Can you beat this?

I was driving down the A40 dual carriageway towards Headington yesterday (about 9 am) and a vehicle in the right hand lane in front of me (BMW if you are looking in) was swerving about, crossing the line to the left sufficient to alert me to think maybe a drunk driver. I pulled up alongside just before both vehicles would meet a major traffic light junction, and suddenly the vehicle shot across the front of me, crossing four lanes allowing me to witness the lady driver putting on her make-up!!

Absolutely genuine report, but where are the cops when you want them?

Begs the question should women be allowed to drive on the road?

Thinks, that should stir them up a bit!

Oh my goodness, the trouble is, these incidents sadly are not unusual,I sometimes wonder how on earth some people actually pass their driving tests.

we have come across a male driver reading a map on the steering wheel while going around an island, I say going round, it was more like dodgems as other road users tried to get out of his way.

 But I really think that young female drivers are scary drivers as they eat,drink,text,and do their hair and make-up and usually have their cars crammed with fluffy toys, they treat the car as a bedroom i'm sure of it.

The insurance for young male drivers is sky high and I think that they ought to do the same with young females.

And don't get me started on the ' OH SO LOUD MUSIC'!! that belts out from vehicles, Why do they think everyone else needs to hear it? 

Other responsible car drivers and especially Motorcyclists and cyclists have to be so diligent and aware, that driving is no longer a pleasure, it's more of running the gauntlet to get from A-B as safely as possible. 

I have not found women are any worse than men as drivers!!! There are as many inattentive or impatient drivers of either sex!!

But my pet peeve is anyone, irrespective of age or gender, who is either talking on their cell phone, or far worse, texting on their cell phones (sorry that is mobile phones to you guys isn't it?)  They are not - and can not - concentrate on their driving when their brains are otherwise occupied.  They are indeed a dire hazard! 

I completely agree Cathy, To the point that i think phones ought to automatically switch off unless legitimately connected handsfree, ie Bluetooth, and that i think can be a distraction.

Ron, is your middle name George (Orwell) cos 1984 definitely comes to mind with that suggestion, although it might not be a bad idea

That's it see Dave you're old enough to remember, sadly not me!

Wonder what he was on about? lol

Ha ha ha    I reckon quite a lot of it came to fruition, maybe not as powerfully as in the book but I'm sure its out there. Privacy laws and all that, yet your name is on far more databases than you would imagine
