Commuter shunts hit all time record today - roadside distractions are to blame? - News

A record number of 'shunts' have been reported during this mornings 'sunny' commuter hour in Essex. The majority of these have been minor shunts occuring in heavily populated high street areas. Although it is too early to confirm the exact reasons behind the 'bumper nudges' it is generally anticipated they have been due to drivers paying more attention to 'roadside distractions' rather than the car in front.

One Essex commuter commented "It was well funny coming in this morning - watching all the fella's checking out the girls. It was sunny, hot and there were legs, bums and boobs everywhere - best drive to work Ive had in ages!"

The recent spell of sunny weather and peak summer temperatures has resulted in a dramatic reduction in the amount of clothes being worn. Insurance companies are anticipating drivers involved to resolve the costs between them rather than admit the cause of their incident. Clothes retailers warn that hot-pants, floaty tops and a 'tight fit' are very fashionable this summer - so we can expect more incidents and stories of how 'the brakes just didnt seem to work luv?'

Trackdays advice to to all those involved in these 'shunts' is to try a trackday where there are no road side distractions or maybe a tank driving or stock-car racing where they can alleviate their 'frustrations' in a safe environment.
