I was that male driver behind her.
I didn't have the heart to tell her that she had tucked her skirt into her knickers too.

Razza, Wasn't being nasty or nice. Someone else would have noticed it was a recent thread. Why did you not nudge previous one as usual?? Excerpt from previous thread below:

Sheesh John - if you find it amusing then just let it be!
I think it is hilarious because it is mainly us blokes who like to think we get it right even when we don't - you may check the mirror whilst waiting at the ATM but we check the tyres, oil, water and pretend we know what we are doing and then break down half a mile down the road and call the AA after persuading the wife to sit in the driving seat so they don't think it is us who know nothing about cars
