I've been driving 15 years, and since that time the roads have got a lot busier. But the standard of driving seems to have got worse. Of course 15 years ago there were no mobile phones, but despite the conviction for driving with a mobile being increased, I see it daily. Cars, vans (especially!), lorries, buses, coaches. And a small proportion of drivers are complete maniacs and should not be on the road. Where are the traffic Police? Hiding behind a bush ready to catch us going 32mph? Possibly, but probably not - these days they're sent to help their colleagues in street crime. I'm not suggesting we have a nanny state, but something needs to be done. There is a serious accident on a road near me every other day. And as for drink-driving, don't get me started on that!!
