Amourous Automotive Activities

	The cat and mouse	A high-speed flirtation where male and female drivers continually draw alongside each other and then overtake each other.
	Premature engine revving	Drivers continually revving engines at traffic lights to mark out their territory with motorists of the opposite sex. Males who do this associate the throbbing engine with their own sexual prowess.
	On the prowl	Amorous motorists often spend more time "talent spotting" than concentrating on the road ahead.
	Work of beauty	Some sexually-frustrated motorists treat their vehicle as if it was a sexual partner and regard changing gear or touching the steering wheel almost as a sexual act.
	Lovers lane	Some amorous couples cannot wait to get home and decide to relive their first sexual encounter in their vehicle. In some cases, they forget their car could be in public view.
	Topless teasers	Men and women who take the roofs off their convertibles at the slightest hint of sunshine and then play loud music.

Mr King commented: `People can mistakenly think that the interior of their car is as private as their own home, so they will act in a more-uninhibited manner and will be more likely to be intimate that they usually would in public.'
