OK ppls...

I want you to identify three aspects of the person who would've t-boned me yesterday on my morning commute, had I not second-guess what they were about to do. (There was traffic stopped and they were wanting to go from a side street across the stopped traffic and do a right-turn into the other carriageway. OF COURSE they didn't look in the CLEARLY MARKED CYCLE LANE!)

So, I want:

Gender :
Hair Colour :
Vehicle description/general classiciation :

This particular collection of attributes (but always different cars/people mind you) seems to be haunting me. I want to know if it's just me, or if it's commonplace.

Get to it. Answer in a day or so...

[Edited - Thx for the tip, as I gave away the gender]

Well you gave part of the game away, but in Sydney your perp would be an overweight Caucasian male driving a ute or a V8.

I find it's the women who cause me problems on the road. I noticed three stupid, only one of them not dangerous, moves yesterday and all three of them were done by women. So I'd go for

Woman
Brunette
Small car (eg peugeot 206)

But I guess the post before me got it right?

WyS

Male

Dark hair

Driving a people carrier minicab or bendy bus.

lateralus

white transit van

Gambatte

I'm going for a blonde woman driving a soft top.

My own personal experience is most problems I have are caused by blokes in older saloons, but I thought I might as well go for a real stereotype.

mtb.boy

Male

White hair

Taxi

AndyGates

Old white-haired man wearing a hat, driving a Volvo Estate?

The ones who wear hats are especially dangerous.

Gambatte

Male, couldn't see hair because of hat, marked police car?

spasypaddy

blonde female driving a 4x4/chelsea tractor

OK, well that's a pretty decent spread and it seems like we all have our run-ins with our own particular nemeses (that is the plural isn't it?)

I txted my friends and they generally came back with the correct response which was...

So spasypaddy gets the points!

I've now had around 10 different altercations with 10 different women (I assume) in 10 different 4WD/SUV/SoftRoader deals. All blonde. I keep thinking to myself are these the only ones I remember - and then I think, there have been others, but these are always the closest, and potentially most life-threatening misses. Perhaps it's a Melbourne thing?

I've just gotta watch out I suppose. And everyone else, watch out for your particular male/female, brown/grey/white/blonde/bald headed, taxi/bus/ute/volvo/convertible/4WD/small van driving moron!
