Is there truth in the rumour, that the Benz pilot first drew attention to himself by using the blinkers? :eek:

I suppose one could argue that there is something of a gap at the screen end of the bonnet trough which you could see some of the road ahead, or perhaps the nut holding the wheel has X-ray vision?
Look closer if you can at the boot/bumper line in the opening frames of the video - there's some sort of muck or gore hanging out there. The splash-back remains of an animal or pedestrian, or did he badly pack his wife in the boot?
The mind boggles, but I am reminded of an incident many years ago when I was driving along the M4 to London in my Citroen CX Prestige - I was in the centre lane doing around 70mph when an 8x4 sheet of hardboard flew of a truck ahead and landed on my windscreen obscuring all forward vision. Quite scary at the time.
