Dangerous imbecile of the week

[Rovinghawk]

My vote goes to this man (taken by dash cam before anyone comments)

[Pints]

What am I looking at?

[Rovinghawk]

Look at the board sticking 2 metres out of the passenger window. When stationary it points mostly forward. At 40+ mph it was bending 90 degrees & just missing the lampposts.

I can beat that, spotted this moron when on holiday last year. They drove along like this with the sofa only being held in place by their hands stuck out of a front window on either side.

I once had to overtake (in the middle of a town) and stop a dirty great HGV that had just driven out of his depot with an approximately 8 foot long metal stanchion stuck out at right angles to the back of the trailer unit at load bed height on the nearside. If I'd not done that pretty sharpish it would have very seriously injured and more probably killed by decapitation the next pedestrian along the pavement.

Are you sure that's not a lamp post?

I was behind him for 2 miles- I'm sure. Look at the white board in the first photo, sticking out to the left; the bubblewrap wouldn't save anyone he hits with that thing.

It's amazing what people think is safe and appropriate to transport!

Can remember watching an episode of Road Wars a while ago and the officer on camera stopped someone driving with an extra car width's worth of MDF hanging out of the side! Needless to say he was fined and ordered to cut it up! Ludicrous!

I needed to open the photo up to full size to be able to see anything, I thought you were just another crazy poster.

It's the PH anti-cyclist device.

I think this guy comes close, tread as smooth as a baby's arse on both sides

But does the fact that there are clearly stones lodged in the tyres show he has plenty of depth to the tread itself??

Possibly, I just know the tread was smooth

There's loads of tread depth there. Are you on drugs?

Was the building attached to the sofa?!

I think you should take your baby to the doctor.

Not sure what smiffy thinks is wrong with those lorry tyres? The tread is clearly deep enough to pick up small stones. The tread blocks might not have any pretty sipes or fancy pattern on them, but that's not what the nice man from VOSA would be interested in.

I'll rethink this.


I'm guessing they're ditch finders since they look nothing like that. I can't imagine them being safe in any damp conditions
