just as well im in pub then!!!

I think smoking should be for sure- to get a cigarette you have to take your hands off the wheel, possibly get them out of your pocket or look over to see where they are on the passenger seat, then try to get one out (harder thatn it looks if your looking at the road) and then light it (again- probably not looking at the road whilst doing so), and then there is the issue of the cigarette butt either falling from there hands or coming back into the car after attemting to be flicked out.

I have read police are now pulling drivers over for eating a sandwidge on the road- why not smokers?

Thankfully I've moved out again (after a year back with the folks) and although I don't have the use of my mother's car anymore at least I don't have to put up with her scaring the living crap out of me by screaming 'PAULPAULPAUL!!!' when she thinks I'm about to hit something that's about 20 metres away from us. Nervous passengers do my head in. :rolleyes:

Edit: Has anyone said sex yet? Sorry to lower the tone but someone was bound to come up with it. Also plumbing, abseiling and any form of water sport would be ill advised while driving.

Putting on make up and putting on lipstick??? Like it's women that are the main offenders? How about shaving with an electric razor. I see guys doing it all the time. That and picking their noses. Now that should be banned. :gag:

How about banning 'eating with a spoon'?

I'm sure I saw a guy eating yoghurt with a spoon on the A1 a couple of weeks ago. I told a friend and they claim to know somebody who eats their breakfast cereal on the way to work.:loopy:

MOD: I've deleted several inappropriate posts. Will forummers please remember this is a family forum and refrain from posting offensive material.

I would say looking at the opposite sex! :)

So many Men/Women have almost crashed eyeing up people walking the streets!

But who can blame good Eye Candy! ;)

Definitely preparing muesli while driving. This from Ananova:

Driver crashed while eating muesli

A German woman caused £15,000 of damage when she tried to eat a bowl of muesli while driving her car.

Julia Bauer, 21, from Bochum, laid out a bowl, a packet of muesli, a pint of milk and a spoon on the passenger seat before climbing in to the driver's seat and setting off.

She then attempted to make her breakfast on her way to work but lost control of the vehicle when she reached out to stop her bowl from tipping over.

"The young driver ended up spoiling more than just the car seat when she swerved and crashed into a parked car and a lamppost," said a police officer.

"She could have gone on a two-week holiday at a five-star hotel with breakfast included for this much money."

Old people who drive too slow
Old people who take their dogs with em and they jump about all over car
Kids jumping about in back not strapped in
Mobiles, although im a culprit
**** music blarring out
Boys thinking they are bad ass rude boys in their ****ty fiesta - with stick on alloys baby grrrr!
People who can tdrive in fog/ snow/ hail

Smiling at eachother whilst driving should always be allowed - it brightens my day seeing a cheesy grin

Multi Tasking in general i would say...

Keep your eyes on the Road... Hands on the Steering Wheel

I am sure there is a song about that...

Sitting in the back seat... Kissing and a hugging with Fred (toot toot ahhhhhh beep beep! toot toot ahhhhhh beep beep!)... By Bomballerina??? Timmy Mallet i do believe.... late 80's i think :?

AGGRESSION !!**

Leave it at home, lock it in the boot, throw it out the window....whatever.

Just don't have it in the car with you whilst you're driving.

Is that Bochum that Sheffield is/was twinned with, spooky...

Eating an apple?

There is a story in today's Sun about how the police blew 10K nicking a driver for eating an apple. :o :D

Playing any musical instrument ie/ trombone or piano

I saw a driving instructor (female) in the car on her own with the phone in one hand and a fag in the other!?

Does anyone think that the driving license (along with the marriage license - but that's another issue)! should expire after 5 years and everyone should sit a re-test??

No, (only coz it's unworkable and there's enough people out there already without licences) but I think you should have to pass a separate motorway test.

You can't get motorway lessons as a learner, so you pootle round town, then they give you a licence and you can join in the fun at your own leisure? No instruction! No practice! No experience! No firkin' chance!

No wonder there are so many middle lane drivers, undertakers, and cherfin' nutters out there :loopy:

Middle lane drivers - uughh. They are nearly as bad as third lane drivers!!! My total bugbear. Yep agee with you totally, should be a test for the motorway.

I much prefer motorway driving, but I do a lot of it and I almost physically relax when I get on the motorway. The level of concentration is the same, but it's different. No watching out for pedestrians or traffic lights but need to keep a keen eye on those in front who are about to pull out to overtake. Give me the motorway anytime (without the middle lane drivers of course)!

And people in Micras who can't use their full beam should be banned from the Snake when it's dark. They're utterly ficking dangerous to themselves and everybody else on the road. They brake indiscriminately at the wierdest places (like the bottom of hills)- just becase they can't see because they can't work their car! :rant:

You had a bad experience then Strix darling?

Several. You got a Micra then, Hels dear? :D

Uughh Micra - don't swear at me! I got a fab Citroen C5!!! OK, so I can't afford anything better, but even I wouldn't stoop to a MICRA - can't say that word without wanting to spit!!!!

Ah, I'm not the only person with a Micra problem then? :hihi:

And Volvos (no apostrophe) with no steering wheel
And 4x4 Hondas that need allthe road
And Cavaliers with no indicators and want to get into your boot
And Novas with baseball cap wearing sprogs in
And women in MPVs parked on zigzag lines outside schools
And...... :D

How about any vehicle with Bull Bars - should be banned!

Furry Dice should not be allowed in cars


Bohemian Rhapsody on the stereo whilst driving should be compulsory :P:P:P

What, even the wonderful Nissan Skyline GTR? Think of it as a Japanese Ferrari.

And even the much cheaper Nissan 350Z looks wonderful.

Then you obviously haven't been to Australia where bull bars are de rigeur on 4x4s, pick-ups and vans.

They are also very common on regular cars. Mind you, if you do a lot of country driving in Oz, bullbars are a pretty good alternative to a 15 stone kangaroo coming through the windscreen and joining you in the front seat.

Not very likely in Sheffield, I grant you :)
