WRITE CHOICES AND ASPIRATIONS

I drive a lot.   Most of it from an LDV Mobile Post Office van (with no air con, who would design such a thing?)

Some weeks what I see on the roads has my hair standing on end.  this week has been such a week.   I've seen a tanker overtaking an artic on the brow of a hill.  Anyone coming the other way would have been killed instantly.  

Today I saw an artic so close to a double decker bus it's a wonder they didn't touch.  it's total intimidation.   What happens to people when they get behind a wheel?

I've seen cars causing a total obstruction when they've been a few yards from a safe, off the road parking spot.  I've also found myself really hoping that a traffic car was lurking as I watched one wide-o overtake on solid double lines.

Even tonight at the junction near the Melrose Hydro I witnessed one female who had crossed to the middle only to start fiddling with her sunglasses thus causing a hold up while she sorted herself out.

Maybe it's the heat.
