The pub I used to work had a farmer who would sink 6-8 pints every night then drive home in his MASSEY FERGUSON 8690.

Like so many films these days unfortunately. No focus on quality, just pump them out as fast as possible. We’re well out of the golden age and it’ll take a big shift in mentality from the money men to return us to quality output.

Seconded.
It used to baffle me but over the years I’ve learnt by being a passenger with other drivers that things like chatting and holding onto your vape like it’s a flotation device are higher priorities than the road.
Oh, there’s another one. Vaping at the wheel. It’s way worse than conventional smoking because many people just do not put them down, ever. So they’re basically driving with 1.5 hands at most.
