On Monday I had a BMW traveling in the opposite direction start to drift towards the centre line. As he past I could see he was on the phone.

Yesterday had a BMW on my side of the road on a blind bend  :-X  he was getting past a cyclist in a very dangerous place - I think driver was away with the fairies........
Some people will only consider you an expert if they agree with your point of view or advice,  when you give them advice they don't like they consider you an idiot
