Insults at the wheel

A British pensioner was recently involved in an unusual incident when trundling his mobility scooter down the middle of a busy road. The driver of a vehicle wishing to overtake was unable to do so safely at first and when he remonstrated with the pensioner, was given a rude gesture and a string of insults in return. The incident was captured on the driver’s dashcam device and it appeared that the pensioner was extremely drunk at the time. Meanwhile young horse riders were the target of a string of insults from a driving instructor, desperate to overtake. When the horse riders, aged 12-14, heard this they felt threatened and pointed out that due to the land on either side of the road being privately owned, the animals had to move along the roadway. However this explanation was not sufficient for the instructor who responded with yet more insults, as well as complaining that the horse riders should clear up any mess the animals left in the road way. As the riders filmed the incident they were able to report it and when the complaint was passed on to the firm, the driving instructor was later fired from his job. It is not clear if he has learned his lesson.
