  the life out of the poor girl. 3 - On Thursday night I was driving through the city at closing time when a young bloke who had obviously more alcohol in him than common sense decided he would run headlong towards oncoming traffic with both arms outstretched in a similar fasion to a primary school kid
• 'Death Trap' 22 Aug 2001 (Forum)
  that's the real problem and cause of accidents. But often it's because drivers in the line tailgate making it difficult to pull back in, that you chance another couple of cars.... Further up the road it's now 40 mph due to recent building of big housing estates and subsequent rise in young kids

• A Lovely "Day" Trip to Scarborough 11 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  and the moorland scenery more than made up for that omission. The downside to this tale, poor young Steve, who is to drive the BMW, when he gets his licence, will have to pay £3000 insurance, on a £450 car.
