Three types of Mondeo man

As the election looms and 'motorway man' takes centre stage I must introduce a refinement to voter classification. It is the 'three types of Mondeo man'. The first type waits for cyclists to get about 10 feet behind their parked Mondeo, partly opens the car door, looks behind, sees you, pauses, smiles and then allows you to pass without incident. Type 2 simply opens the door without looking behind and with one swift, gleeful, well coordinated swipe helps you to mess up the local bus timetable and add to hospital waiting lists . These types are well known, but a third type was discovered early Tuesday morning 30 miles south of Birmingham whilst I was training for LeJoG. Type 3 waits for cyclists to get about 10 feet behind, partly opens the door, looks behind, sees you, pauses, smiles and then flings the door open anyway to try and do the bus timetable chaos thing. I'm thinking the Greens shouldn't be offering type 3 a saddler to the polling station. Waddaya reckon? Post your answers here.
