Once, twice, three times a numpty
Kia has just conducted a survey that suggests that a half of all drivers are potentially unfit for the road. If anything, I reckon that’s a pretty conservative estimate.
Take, for example, the guy I drove past on the M3 the other day, who took being unfit for the road to a whole new level.
He was driving in the inside on a two-lane section of the motorway, pulling a caravan. So far so good– apart from the caravan, obviously. But let’s not open that particular can of worms just now...
But then, after a junction, the M3 expanded back into three lanes. Did he pull over to the inside lane? No chance. So there he was, hogging the middle lane, towing a caravan, with faster cars on the inside lane passing him.
This went on for at least a mile. Eventually, the traffic in the outside lane started moving a bit faster, so I overtook him. As I passed, I looked across at him, and couldn’t help but notice that he was looking at his mobile phone, not the road.
Now I don’t want to be judgemental, but the man was clearly a moron. Hogging the middle lane while towing a caravan is bad enough: but to compound that with using a phone is lunacy.
So if you see a balding, bespectacled fortysomething man in a silvery blue Ford Galaxy, towing a beige-coloured caravan, give him a wide berth. When he has his accident– and one day, he will– it’s going to be pretty spectacular. And you don’t want to be anywhere near him when it happens.
