All good, as long as the car has bluetooth, and your phone does too.

My car has a bluetooth kit, but due to an unfortunate fall into a sink, the bluetooth does not work on my phone. So, earpieces for me... And I can still hear the other traffic around me

Every time I encounter one I am scared to death of what unpredictable thing it might do, from sideswiping to lane changing without looking to entering busy traffic always causing other drivers to take evasive action. They are driven by Automotive Skills Deficiency Syndrome (ASDS) sufferers and the only predictable thing they do is drive under the speed limit.

In fact, after some research I found that Ford drivers won't fit into the Camry as the seats no longer have the option of being slide back. To cater for their customers, Toyota announce that the new range of drivers seat travel is on the steering wheel to just under the steering wheel/face on the windscreen.

As for Camry Hybrid? Well that's just a double negative isn't it?
Prius? Ecotards. I call on all the powerstroke people to roll some coal on them.
Corolla? Crossed between Camry drivers and then those who think PSP is a mode of transport. Either way, prolific phallic heads.
Yaris? Like tampons, drivers are up tight little c....s

Ban Toyota cars. 4WD's sort of OK, but at least 50% of these people would be better suited in a Camry.
I'm going to write Gladys Berijicklean on my ideas.


I agree.
I made a similar post on here few weeks ago, but I was told by multiple people I was being stupid because the car you drive does not affect the way you drive.

But anyway, I agree. Many Toyota driver are hopeless.

I drive a Toyota everyday for work. Thank God its not a Corolla or Camry.

Can't say much for the first, but i've intercepted a few people that wear their seatbelt UNDER their right shoulder - All that i've come across have a medical exemption for wearing it in this manner

Can be for a number of reasons such as pregnancy, stroke, obesity etc

This a true story. Many years ago my brother had a marked police car behind him approaching a set of lights they went yellow. Not wishing to risk any undue attention he pulls up. Bingo rear ended. 1 sheepish copper emerges and apoligises. No dramas with insurance on that one.
So there you you go hulky your not the only one that anticipates what someone else is going to do.

Lol, I have seen enough with my own eyes to understand exactly where you are coming from. I am absolutely convinced that being a clueless, brain dead ****wit with zero driving skills is a prerequisite for owning a Toyota. Yes I know I shouldn't generalise, but the evidence speaks for itself.

You must have been following too close if it was that extreme.
