If God had wanted us to drive a manual, he would have given us three arms and three legs ::)

Seriously though, only an idiot drives with one hand on the steering wheel, except, of course, when changing gear.

Or.. In this day and age, making a phone call, sending a text message, changing a CD, preening themselves in the rear-view mirror... ::)

Or, for customer's using the local BP, drinking their coffee and stuffing their bagel that took so long for the retarded till staff to prepare, whilst trying to join a busy dual carriageway.

In fact, all these retarded petrol stations selling coffee and other pointless wank, they should be forced to police that said drinks/snacks are consumed before the retarded driver is allowed to leave the building.


Smoking whilst driving is another pet hate that should be banned

EWW! The staff must have significantly better personal hygiene than at my local BP if people actually eat stuff they prepare! :o

Just that we have become very PC apparently. ::)......and that Im a complete idiot. ;D
I have a habit of driving with just one hand on the wheel,when Im driving quite slowly.Not the best of habits granted,but doesnt really do any harm either imo,when ambling along at 30mph.Probably comes from having been a smoking driver for years (in the past),and years of driving manuals,which led to the habit of driving with left hand on the gearstick. :)
