Nah, You all have got it wrong!

Put right arm out of window at all times, (it gets a nice tan that way). :lol: Use the left arm only for steering, lighting the fag, using the mobile, showing the V sign to all and sundry, tuning the radio. Oh and changing gear. If your left arm is busy with any of the forementioned tasks then use your right arm. :D

It is always nice to chat to other drivers on duel carriageways so be sure to keep all the windows open and ensure that you are doing either 100mph or 5 mph - never anything in between those speeds, (the police don't like that) :wink:

And lastly, make sure they enjoy themselves with a few pints of the Keo/Leon etc before driving,(it makes for a nice relaxed atmosphere in the car).

The only other pearl of wisdom I can think of is to drive on the pavement -it is probably safer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am out in September so see you there :D

When an ambulance whizzes past through traffic turn on your emergency lights and follow it and that way everyone will think that you’re a close relative of the unfortunate person in the ambulance and give way! 8)

When you stop at red lights and the driver on your right is busy picking his nose start staring at him while picking yours and shout “snap!” :?

Cypriots love it when you can relate to them! Can we have a volunteer try this out and post the outcome please?

When snotty kids are staring at you from the back of their car and making funny faces at you, make funny faces back for as long as it takes for the kids to tell their mum that there’s a crazy grown up making funny faces and she will happily slap them for disturbing her whilst driving… Revenge is sweet! 8)
