To the idiot in the black Vectra.........

To the idiot in the black Vectra who on Thursday morning at around 07:45 am nearly caused a crash on the Parkgate Road roadabout, coming from the M56 and heading towards the A5117.
Maybe next time you are driving to work, you will take the time to consider why it is illegal to use a mobile phone whilst driving. Could it be anything to do with the fact that there are idiots like you, who think you can slipstream a lorry coming off the M56 over the roundabout and simply carry on without stopping or looking and only noticing the two lanes of traffic already on the roundabout when every car you nearly caused to crash into you sounds their horn at you?
You were very lucky everyone had slowed down because of the lorry.
And I am sure everyone appreciated the very nice hand gesture you offered in way of thanks for them not crashing into you.

It always seems to be Vectra drivers.
Did you take his Reg? Report the !!!!!!.If you will the end, you must will the means.0 -
Yeah, sorry about that.
I'd just upset some coffee into my lap,and after my shaver slid down the side of my seat I was trying to do up my seatbelt, and what with the sun reflecting off the laptop, and then the phone rings...
By the way I wasn't gesticulating -I was trying to flick some piping hot fried onions from my hotdog off of my fingers- you need to pay more attention.
Same time, same place Monday morning? Look forward to it.0 -

Perhaps the police should be given powers to confiscate mobile phones from these idiots.0

Oh well - perhaps he'll meet his end one of these days - I just hope no-one else is involved when he slams into something at 80mphIf you will the end, you must will the means.0 -
