Quit Inhaling

takes you to the update on the family of six from north Wales who were killed following a collision with a lorry on the M6 a few days ago.
So, it's bloody obvious that death on the roads is still very much a part of british life. Hey! it's an element that keeps me in a job tho' i'm sure many people do not wish to meet medics of any kind following such a destructive event in their lives.
Quit inhaling?... see i've already talked about the need for other motorists to clear a path for those running on blue lights but there's another group of motorists who are not in front of an ambulance but wish they were. The ambulance has a sick lad/ladette/gent/lady etc on board. The roads are not the smoothest of surfaces in the world and the vehicles are not the best sprung. Answer? drive with care. which may mean travelling at 40mph out in a 60mph national speed limit area.
Having you sucking on my motor's tailpipe is not conducive to my concentrating on what is happening around the roads ahead of me.
This must include the gent who tailgated me for approximately 15miles last night despite having a minimum of 4 safe overtaking opportunities to pass us.
The reason he got passed? despite an unwell octogenarian on board i pulled over. Did he say ta very much? did he bollocks!
Whatever the vehicle in front tailgating is FUCKING dangerous. Plumbers do not have automatic rights-of-way over any other vehicle so think before you endanger other peoples lives. In fact, THINK and do NOT ever put other peoples lives in danger.

Basic courtesy. I'm sure the United Kingdom would be in a far better position, financially or otherwise, if people could just learn to be more courteous to others.

something to think about
