I was driving through Clifton (a housing estate) this afternoon, following a black SmartCar (the sports one – reg no. P053 JWN ).<\/p>\n
Along Southchurch Drive it was driving quite normally, but outside the shops near the Southchurch flats it slowed right down and then proceeded to drive slowly and erratically\u00a0as it went\u00a0 left at the roundabout on to Farnborough Road. I moved into the bus lane (which is not in operation at this time), but was wary of this car because it went half into the bus lane, then moved out again… and continued to weave until it came to the traffic lights. Even here, it stayed in the right-hand lane, but moved partly over into the bus lane, coming to a stop at the junction in the right-hand lane again.<\/p>\n
I didn’t pay it much more attention, until I glanced at the driver and she was texting. She was so intent on the text that she missed the lights change to green. As she turned right on to the A453 she saw me looking at her and she stayed behind me then. I turned off to go towards West Bridgford, but she carried on and judging by the way she moved to the left lane afterwards she was still texting!<\/p>\n
These people deserve lifetime driving bans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
