Just got in from walking home to Pentrebane from Culverhouse Cross roundabout after dropping my car off for it's MOT and, to ease the boredom of the walk. I decided to see how many of the first 200 cars coming towards me only had one person in them and how many had drivers with their phone wedged against their ear, how many of both categories do you reckon I saw?
150/68Quote:

199 either or!
I read it as DIVERS :facepalm: so Deli Ali :hehe:
The Governor with his 199 just pips Eric. 175 cars only had one person in them - I'm hardly in a position to be critical of this, because, unless you count my dog, I'd say I'd be among the 175 on about 90% of my car journies.
As for people using their phone, Bob Banker Spanker wins - I'm pleased and surprised to say I just spotted the one bloke with his phone held to his ear.
There were probably a good few drivers who had their phones on their laps and not by their ears.Quote:

Good luck with the MOT
I very rarely use my car on weekends, but during the week, of the 10 journeys i make, the 10 are solo journeys.Quote:

Anyone who has been a regular on here for the past fifteen years or more will know that was me :hehe:.Quote:
