United Kingdom 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 S Manual Zermatt SilverDiscovery 3

Its not only the high speed loonies who are asking for a body bending experience, its those who just pull out of side roads with no thought for what is going on around them. Three times in the last few days I've seen it happen - a line of traffic moving steadily is totally disrupted by the car that comes out of a side road right in front of a member of that line, then drifts along at 25% of the speed of the line, everyone behind has to brake and slow down to their speed. Worst of all was the first one - traffic was doing about 20-25mph (road was wet, not icy) about a road width in front of me, so close that I really thought I was going to hit It (I say "It" because I couldn't identify the driver's sex) even on a dry road (ABS works very well), and proceeded at 5mph to a bus stop where it pulled in to pick someone up, on passing I saw that It was trying to look at the road through an envelope sized cleared patch on the iced up windscreen, and nothing cleared on the side screens - little wander It didn't see my D3 looming up with its nose digging into the ground.
