Today, I came across the most stupid idiot on the road....

As I approached an R/A, which was fairly small, but a proper kerb'd one, not a paint spillage.

There is a car going round the R/A which appeared to have come from the left exit (as I look) and was going round. As there were no indicators, I held off and waited to see what he was going to do.

Well, he passed in front of me and I assumed he was turning around, but no, he went round again, circulating the R/A....

Now, not an unduly wierd thing to do apart from he was on the phone holding the wheel in one hand, trying to keep just the roght amount of lock on.

He was obviously lost and was "phoning a friend" to find out which way to go.

Well, I couldn't sit there waiting for him so saw my moment and made for my exit (safely)...

I could still see him in my mirrors still going round as I was 500 yards down the road.

Why not just pull over and have a sensible conversation instead of putting yourself and others at risk by blatent stupidity

He is far too important for that... Same as the rest of the morons who force me to brake/swerve because they are on the fecking 'phone.

As Einstein supposedly put it: "there are only two things that are infinite - the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe".

Yeah these are all over nowadays, no one seems to know what roundabouts are for now.

The big message everyone is hearing is from those safety camera guys, whose special cameras measure and photograph safety, is that you're definitely safe below the speed limit.

I'll bet you that those cameras would have detected no unsafety present in the idiot you saw, so he'll be free to remain safe causing chaos elsewhere. Woe betide you if you pass one of these safety devices thinking that you are safe - you'll soon learn to ignore all else on the road except for speed limit signs, clues for unposted 30 limits (however unlikely!) and of course the various cameras that measure your safety. I know I do.

Where are the BiB when you need them??? Imagine the driver's face if he was followed around the R/A by a BiB? rage
