IMO the biggest automotive morons (and they are restricted to cars) are what I call 'Poole Pillocks' who have a sound system fitted to their car whose volume is more suited to an aircraft hangar. I have a T-junction outside my house where they frequently have to wait for a gap in the traffic to turn into the road almost opposite my bungalow, and the booming from the base on their stereo systems almost makes the bungalow shake. They have to have the windows of the car open for maximum effect, of course. It's illegal, but the law's not enforced. On the occasions when I've asked one of these moron's (usually male) when they actually went deaf, I've had very rude replies - that is from those who hadn't gone deaf already.
