At the next set of lights a fukimng cyclist pulled up alongside me and

"Did you KNOWy our TAIL LIGHT was out". I gestured at the dash "Yes. The
car already told me that" and shut the window in his face.

Bless, they really get upset over the slightest things, don't they?

I pulled up alongside a white Sierra once (it was a while ago)
casually leaned over and asked the driver if he knew his car was on
fire.
Turned out he didn't and we both had a look underneath, where a fair
old bit of oil smoke and the odd flame was licking. Don't know exactly
what it was, but luckily he had an extinguisher - a decent sized one
too.
