Iām temptedHouse round the corner from us has just switched on their Christmas illuminations - only 41 sleeps to go.![]()
Youāre so right, the standard is so low these days, no courtesy and what really does my head in are the people who leave it until the last minute to move over to leave the motorway making everyone brake. Only 10 years ago it was different I used to love driving up or down the motorway with my music on and found it relaxing - musicās still on but not relaxing any more.I used to love driving up and down the motorways day or night. But the standard of driving has fallen tbh and I really donāt like driving at night, none of my friends do either. Itās not eyesight but could be age but probably the idiots who now inhabit the roadsā¦ā¦
Thank youGlad you are home safe and sound.
Ah, the reassure of a roadside ditch to calm your driving nerves.Good morning all on the frosty day here in HyvinkƤƤ .A white covering this morning for us .I hope all are well and had a good night's sleep .Wife is off out for highlights so has left me a list of jobs -no rest for the wicked .
You would love it here @Val P ,we have no street lights within 8 miles so driving is a little guesswork as we dont have kerbs or cat's eyes either ,we do have ditches for the less accurate !
Stay safe and strong all.COYB

Some of the roads round here through the fens are long and straight but due to the fen shrinking, the surface is very bumpy so itās more like riding a rollercoaster, they also have drainage ditches running along their length. Itās not a pleasant experience for the faint hearted particularly at night. Another one to avoid the road alongside the River Nene :Good morning all on the frosty day here in HyvinkƤƤ .A white covering this morning for us .I hope all are well and had a good night's sleep .Wife is off out for highlights so has left me a list of jobs -no rest for the wicked .

Hi folks, a very rainy day today but I think we have got off lightly compared to some parts of the country. We haven't had any really bad winds. Hope you are feeling better @jazzy . I used to love driving long distances and quite enjoyed the drive from here to Liverpool - especially up and down the M6 which is a lovely route. However, there are far too many idiots on the road these days and most of them are lorry drivers. There was a horrific crash on the A1 junction near where we live a couple of years ago in which three people were killed. The lorry driver had been on his phone and hadn't noticed the traffic had slowed doen and ploughed into the queue. Very very sad. Durham police made a film about the incident to try and highlight the danger of mobile phone use. you can watch it on youtube but if you watch it be warned, it isn't for the faint-hearted but it is a very powerful piece.
