WHO\'s driving that Car in front

My wife and I like to play "who's driving that car in front"
From the make of car, way it is driven, (speed, road position, indication or not...) you can tell the sex, age and general look of the person at the wheel. Resuls are confirmed as I overtake - so motorways are the best playground. i.e.
Austin Maestro driving at 60 on the side line = 75 year old bloke.
Jeep in the middle lane at 75, with no-one in the inside lane for miles = middle aged guy with a black labrador and flat cap, trying to prove he owns the world.
Renaul Scenic outside lane - Middle aged woman with 8 kids in the back totally unaware that there are other cars on the road.
Try it.
Then do the same for Boats walking around the Marina. Bit harder to find an owner and the game may last for weeks. When he/she is spotted it is worth the wait. Amazing how many boats never get used !!

Re: So you\'re driving that car in front...

This is far too sexist and ageist and nothing to do with boats. However, on the way to the boat, or at most other times drivers playing car games is diverting and impossible at elevated speeds. If a car behind with outside indicator closes at 50-60 with occassional full beam, move over

Being ????ist about Car drivers is totally acceptable as I drive a "People Carrier" and you can look down on everyone except 4x4's. so I want a big one of these.
Anyway it was most definatelly about boat owners, the car bit was to broach the subject gently. Imagine being directly sexist, ageist or any other form of ist about a boat owner.
