This driver obviously played too many computer games!

Two and a half minutes of that was enough for me.

Needs his legs cut off... sorry I hope they trace and prosecute him.

Hmm. Stuck with it to the end. You just can't condone that kind of driving, particularly his insane lane-changing on the motorway. Once he gets out onto the single carriageways to be fair his overtakes are crisp and well-timed. I don't know if double-white line markings have the same meaning in the Czech Republic, but he certainly contravenes them enough times!

 

Sadly though, despite his exuberance he is definately a fatal collision waiting to happen.

Did you meant to type it that way?

[enforcer]

Er..yes...what do you mean?

[Mat-Moo]

To me that reads as though you think he is driving fine and legal, by saying you "can't condone it"...??

[enforcer]

My understanding of the verb 'condone' means to approve of?...... i.e. you can't condone this kind of driving....?

 

Condone

 

Not to be confused with 'condemn'?

condone means support it , or as dictionary.com puts it:
