The traffic has slowed to a deathly crawl, should we doff
our hats as a mark of respect?
Wait a minute though, no it’s not a funeral procession at all,
it’s just this columnist on a driving lesson holding you up and stopping you
getting to the place you need to go.
But before you start tutting and making rude gestures at me
in the rear view mirror, please just bear in mind I do have my uses too.
For while I may be delaying you when I stall at the traffic
lights for the umpteenth time and possess driving skills so questionable that
they made someone watching fall off their mobility scooter in disbelief, remember
that there is nothing quite like me to ruin the day of those nuisance boy
racers on their mopeds racing round your estates by making them trundle down
the highway at regulation speed.
And that alone should be worth your waiting in pure comedy
gold.
