Mother - "does driving on the motorway in the rain scare you?"
Daughter - "only when you're driving"



Says it all really. Especially after the unfortunately timed breakdwown she had in the roadworks last week, where she panicked so badly she had to be reminded to turn on the hazard lights by her own daughter

[Eighteeteewhy]

Hmm, bit slow this episode.

A good example of how not to wear your seatbelt, shown by the woman in the car with her partner chatting to the 2 kids on the rear seat.

"It's a police car

Quick. Slow down to 65mph!

[Fun Bus]

A spare tyre but no tools. What a tool - and I bet it's more commonplace than we think it is.

"Why do you worry about your workmen's safety?" Damn stupid question.

I think she prompted him just to talk about the accident to highlight the point of the danger.

[Blakewater]

I guess so. It's something most people would never consider, which is kind of the point of the program. Making you think about the people keeping everything running that you take for granted.

[GTIR]

I'm still going to shout at the wombles when they shut two lanes because of a bumper.

[Blakewater]

The thing is, if they could trust people to take care they wouldn't have to close off as many lanes or such a length of motorway for a problem in one confined area.

[crmcatee]

basic maintenance would keep those drains clean and free.

[Blakewater]

And people not chucking litter out of their cars.

What I can't help noticing is how many problems there are regarding hazards in live lanes such as accidents and breakdowns and people at the peril of traffic coming at them. Then there are Highways Agency workers and emergency service workers who can't get through to incidents without a clear hard shoulder. Despite that there was a Highways Agency officer last week saying Smart Motorways are the future of motorways. It really does seem to be making everything more difficult and dangerous than it needs to be.

That little girl scares me .

She's a very odd looking child.

I think it's the chin and the death look she has.

Poor girl.

I keep expecting her head to do a complete 360.

They saw him coming when they wanted to place camera's in cars.

[muckymotor]
