Follow the tail-lights out of the city

[venta]

One of these days I am going to get round to rigging up some LEDs in my rear windscreen so I can spell "BACK OFF" to the person driving way too close behind me.

I hate tailgaters :(

(Today's finally passed me when I was in the middle lane, pulling onto a roundabout to go straight on. He turned right, from the left hand lane, straight across my bows without a signal.)

They'd all be useful. I've noticed since driving more that while there are plenty of gestures which are handy for suggesting you blame the other driver for whatever happened, there really isn't a hand gesture for "sorry, my fault".

Incidentally, there is also a smell of handcream around J10 or J11 of the M40. I'm wondering if it's some flowery sort of crop that's in season around now ?

Well, there's the two hands off the wheel held up in a placating manner, combined with a shrug and facial indication of contrition, but I'm pretty sure that isn't in the Highway Code.

I rather suspect driving without hands on the wheel *is* in the Highway Code, just not as a Good Thing ;)

And there's a smell of piss all through Abingdon.
