How Many Times

How many accidents, shunts or collisions, deaths or cuts and bruises will it take to make people realise that driving whilst on the phone is dangerous. What's more, texting or emailing whilst driving is simply daft but deadly stupid. For a long time I have resisted the urge to name and shame but I am at my wits end. Up until most recently I spent a significant proportion of time travelling in a car. I have a poor memory so I rarely recalled registration numbers of the offensive drivers. But thanks to my wife, who is currently driving, I am in a position to record them! YJ57OYM Red van, 7pm 5 Aug 11, M6 north My question is, will the police have the ability to prosecute?

Rubber Necking

Oh please tell me what the morbid fascination is with looking at accidents on the other side of the carriageway?

Apart from the delay that it causes to the one part of that road that was running freely until the rubber necking clan decided to take a look at the accident, it is really rather daft. Perhaps that isn't strong enough... It is no less than stupid.

Not so long ago, I observed a person deliberately indicate from the inside lane to the outside lane of a Motorway to take a look at an accident on the other side of the carriage way. I kid you not, as soon as he had taken a look he indicated to get back into the inside lane!

If we (as a human race) can't break this inhumane addiction to looking at road accidents we will turn the M25 into a Stock Car circuit.
