nixy Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I was approaching a roundabout this morning - the usual routine crawling up to it in a queue. Looked in my mirror and the woman behind me in a mini was putting mascara on in her rear view mirror! Now I know some of you guys have probably never worn mascara (and some have - Nurrish, Ian, Zedrush....) but i was astounded! Lipstick is bad enough but mascara!! I was just waiting for her to run into the back of my car. What she was doing is far more dangerous than using a mobile phone - i wasn't in the best of moods this morning and really felt like getting out of the car and telling her off!

Wasso Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Nixy you really do get a lot of stress driving to work in the mornings.... I'd suggest taking public transport - could be safer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 You should of got out of the car Nixy and told the stupid bitch to get up earlier in the morning . Does my head in this type of thing . Though if i had seen Markie putting on make up in my rear view mirror i would have made an exception Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest taking public transport - could be safer Can't get public transport from my house but yeah you're right - an abundance of bimbos at roundabouts on my journey it seems! You should of got out of the car Nixy and told the stupid bitch to get up earlier in the morning . Does my head in this type of thing . Seriously - i'm with you on that one, i can't believe someone would be that dumb to think that is acceptable when driving! I was watching her prodding her eyes with her mascara in the mirror while crawling up to the back of my car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Best i have seen is someone cleaning there teeth!! i've seen shaving as well but that's a bit different to prodding your eyes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 The standard of driving in general is very poor at the moment. But what does my head in, is been a few miles over the speed limit is only ever penalised today. If i was a traffic officer i would be the biggest bastard under the sun when on patrol. All them that fail to indicate off roundabouts would be pulled over, poor lane discipline pulled over, mobile phone use pulled over, etc. Person driving correctly but just a few miles an hour over the speed limit ignored I would need a new little book every single day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such as people when sat at traffic lights and then as the lights change they make a right hand indication - why don't they just pre-warn people that when they are going to turn in any given direction they apply enough notice to other road users. This I find infuriating! The other annoying this people who pull out of junctions without looking, oh and 50% of them on the phone. Then there's those who sit in the middle lane of a Motorway - especially when the darn motorway is empty - rare occasion being empty, but when it's very quite these people frustrate me. Phew - rant over..... feel better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 This woman wasn't stationary though - she was crawling up to the roundabout behind me while only looking in her mirror to put her make up on and not at the road or my car. Smoking in the car is gross but no comparison in terms of danger to putting make up on. You don't need to look in the mirror to smoke!

Jay Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 AHHHH but what if you drop your fag or the ash burns you......... your instincts would kick in and try get the thing off you ..... thus not paying attention to the road and before you know it........

mattbowey Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I used to smoke whilst driving, not in the zed but in my mazdarati i had before it, and i don't think its dangerous, lighting up can divert your attention but if i had a passenger i would always get them to light one for me and pass it to me. had the end fall of a tab whilst driving before and it was a simple case of pull over and make sure it was out. there is always somewhere to stop. as for the make up girl, at least she was using the rear view mirror and not the vanity mirror in the sun visor, which i've seen, and like nixy, nearly got out and told the silly bitch off.
