This is not so much about the Yahoo story about a car driver who almost took out the M25 recently and the quick thinking HGV Driver who saved Xmas for a lot of people and himself from a lawsuit? This is about the comments about how people drive that follow the story.

What about the comments?

Cool vid btw.

Yes, what about the comments? It's people complaining about how some other people drive.

It's the dynamic of how people talk depending on who's in the room. The conversation on a major highway and the people talking are car drivers and HGV drivers is identical to the conversation on a city street where the people talking are car drivers and cyclists. HGV to car driver: you t**t. Car driver to cyclist: You T**t. Just an observation.

It's worth remembering the statistics that 1% of all of us, 10% of prisoners, 25% of violent prisoners and 86% of people who comment on UK news websites, are psychopaths.
