    1. Understand completely why you not in front of him. Saw a cyclist being harrassed by an open bed truck years ago really scary. several cars following the truck started blowing horns when the driver got out of his cab.

    2. I think this is the most nonchalant one I've seen so far.

      I bet he cared more when he got the letter (assuming he did get one, that is).

    3. Its even worse looking at your phone at night time, because it temporary blinds you when you look away from the bright screen and takes a second or two for your eyes to adjust to the difference.

    4. Odd driving behaviour there. He starts to swerve into the 2nd lane when moving off after being caught, but cancels. He then stays as far left as possible, knowing he has a right turn coming up. He definitely isn't focused on driving.

    5. in zijn geval staat BMW voor "blij met weinig" (hersencellen)…
      vooral omdat hij je heel "trots" zijn smartphone laat zien, hetgeen niet zo "smart" is.
      🤪
