Dont know about you but i am feeling more and more claustrophobic with the way things are developing in this land.
Humps and bumps being put where there not needed,speed cameras ,identity cameras around every corner,,Look!,these devices used in the proper manner like accident black spots and so forth are a great idea but as wide spread as they are,,well,its a joke.
So when you read in the national papers today about the Government wanting to put "Spy Computers" in every vehicle to record even if you park on a yellow line,i start to wonder if my government trusts me to make and be responsible for my own decisions,actions etc.
To digress a little,this week in my town,the busiest trafic lights in the town centre broke down for 3 days,now im'e conditioned to think like your average person that chaos would insue,but was quite surprised when drivers exercised caution and manners when dealing with the juction,The result was not ONE accident and no hold ups,not even the queu of traffic that normally adorned the roads around.
So are the majority of us able to be responsible for our actions when it comes to driving,,of course we are!!,but we still have ourselves to blame,for the simple reason that when polling day comes alot of us wont get of our lazy back sides and do what is nessacery!,ME included,Not no more tho!,ive had enough.
Rant Over.
