Tossers who get back in their car after fueling then sit there texting for ages before driving off.

Tossers who pull up at the pump, with you waiting behind them, then spend 10 mins texting before getting out and filling up. This bike gear gets you all sweaty when you're stationary don't you know.

What were you going to do with your helmet when it was full of petrol anyway?

When I was claims handling one of our drivers was involved in a collision and was walking around when the Police arrived in a brand new police car. The police put him in their car while they waited for the rest of the emergency services to arrive.

Then the ambulance arrived and our driver, when asked if he had any pain, replied that his neck was a little sore. So the medics got the fire service to cut off the roof of the police car.

Yup, exactly the example I was referring to, although in our case it was a day old Landcruiser that the HATO's had just taken delivery of. And drivers wonder why they now have to stand around in the peeing rain until an ambulance arrives......

And this....

Do we really need to use a £10million plane dropping a £30k bomb just to knock out a pick-up truck with a machine gun on? Even Top Gear managed to do it for less than that. I'm not really into politics, or even economics, but I suspect Toyota should be able to see a marketing opportunity here.....

Brimstone missile actually, and considerably more than £30k.
