Mandatory Monthly Motorist Madness // at 12:00
< untitled | MAIN | Canons ahoy >
A grey morning, poor visibility, wet roads. Just what I need, first
moron of the month — the lady in the blue falcon wagon (OCR-023), she
sits beside me at the lights SMSing on her phone, then when the lights
go green drives off, eyes still firmly on the phone in her lap as she
veers into my lane towards me. I point at her and shout out, “Put the
phone down!” She looks shocked, she points at herself and shrugs
“What have I done?” her expression seems to ask as she drives off...
It must have been something about the weather though; nearly home this
evening, riding along in the cold and dark and rain, if anyone should
be in a bad mood I'd think it would be the cyclist and not the
motorist ensconced in their heated 4WD. With no traffic heading in
the opposite direction the driver of the black 4WD, RGO-346, couldn't
possibly pull out to overtake me, choosing instead to skim past inches
from my shoulder and blasting on the horn as they did so.
