I recently took a coach from Oxford to London. Don't ask, it was a works thing. I hate coaches.

8am peering out the window in slow / start / stop traffic on the M4 / A34 I decided to play a little game. Lets see how many people I can spot on there mobile phones.


The first thing i noticed was the sheer amount of cleavage and leg you get to see from a coach window. I can only imagine the sheer joy on coach and lorry drivers faces during those hot summers days!


The second trend was that women are by far the worst offenders. Especially in stop start traffic. For some reason as soon as they stop, are about to stop or even look like they might be slowing. The phone is out and head is down.

Another observation... Why do people think it is OK to hold the mobile phone in their hands, but have it on speaker phone? Still looking at it, occasionally tapping buttons. Often holding it up directly in their field of vision.

Finally, about 10 ish people were watching videos on the phone. What the juddering fk goes through these peoples minds!

All in all, I counted 93 in an hour and half journey. And 3 crashes ware some one had simply driven up the arse of another.
