Stupid/Careless drivers.

greenspurs

I was in the motoring thread just looking at pics of 'old/Classic cars" and I noticed the amount of pictures taken by posters while driving their car on roads, and motorways !

I asked a question previously about why do they think its ok to do that - and lets say , I wasn't allowed back for "derailing the thread"

I asked the same question today and I got this reply.

"No one actually thinks it's ok, but hand on heart, we all do stuff that isn't perfect (tune the radio, look into shop windows, look at other cars' occupants, etc) - if you keep the episodes brief, and understand that you're doing it (rather than letting your attention wander without realising it), then you're probably driving better than a lot of people we all see on the roads.
It's like giving out when someone farts when, whether we like to admit it or not, we all fart."

I hope I don't meet this dude while on my bike, or even in my car while hes taking a pic of a 1980 vw golf ……

Be careful guys.

mod note - as this isn't about cycling per se, this is not the place for this thread. plus, it'll probably just get needlessly antagonistic.

if you feel your comments in the original thread were unfairly moderated, there is an appeals process to follow should you choose. however, as i'm not a regular of the motoring forum, i do not know whether your comments may fall under their charter or not.
