Dear Top Gear,

On my daily commute to work I suffer from the stupendously bad knowledge of traffic rules by cyclists. I get over this by dreaming of an amazing video, where the same type of driving is carried out by cars. It would include
  • turning right just to fall over
  • not stopping at a red light or a stop sign, regardless of incoming traffic
  • not yielding to vehicles in a roundabout but diving into people already in it
  • driving slowly side by side taking both of the lanes, chatting away
  • driving on the pavement and not on the lane dedicated for your vehicle
  • turning across two lanes without checking the mirror or indicating a turn
  • all this without seatbelt or lights, in the dark, while texting a friend, listening to music and drinking a latte
And an extra one for the pedestrians near extremely busy bikeways:
  • trying to cross a highway whilst staring at your smart phone
If you could make this video a reality, I would be eternally grateful.
