So true...you just never know what the eejit who is driving has been doing or taking.

It certainly is true CC. Whether walking, cycling, driving, whatever - you can do everything you like, but all it takes is a drunk driver losing control round the next corner.
Sobering thought (but not too near the surface, otherwise I'd never go out the door again).
Further you never know if they have passed any sort of test, have insurance, or that the car is not stolen and they are joy riders.
WC, you're nowhere near cynical enough:

Police said it appeared a cyclist had collided with the car, sending it into a tree before flipping it onto its roof. "These things happen," Inspector Foo told the Evening Rag, "and in the driver's favour, his windscreen wipers weren't working so the cyclist would have been very hard to see."
