Instant Idiot...

Instant Idiot, Just add Kids... or the most dangerous place in OJ

As usual, EVERYONE ELSE is the "Bad Driver"...

OK fellow parents, we all know that your child is the single most important thing in the world… to the exclusion of all other living things, but how about taking a chill pill when it comes to the daily school run…

I was being Mr Mum & doing the Silly Boys School run & I saw the following offenses (both to traffic rules of the Socialist Republic of NSW & to common sense…)

Double parking

Triple parking

Parking in the Bus drop of zone (as obviously that school bus heading down the road is NOT going to the school)

Talking on the mobile phone whilst driving in a school zone (but only after they have dropped of their own little Eponie’Rae…)

I would also estimate that these are the same people who sneer that “young people today just show no respect for the rules of society…” & complain about the poor driving of the “others” out there in the world. And everyone wonders why motorcyclists get driven over in broad daylight!

Somehow, I can’t see hi-vis riding gear making the least bit of difference to this whilst everyone thinks it is someone else that is the problem…

Anyway, just something to think about fellow inhabitants of Planet Earth

On Maters of Size...

So one of the features that the Silver Surfer has, is the spiffy glove box behind the leg shield... A lot of Vietnamese Vespas have these, & a lot have super cool Mod-Squad style Union Jacks & stuff on the doors....

Not the Surfer; Silver door only!

Despite this, I do find the glove box bloody useful.

A diary, mail, house keys, spare shopping bag, water bottle & a spare L plate for the Child Bride... all this with room to spare. How good are the old Vespas! The eagle eyed readers will note the bodgey wiring...

When I go to collect the mail from the post box, I find that the glove box is the best way to cart the letters home. It is also big enuf to fit a water bottle (in the case that I should get thirsty, OR, if the Surfer should get mad at me & decide to break down when I am hooning about the place, which would see me push him home!

Even though the box isn't truely waterproof, it does keep things fairly well out of harms way & I seem to be able to fit a poo-load of stuff in there...

So Mote it Be
