Hood as in clothing not as in soft-top roof or bonnet.

Chap passed me yesterday, wearing a hoodie type garment with the hood up.

I'd love to see a flow chart of the thought progression which leads to driving down the motorway with your hood up.

No doubt he's a top notch driver and much safer than me staring out with my big bug eyes.

Perhaps it works like blinkers on a horse - focussing the attention exclusively on the road ahead.

I believe the appropriate translation is this:

Presumably because he was an ignorant wker. Did he spit on the floor at any point?

I sometimes drive with my hood up when my hood's down in colder weather.

Why not put your hood up? Then you could put your hood down.

When you're driving whilst disqualified, it's fairly essential fare.

The hood down / hood up combo, especially when combined with a snood in particularly cold weather, is much more fun.

The only hood I possess is on my MX-5, otherwise I'd give your combo a try.

To get warmth and visibility you should get a balaclava, tightwads.

No matter where you go and whatever the temperature, you will see a 20 year old lad wearing a puffer jacket and one of those wky skull cap Beanie hat things, like "Craaaig Daavid" used to wear, oh and the arse of his jeans somewhere south of his knees

Interesting I saw a guy the other day with 2 hoods on, a grey one inside a green one. I assumed he had a hoody top and hoody jacket. To be fair he had them both pulled back a bit so it was clear of his field of view but then that makes them slightly more pointless.

I would have thought maybe it was because they were uncomfortable to lean back on but he was almost head butting the windscreen while driving. He was a proper stereotype though, in a fully chavved up Saxo.

a guy i used to work with constantly had his hood on
he actually used to have his hood up and wear his hard had on top of it and when he was driving the hood would be up
it didnt improve his driving, quite the opposite infact
once he nearly put me off the road but pulling halfway out of a junction and on to the road whilst i was approaching at 70 in a saxo
when i pulled him up about it, he said it was what i got for giving him a telling off for not operating a pontentially dangerous piece of equipment in a dangerous manner

anyway he was a tt that never took his hood off, we used to wind him up rotten about it but he would never give a explination as to why he constantly wore it but had the audacity to tell everyone that he saw someone wearing a pair of chinos and it offended his eyes

Don't see a problem with this tbh. What ever gets you in the zone.
