Worrying. It always irritates me when I see that sort of stupidity on TV

I'm sure there'd be a guarding car in front and behind but even so..Not a good example to young 'uns.

Same as some police 'super drivers' who hurtle along with their heads tucked into their shoulders as they yell into their shoulder mounted radios.

I get well worried when the driver of the motor that I am travelling in feels they have to look eye to eye with the person they are chatting to..

About mid-60s, my then chief officer had that habit. Not too frightening when he only had a front seat passenger, but when you were in the back....
