Cars
"Here in my car", said 80s pop hero Gary Numan, "I feel safest of all". He obviously never shared the same stretch of road as me, then. Automotive tales of mirth and woe, please.

It's not easy
Trying to sound like you're not telling them what to do, but at the same time trying to point out the impending disaster in a calm and efficient manner.
In the car with one chap once, he's doing 90ish on the inside lane of a clear road at night. Ahead there's ONE broken down car with it's hazards on.
I think "Surely he's seen it" and keep quiet.
We approach faster, with no visible intention of getting into the outside lane.
I mention "Ooh, what's that broken down car doing there" - an he shouts "Christ" and swerves into the outside lane.
God only knows where he was looking - it certainly wasn;t in front of us!
