Great drivers

Had an amusing run in this evening on night shift. Was driving around the airport, getting to an Airplane we had to work on when one of the airport traffic enforcement car's swerved out from a junction in front of us. Causing "T" who was at the wheel to hit the brakes. Sending us to a screeching halt. "T" was absolutely enraged. Immediately his window came down and all manner of hand gestures waved from it and the appropriate words yelled out as well. "S" who was in the car tried to calm "T" telling him it ain't worth it that these traffic guys are always tanked up on a power trip and could make life difficult if offended. But "T" just wouldn't let up. Sure enough the traffic car stopped and wheeled round along side us. His window came down. And the conversation went as follows...

"T" "What the hell were you doing? You don't just cut out in front of people! It's not just you who uses the road!"

Traffic guy, "All you people. All like this. You come over here, we teach you how to drive. And then you think you know everything, think you know it all."

And with that he wound his window back up and sped off. All of us sat in the car lost for words. Dumb founded. Teach us how to drive??? OMG if they taught us how to drive we'd all be dead a long time ago. These are the same people stack their cars once the slightest curve in the road presents itself. The same people who breast feed their babies and talk on a mobile phone whilst driving.
