That's great!

I wonder how long it took him to realise he still had is indicator on.

Best part was the typical Mini driving - in and out of lanes, passing and re-passing. All good fun.

I bet the other motorists wondered what the hell was going on, seeing a swarm of buzzing Minis and the big Queen Bee in the middle. :-D

Watto. :shock:

I love that video! Must find the matching footage shot from the back of the SUV.

A lot of Aussie drivers could learn from the good use of indicators by most of the drivers in this clip.

I hate people that change lanes without indicating.

The one white Mini in the clip that does it almost collects the camera car.

Watto. :shock:

I'd buy that for a thousand pounds. Would be ideal for heading to the race track.
Not that I need another project though.

NOT looking good for Mr Watto :roll:

To obtain this here Bus Driving Licence, applicants must be at least 21 years old (MENTAL AGE), have had a current C-class (car) drivers licence for at least 12 months, undergo an eyesight test (WATTO IS ONE EYED!) and pass a test based on information in the Victorian Bus and Truck Driver's Handbook (BELIEVE HE CAN READ...).

Training may be undertaken with an employer, driving school, an experienced heavy vehicle licence holder or by a VicRoads-accredited training and testing provider. Contact VicRoads for further information. You also need to supply character references (CHARACTER REFERENCES!! HEE HEE HEE!) and a police clearance with a criminal check (WHY DO THEY GET CRIMINALS TO DO THE CHECK???).

Ah, but I've got them on that, because I've had my Heavy Rigid vehicle license for 20 years.

I got it when they let anyone do it.

So, there!.
