Now of course it's no one elses fault but my own that I forgot the car was in gear but taking a bit more care meant I just stalled and went forward slightly rather than hitting the other car up the backside.
Why not? :pQuote:

- People who can't be arsed to indiciate are infuriating, particularly at roundabouts.
- People who drive along with their fog lights on when there's absolutely NO sign of fog.
-tail gaters
- People who dip their headlights far too late (AFTER you've been temporarily blinded)... or don't even bother at all.
Are you going to tow them to the other side of town, then? Then drive back there and then to where ever you were going?Quote:

I've done that about three times in the last few weeks, each time on a frosty morning when my car is frozen over. The sequence is start the engine into gear, heater onto full, rear window heater on, pick up scraper and de-icer, hop out to scrap the windsree.........oh bugger :dozey:Quote:

No, I would tow them to some side street or someplace where they can park and try to repair the car or wait for assistance.Quote:
