Reps who drive bottom of the range bmws.

People who drive "classic" cars at 15mph and think we all think it's "cute".

Women who spend their journey doing their makeup in the mirror.

People who wear driving gloves.

People who drive really old Rollers/jags/bentleys when they are worth less than a hatchback.

Hatchback drivers.

People with "baby on board" stickers like it adds a forcefield round their car.

People who put headlight eyelashes on their cars.

People who's cars look like the parts bin at Halfords

Cars with nodding dogs.

Sunvisors with Gary and Shirley on. :angel:

Young lads who lower the car, widen the arches, fit a spoiler, tint the windows, fit wider wheels and even wider exhaust then respray the car some lairy colour - it's no way to treat the rusty old Fiat Punto that your mam bought you for 200 quid !

He meant initiating braking and indicating at the same time. Not actually braking and indicating at the same time, which obviously you have to do. As in, you should indicate in plenty of time before performing the manoeuvre (braking to turn). If you only flick the indicators as you stamp on the brake, you haven't given anybody much 'indication' as to your intentions to perform a manoeuvre.

Think your right, it has floated over my head. :yes: What BB meant was people who leave indicating till they are actually breaking, as opposed to indicating before they start breaking.
