Yup, I see lots of low intelligence drivers with phones stuck to their
ears.


Most people can multitask.


Research has shown that for most people, driving while on the phone is
as bad as being ****ed as a fart, so probably still much more
competent than you. This is not, however, something to be aspired to.


Most people can drive after a few pints with no problems whatsoever.

President Bush is rehearsing his speech for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
He begins with "Ooo! Ooo! Ooo! Ooo! Ooo!"
Immediately his speech writer rushes over to the lectern and whispers in the President's ear:
"Mr. President, those are the Olympic rings. Your speech is underneath."

Bloody heck! why on earth have you got that satnav up so high. that
is blocking a lot of your view. The satnav looks almost the size of a
small computer monitor. That is ridiculous in my opinion.


I use an 8 inch tablet for sat nav, so it /is/ a small computer
monitor. :-) But it's set above the steering column and below the top
of the dashboard so it doesn't obscure anything, and I don't have to
glance down far to see it. I'd be uncomfortable driving with anything
obscuring my forward view like that - it's bad enough having to look
around the A-pillars and interior mirror. It took me a while to get
used to all that /stuff/ between me and the forward view because I was
pedal/motorcycling (and tractor/dumper driving) before I got on the
road in a car. (I also tended to twitch the steering wheel when
changing gear because my muscle memory thought that was the throttle!)


Where, in the area between steering column and window, is there room for an 8 inch screen? Inst that full of gauges?

Extract from a customer complaint letter sent to The Body Shop:
I recently shampooed my pet rabbit with Body Shop shampoo. Its eyes bulged out and turned red. If you tested your stuff on animals like everyone else, this sort of thing wouldn't happen...
