Stuff stuck to the windscreen

[S100HP]

Spotted this earlier today. That's a phone and a sat-nav. He also had a dash cam on the rear view mirror...

Seems to be more common now... even spotted a couple of learner drivers with sat nav bang in the field of vision. Such types should be given a wide berth, if they're too useless or unconfident to glance as a screen positioned in the corner then what else can't they see when driving?

A few years ago I followed a women in a a small car driving erratically. as I got closer I could see she was leaning her head to one and resting her head on the window. I decided it would be better to be passed her and on my way. I overtook only to see she had the sat nav right in her view so she had to lean over to see round it.

I cant believe how common this seems to be now. Didn't get a picture, but spotted an ipad stuck to the windscreen directly under the mirror the other day!!

Also nice to see a good relaxed grip on the steering wheel.

Rather than the lifetime ban that would be far safer for us all.

MOT failure too.

Thumbs wrapped round the wheel

Never happen. Cameras don’t spot that...

Everyone seems to do it, common sense has all but gone in modern society.

Saw a learner driver a few days ago with the L-plate itself stuck right in the middle of the screen. They're pretty big. Must have caused a huge blind spot.

I can't recall if it was on here or someone posting it to my local police Twitter, but there was a picture of a police car similarly adorned. The police often fall foul of this one as they seem to stick devices to their windscreens instead of having them properly integrated or mounted lower.

Considering that by definition people CHOOSE to stick these devices in their line of sight they should definitely be Darwind out of the gene pool.

Noticed a massive (A5 at least) glastonbury sticker slap bang in the middle of the windscreen of a Ford KA the other day, imo it should be instant disqualification or at least 6 points.

Morons... and see similar on a daily basis.

Of perhaps more concern is that he is wearing a hat whilst driving. An infallible predictor of incompetence behind the wheel.

Traffic cops used to educate/fine such idiots, now we have cameras instead which are blind to everything but speed.

I saw an unmarked police car a few weeks ago with a satnav right in the way so some of them are no better.

It's Mrs Bouquet on her way to a W.I. meeting. En-route she's probably listening to the Archers on the wireless & watching re-runs of Dixon of Dock Green on her phone.

Pfft. Amateur. Try getting in a taxi in Asia with a dozen dangly bits hanging off the mirror & half a Bhuddist temple on the dash competing with the toll pass reader, taxi meter, taxi booking screen & at least two phones.

Obviously driving on instruments.

Look at the way they ferociously grip the wheel!
