As any fule kno, when you're in the car you're completely invisible to anyone outside the car.

This of course means that we all indulge in some behaviours that require us to be unseen.

What do you do in the car when you're on your tod?

(Note: "nose picking" is not in the poll because there are two kinds of drivers: those who pick their nose, and liars)

I play the invisible drumkit which is spread over the entire car. Probably look like I'm having a fit most of the time with my arms flailing all over the place.

Does shouting at people making cretinous manoeuvres count?

I play games and guess what the driver looks like in the car behind me, or check other drivers to make sure they are not on the phone which really annoys me

singing mostly. although sometimes I pretend to be a racing driver! although I often do this with miss VR turbo on board. it annoys her so much because I always brake late and go fast round corners. I get the grip of death on my arm if I go near the loud pedal.

I do this nearly every single time I get in the car.. I just can't deal with idiots on the road.

I also sing along alot, also pretend sometimes I'm a racing driver.. Linking the corners, or hitting the apex (White lines..)

I sing regularly, and badly.

Which has given many others a good laugh at the lights. I don't really care, as long as I'm happy smile

Travel Totty?

It's probably the same as Motorway Dating.

How it works:

(1) Pick a car - must be at least 50 yards away
(2) When you pass - check out the driver.

Scores are:

50 = attractive member of opp sex.
10 = similarly aged member of opp sex.
5 = any other member of opp sex.
- 50 = aged member of same sex.
- 10 = similarly aged member of same sex.
- 5 any other member of same sex.

Nose picking for me too. No matter how long the journey, there's always a bit more to find.

All of the above.

Especially fighter pilot. I once heard 633 squadron in the car, and my girlfriend laughed at me as I shot down a passing Ford Focus
