Not the best day

Enough has been said about recent events. As a driver I has always told passengers to wear their seatbelts and given information on vehicle safety.

However it is serious events like this it is important to LISTEN TO THE DRIVER.

And, to end just a few points.

Latest CPT figures show the number of fatalities, per one billion passenger kilometres travelled, is 17 for buses and coaches, 37 for cars and 1,500 for motorcycles.

Under government regulations, coach operators have to notify passengers to use the belts, though it is the duty of individual passengers aged over 14 - and not drivers or operators - to ensure they use them.

Same old problems

Not much to report apart from.

The middle lane hoggers.

Women drivers not using lane 3

Mobile phone users.

And many more. Will not be posting until the New year so happy New Year.

Fog and women drivers

No post for a while been busy. The last few days have been busy and very difficult with fog and frost. Well ice. Had half an inch of inch form on the mirror brackets yesterday and very patchy freezing fog.
Still the same old things. I would love to know why women will not use lane 3. It is so dangerous when they tailgate behind slow moving lorries in lane 2 and slow all the traffic behind them.
I note the powers that be want to increase the fines. Not much good when there seems to be complete breakdown of law and order on the roads. Mobile phone usage, dirty vehicles, lights not working etc. Never mind hopefully most schools have finished so should be better on the roads for a while.
