Bump
Yesterday spoke to two people using phones at the wheel. The first, a guy driving a medium sized Chelsea Tractor, seemed to take my hint.
The second, a spivvy dude in a sporty Bentley (that had just tore down a bus lane at the end of Grange Road at Tower Bridge Road in order to get through the lights before all the other single-occupancy cars clogging up the roads). Needless to say I caught up with him in my normal pace cos LO! he was stuck in another queue of single-occupant private vehicles just a hundred yards on.
I asked him to stop using his phone, and cited the 'four times more likely to cause an accident when using a handset' stat that appeared in the press recently...
He had the GALL to say... 'Excuse me, let me speak, but my mother's got cancer and that was her doctor I am talking to'!!! WHAT!? I mean, WHAAAAT!?
'ANND?' I said to him. 'Stop your car if you want to use a handset!'.
Fucking prick. I hate bentley drivers. They are ALL cunts, to a man.
