Sorry I am tired and lazy and not read all the posts in detail, As I have spent most of the afternoon sitting on the M25 due to what I can only assume was a very serious incident, as sections were shut completely, but my two pence on this is, what a load of rubbish they spout about speed, speed speed..... I have had more people crossing lanes and lines on the roads in the past 12 month than in my whole time driving. moving in the same direction and worse still coming towards me.
The state of peoples awareness, consideration, ability to actually drive a car is atrocious...THIS IS THE THE FACTOR, not the speed of of the vehicle, people driving big ol buses that they cant even see over the sodding dashboard are the problem. Nobody seems to give a toss about the highway code. I am not being a hypocrite (much) I am not perfect and to be fair I am a faster type of driver, but I stay in my lanes, abide by the markings on the road... the amount of people who dont beggars believe. I am mainly referring to my day to day car driving....but get two of these twats doing what they do, rather than someone like me who knows what is coming and makes space or whatever to avoid, THATS where these problems come from, doing 20 mile an hour to 70 mile an hour makes no odds..... we are just becoming a nation of shit, selfish drivers, it makes me sad, and scared is not really the right word, but am feeling a lot less safe driving around the country than i ever did. Making the speed mandatory will not stop any of this, they have their heads up their arse if they think it will.
Just like smart motorways, what a load of crap that it..... trying to watch emergency services trying to get past 4 lanes of traffic and no hard shoulder its a crime..... well I really dont see anything smart about them at all. Signs that nobody actually adheres to..... what is the point... so called professional drivers who seem to think there lane is the one in the middle is theirs and they are not going to move full stop.... man I really should be taking a chill pill at this time of night but this subject makes me so bloody angry. I have lost most of the day to do any constructive work because I am been in another jam, so have to do it all at night when I should be resting.... hence the pent up rage and rant LOL...
Yesterday evening I got home to Berkshire from Devon quicker than I did from Bishops Stortford!!! Unreal
I will stop now, cut the cords on this and go and meditate.... namaste lol
