Re: Watching telly while driving.
A little while ago, Kent police hired an HGV and drove up and down the M20 having a look at the behaviour of lorry drivers as that's not ordinarily observed from car level. That too was shocking. TV and DVD on laptops, steering with their feet and all manner of stuff. But I could do nothing than be utterly shocked at the lorry driver actually frying his breakfast over a camping stove, whilst travelling at 58mph in lane 2!
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

We used to run a "Trucker's Pub" near Leeds. Some of their stories were truly shocking! One of the drivers our lass used to managed got fired when his microwave fell on his head while he was driving because he couldn't get his microwave meal out with one hand! He swerved and hit an overtaking car!

Whatever she was doing, if some wacko nut-job complete-stranger guy came up to my car window knocking on it, he would be very unpleasantly surprised by the reception he would receive. Arsehole.

Forgot to add Sim, just had a word with my dad, most General Haulage firms and the like limit their vehicles to 52 mph, either the guy was foreign or had ripped his limiter out.
