Is it any wonder that there are accidents?
On our way home from Blackpool this afternoon via the M6 we had a bit of a surprise. In the lane next to us there was a chappie driving a HGV at approximately 60mph in quite heavy traffic with one leg dangling out of the window of his cab.
Ok, so it was a bit warm, but what would have happened if he had to stop suddenly? It was only last night that we got stuck in a five mile tailback of traffic caused by an accident at more or less the same spot.

Are you sure it was his leg?

It might have been a prosthetic leg, he might have just spilt a drink on it and been drying it out of the window
 (she says with tongue firmly in cheek)

Re: Is it any wonder that there are accidents?
What with mobile phones, people picking their noses, general disregard for the highway code and now legs dangling out of windows. I hardly dare to get into the car...

Re: Is it any wonder that there are accidents?
Are we sure it was his leg? Could it perhaps have been someone else's leg? That could imply an even more dangerous situation.

Re: Is it any wonder that there are accidents?
Did he have a "how's my driving?" sign on the vehicle; I would have rung the number there and then and maybe even photographed the offending appendage!

Who was the appendage offending?

Re: Is it any wonder that there are accidents?
I see some horrendeous sights on the motorways. Ladies doing their makeup, Blokes having a shave, reading newspapers, etc. Best one ever was a traffic cop in a range rover TEXTING!
