Now that the cold weather is once again with us we see the usual group of numptys who come out of the house to shock, horror, a frosted-up car! Having paid little or no attention to the previous evening's weather forecast and not bothered to open a blind to check they find themselves with little or no time to spend defrosting the car and drive away partially blind.
Walking the dog around our residential neighbourhood this morning I saw quite a number of folk driving erratically and then stopping completely as the sunlight hit their screen. One or two had the 'letterbox' approach which must be akin to driving a tank but must hinder peripheral awareness. One guy in his new ML, a neighbour of mine and a really nice bloke drove past me half-blind and one handed as his other hand was holding a steaming mug of whatever.
All a bit tongue in cheek on my part but the consequences could be severe.
