Bimbling home tonight I heard a wheezy noise behind me and saw a clapped-out white van creeping along with its left indicators flashing (when there wasn't a left turn in sight). I slowed down to let it pass (as I prefer seeing that sort of vehicle in front of me) and saw that the rear doors were held together with something flimsy and black and were swaying slightly ajar. At the next lights, I got closer and saw that it was two pieces of shoestring tied together looped through the handles. I backed off a little again. When the lights went green, the driver went straight on, the left indicators still flashing.
