I saw a chap this morning walking along the edge of the road. I don't know why, there was a perfectly useful pavement next to him. Anyway he had his ipod earpieces in and he had his back to the traffic. (one way street) As you can guess he was nearly clipped by a passing motorcycle. I've now seen the phrase "He jumped out of his skin" enacted.

However, he then continued, still walking on the road.  ::)

As a biker, I can laugh at that - I too "buzz" persons acting stupidly whilst having earphones drowning out the the traffic noises - or potential danger as it is properly called.

Better are the fag smokers (and I am one) who lob discarded fag butts out there window. With you visor down, it is merely irritating, but with it up, as happens depending on the weather, then it is downright dangerous. A swift rap on the side window with a kevlar clad glove also elicits the "jumping out of the skin" response - and normally a head/roof impact.

His head or yours?

His (or her) of course.

I would do the same to turnip pickers too, although the lofty altitude of a Massey Ferguson probably renders the spent fag butt problem inconsequential.

He was probably trying to avoid the cyclists. I had to have words with one this morning.  cussing:

Not quite.

She would have deprived him of a place to park his bike.  whistle:

Help is at hand Nick ~ there is a plan to fit loudspeakers behind the grill of electric cars that will make a noise like a "normal" engine ~ for those who have forgotten their green cross code like  whistle:
