Amazing !!
Posted Oct 8, 2001
Now this one I have to tell..>>>>>
On the box again >>>>
Today I was out on those scarey roads again ! and as I was approaching a roundabout I saw a car actually come to a dead holt on the roundabout itself ,I saw a lady passenger open the door and she had a dog with her sat on her knee, next thing she was going to get out of the car !.. I could have moved on but I somehow thought stay put and prevent my lane of traffic moving on.. she was looking to the rear of the vehicle ? Then the driver got out ? and started walking towards the oncoming traffic on the roundabout ? then I saw the reason ....her handbag was lying in the road !!!! No other traffic was staying put !! the next lane to me just kept driving through , I really could not belive it ! they could see the car stopped .... *The driver was dodging the cars !! eventually he held up his hands to stop the car approaching him and picked up the bag.. He was in a very dangerous position indeed !...He then of course went back to the car and proceeded to drive off ! Thankfully he survived the ordeal....I guess the door of the car had not been closed properly and as the rounded the bends it flew open ....
One of the main things I realised was how some drivers had not been observant enough to realise the danger of the situation and just drove round ! What more can I say ?..*Always make sure your passenger has closed the door of the car securely.......
Steps Off the box..... just gives a big sigh >>>>>>

Soap box Rant
Posted Oct 1, 2001
Here I am again ! Its all to do with cars at the mo !
I live in an area that has parking permits and of course I have mine displayed in date and the right vehicle registration.
Today I have received a fixed penalty ticket !
Why?
Its not one of the new issues..
Why?
Council hav'nt issued it yet.
Why?
Computers have been down for 2 weeks.
New issues should have out by end September.
After 3 phone calls to relevant departments and been told to put a message in my vehicle screen ."Information to traffic warden permits are not yet issued due to computers down at Council Offices"
I am quite bemused here &%^^%^% .. Surely internal memos are still available ...phone calls .... ummmmm .
Now I have to write and inform the Police as to why I shouldnt pay £30 ......Fall down of communications I know... But now I have all the letter writing to do and appeal to be excused....
Any one else get probs like this ?
I find it quite alarming .

Speed
Posted Sep 30, 2001
Chat to anyone about the motor they drive and eventually it will be said how it can zoom off at (many figures quoted) I see signs which are to restrict us to 30mph 40mph 60mph 70mph....If we can keep to the right side of the road when we drive why cant we keep to the correct speed..because everything links to speed...get there quicker syndrome... I know 30mph seems so slow but hit someone at 30mph and it sure would harm..
