I can't talk now, I'm doing a three point turn...

I was driving home this evening after going out to buy some bits for the garden and on one of the roads approaching my house, which is about a car length in width, there was... a car. Sort of stretched right across the road at a bit of an angle like someone was doing a three point turn and got a bit bored.

I pulled up, waiting for something to happen and then, eventually, it kind of lurched across the other side of the road and on to the pavement.

The reason? The plank was actually on the phone. He didn't even stop after he mounted the pavement. I couldn't quite believe it, but there it was. It must have been a really important call. Or perhaps he was just a twunt.

I favoured him with a steely look and my 'taking the phone away from your ear' mime, that I learned from the Rozzers on Road Wars on Sky TV.

It does rather go to show how distracting people find mobile phones though. Even though we've had this phone/driving ban in place for some time and they have now upped the fine and points, I don't appear to see fewer people doing it.
