You missed:

1. Drivers wearing hats - old, doddery and arthritic. Don't use their mirrors coz they can't turn their necks far enough
2. Short-arsed "steering-wheel chewers" - can't see you coz the can't see over the dash-board
3. Anyone with a "Baby on Board" sign - only pay attention to one life-form
4. Chavs - too many reasons to list
5. Bus drivers - they operate on a different set of highway code rules to the rest of us; theirs is signal/manouvre similataneously, look (optional).
6. Ford Sierra drivers who think it's compusory to have their rear-light cluster wired up wrong


Sorry- I've had a bad day

My Dad always told me too look out for drivers wearing hats

We also forgot "women in small cars" - They only drive small cars because they aren't confident....

Not chauvenistic, just factual. My wifes a good driver, but she doesn't drive a car that will fit into a shoe box.... Men generally have a problem driving cars that small.... Something to do with phallic symbols so my Mrs tells me

Hmm, despite your desperately trying to 'out' yourself, no-one really seems to have noticed Maybe you should try a more GYKD in-yer-face-type approach than trying to slip it in here.

Whoa , more innuendo than you can throw a stick at there

I hated my old BMW and couldn't wait to get rid of it cos I used to get blokes trying to race me all the time. In the MG, people seem to think I'm a hairdresser so can be caught off guard by my biker's killer instinct.

I used to own a Volvo estate, and I have had a volvo estate pull out in front of me which ended up in me having steel holding my shoulder together.

I think the people that used to drive Volvo's in the old days have now moved on to Rover 400's and Daewoo cars. The Volvo has evolved and attracts a different type of driver.
