keeps me somewhat warn untill I've been driving long enough to turn the heating on.
That's why people drive with their hoods up. Relax

Monks? Wee bastarids.

Was there a triple glitch on this thread?

This can only mean one thing: something has made the Matrix... horny.

Not on you're Nelly.

All the Jedi are dead... & I very much doubt it was a Sith Lord.

Maybe they don't like to see peripherally. It's certainly not cold enough to excuse it

mathepac

I never saw a car wear a hoody ...

Don't get him started on the gloves...

General General

Jawas are another possibility.

vandriver

I agree with the op .One of those hoodie wearers pulled out of a side road and nearly ploughed into me the other morning.No peripheral vision see.
And don't get me started on the hoodie / headphone combo.

Rachiee

Wearing a hoods definitely affects peripheral vision.if they are cold they can buy a hat wearing a host is dangerous

SV

Wearing a hoodie doesn't necessarily remove peripheral vision and if they didn't nearly cause an accident with you then surely this should just be in the fashion forum?

Tzardine

Jayzus. Some people will moan about anything. Fair enough to have a rant about somebody speeding along but why are you worried about his choice of fashion. What are you opinions on people with afros ?

And I dont agree with the argument about visibility. It makes no difference at all and even if it was closed up like Kenny from South Park sure you are no worse off than somebody wearing a full face motorbike helmet.

There is a support line OP for issues like this. Its 1850 715 815

anncoates

I suggest keeping your eyes on the road.

If it's worn for warmth it'd be pointless not to have your head covered sufficiently to obscure peripheral vision

Thats Deep man!!!!!

kneemos

Real reason.
They think it looks cool and makes them look like a bitch slapping gangsta.

kona

Some proper dickwads posting about driving today.

BillyMitchel

I bet it's because you are terrified of them hahaha

Stop watching Love/hate and you'll be grand.

nelly17

Ewoks then?

You can cover the back of head and ears without affecting peripheral vision whatsoever.

TomCleverly

Think I'll drive with me hood up just in case I come across Jayo, might throw a hat on on top of it. Can imagine the names I'd be called.

Starscream25

It could potentially be a hazard, could affect their peripheral vision, I once nearly took down a motorcyclist who was overtaking me in the overtaking lane,checked my mirror, nothing to be seen,indicate out, checked mirror again, move out slowly and only for my peripheral vision seeing him coming up by my side I would of crashed into him for sure. I'm much more careful now and more often perform a 'lifesaver' in the car aswell as my bike

nelly17

Well personally I'm not hip to the whatever . I just wear a hat, keeps the top back and sides of my head warm and I can pull it down over my ears to boot, with full peripheral vision might I add.

Tzardine

This is the actual reason for it. It was a trend started by the original gangster called Q Eliz. Here she is rolling with her bitches.

You haven't been up at 7am recently? What's to excuse?

This is a hoodie

Geomy

There was reports of a gimp seen driving between Doonbeag and Spanishpoint....

Turns out it was only a guy in a winter wetsuit, on his way for a surf in Lahinch....

RoboRat

I drive with my hood up on cold mornings, its freezing, the car hasn't heated up yet and I am cold after getting out of my warm bed. It doesn't affect my peripheral vision and I really couldn't give a toss if people think I look like a knacker.

theblaqueguy

I always year my hoodie when driving especially if its cold
And for those complaining about the drivers peripheral vision being affected
.......they can just turn their heads to get a better view! Its not rocket science people!

CFlat

Why would anyone drive with their hood up, you wouldn't be able to see out through your windscreen? Jesus, some people haven't got a clue.

Realistically how many people turn their heads? **** all. That's all very well to say but it's not worth ****e after an accident, but **** it this is after hours the Craic must be had.:)

Omackeral

What if OP meant driving with the car's hood up, as in the bonnet....


Yeah I doubt it too. Totally didn't pan out the way he was expecting with the back slapping!

Galwayguy35

Not half as bad as seeing young fellas wearing woolly hats in the middle of summer when it's over 20 degrees.

Seachmall

I wear my hood up driving, I don't like my neck being cold but I like to have the window down with the breeze blowing on my face. The cold air keeps me sharp, and when you're driving at the speeds I do you need to be sharp.

Vroooooom!

MadYaker

Its bloody freezing these mornings and it takes at least ten minutes for my car to warm so you can f*ck off, ill wear my hood up if i want.
