That was malice. They were indulging in the favorite game, "Make the Bith/Cunt Jump". Please excuse the language but that is how those motorists think of pedestrians You are too generous in crediting your offending motorist with stupidity. That was malice.

I spent my late 20's as Highway Patrol Officer in California always waiting for some idiot to drive up my backside...so not paying attention drives me crazy... so here is to putting rubber bumpers on the shoulders like the kiddy bowling lanes and making cell talking hands free (the main reason besides being drunk for swerving.) Stay safe and watch you back. I just started blogging my travels in the Middle East so am following links from other blogs to funny posts like yours.

I am on a walk and the car drives as close as possible to me. If I wasn't in complete shock, I'd give the stuper a swift kick! This has happened to me!

In Britain there is a backlash against the number of ridiculous signs that credit people with no intelligence. Signs like 'don't sleep in the road' are almost here. In fact London Underground drivers have taken to going over the top in the face of stupid instructions from their bosses. For example, on a Friday one driver was reported over the speaker system saying something like: 'It's Friday. Get off the train. Walk up the stairs. Go home. Kiss your husband/wife. Sit down and relax'. The sooner this litigious state ends and we can return to common sensical living the better! Then at least we can more easily spot the stupid people as they will be standing around not knowing what to do! A lucky escape!
