Where do these people come from??

Twice today I have found myself behind characters whose driving simply defied belief. Fortunately on both occasions I was not alone. A queue of eight of us formed behind Mr Black 51 reg Ford Focus. He drove along a normal twisty road at 26 - 28 m.p.h. , despite the fact that is a derestricted road, and hence we could legally do 60 (or is it 50?). The only saving grace was that at no. 4 in the queue was a police car that he had not seen. After 5 miles of this idiot blocking the road, a long gap opened up, Mr Plod put on his blue lights and siren and had Mr Black 51 reg Ford Focus into a lay-by for a breathalyser test. I do hope he failed.....

Number two was a lady in a VW Golf who clearly had no idea how wide her car was. Down a road that varies in width, she unfailingly braked hard, regardless of the width of the road, when confronted by an oncoming vehicle and made little or no attempt to keep well into the left. Once again, Schadenfreude occurred when Mr DHS Delivery Van in a searing hurry to get back to the depot and thence home for Friday night revelry, surgically removed her offside drivers door mirror at a closing speed of 50 m.p.h. (she was doing 10, he was doing 40, maybe 45) without apparently noticing or stopping.

Couldn't have happened to two nicer people.......
