what is it with car drivers on the motorways?
( and no its not a mr chas style rant)
but why do you see so many cars now with rear windows totally obscured by matresses and duvets? is it a trend i have missed?

Its because of resource shortages in the NHS.The govt now insisit that all car drivers carry bedding so that when the myopic bastards run over a Biker the poor sod at least will have bedding when he reaches hospital. :)

i believe it is the cheaper option than having airbags

Surely this method will only protect them when reversing into things at speed!

not at all. in fact they are showing consideration for bikers, so when they suddenly realise that they need to turn off the road and brake hard without even checking to see if anyones behind them, the resulting impact of the bike hitting them and sending the rider through the rear screen will be cushioned by said duvets.

Caught on years ago car drivers are always braking suddenly and doing right turns in front of bikers without looking. :mad:

Obviously the spiralling housing prices have taken their toll on the pocket of the first time buyer.
I moved our family into an old Trabant some time ago too.

By the way - my name and the word "style" aren't often used in the same breath.
