SLAP finding 22749

Post by mik »

This driver – lets refer to him as Paul (as, that’s his name) - has been issued a FORMAL WARNING via the SLAP (Steer Like A Pro) Electorate for the heinous steering activity exhibited in this video at around 45 seconds, where his left palm can be clearly seen making contact with the INNER face of the wheel rim, proceeding to pull in a downward motion as if he were milking a cow (or similar). :shock:

Whilst justifiably appalled, the Electorate heard mitigating evidence that this footage is over three years old, and that he only appears to perform this transgression once throughout the footage, whilst moving in slower traffic. Additionally they took into consideration that - in more recent videos - he has found his heel&toe technique with this vehicle (a skill that was familiar to him, but he struggled to perform in this Lotus Exige 410 which was new to him at the time). Note: Normally Heel&Toe is a topic only of interest to the ASSHAT (Adequate Suitable & Sustainable Heel & Toe) Committee, but the SLAP Electorate felt the above demonstrated ongoing driver development, and therefore allowed an exception. :geek:

The SLAP Electorate therefore – in this case - applied due leniency. :ugeek:

However….

Warning: Video starts approx. 7 seconds before the event. Viewers should prepare themselves appropriately.

Sorry, that sort of behaviour is utterly unjustified by other positives. Does he think he's in the taxi rank on a Friday night? What next, palming through the chicane? No.

People who do this should just be culled, we don't need people like that in society.

I will grant Hoovie a pass tho, even though his wheelsmanship is horrific.
You settle up, I'll go get the Jag.

Very generous considering it's quite obvious he's filming with his other hand.

Its a strange one as he has no hope of getting any opposite lock on should he need it. Stylish though :lol:

I didn’t read the post properly and thought it was @mik driving.. was expecting a later video to show some appropriate self-flagellation. Kinda disappointed and relieved at the same time!
Cheers,

Ian
