We'll be getting into the bread cake argument next
I had pikelets for tea every Sunday for my entire childhood in Leeds. Crumpet was a good looking young woman back then.

I could answer that, but not without being rude, so I wont. out of respect for those with a bus pass

I ain't got me bus pass yet. These fooking conservatives have put it back for another two years. Bastads!
And I know enough not to go shopping with women

as do I, now, but life at 17 doesn't come with instructions, or the combined wisdom of RLFans in my case!
and I'd argue it was Labour that spent the money that the Conservatives have had to claw back, but that's for a different thread, that I've avoided because Sin Bin is more "socialist worker" than it's healthy.

Your conscious mind is concentrating on the road ahead, but your unconscious mind picks up the "threat" and reacts to it.
Good answer, to add;
Your eye takes in far more information than you are aware of. Your brain will focus on whatever is in your field of vision, that’s the bit that looks in focus. Although detail is missing outside of this narrow part of your vision, you are still very good at detecting movement. It can be very funny watching somebody react to something moving quickly towards them from the corner of their eye.
If you wish to look at another driver, try moving your head more slowly, or even better just swivel your eyes, far less movement, and much less chance of the driver noticing you are looking at them, it works in other situations where you may not wish others to know you are looking.

Why do some people pull onto a motorway, and without even approaching another car move into the middle lane, and then completely regardless of the road conditions around them, stay in the middle lane?
And also, why do some drivers (usually in an Audi or BMW) think that when changing lanes with a car on the inside or outside of them, they don't have to use their indicators because other drivers will just get out of the way for them?
Finally. Do the Super League Stobart lorries exist?

can I also add, why do people stop at the end of acceleration lanes, it's an ACCELERATION LANE!
why do people smoke when driving, one of the two will kill you, why combine them?

You really are pathetic, aren't you?
Does a rhetorical question require a question mark?
Thus was ale at first created... best of drinks for prudent people; Women soon it brings to laughter. Men it warms into good humour, but it brings the fools to raving.
