Miss Daisy ?

Hope you all had a good Bank Holiday weekend.  One question though is if people don't normally drive on the roads, why do they all hit the highways en masse on a Bank Holiday.

And for those of the Miss Daisy tendencies allow me to impart some advice.  25mph is not the new 30mph.
By the same measure 30mph is not the new forty, and 68mph in the outside lane of a clear motorway is guaranteed to raise my blood pressure.  Add to this the fact that mirror signal manoeuvre, seems to have been replaced by slow down, brake, swerve left.  Also indicating right, positioning you car in the road, then changing you mind and carrying on without checking the traffic trying to pass you on the inside is a sure way to alter the appearance of your Nissan Juke !

All this was witnessed by me on one Bank Holiday drive.  People were oblivious to the queue of twenty cars behind them as they dawdled through the English countryside at 25mph.  20mph if they hit a hill !

There was also a distinct lack of Police to be seen.  Normally keen to give you points for doing 33mph in a 30mph zone, there were none to be seen, so the Daisy brigade had carte blanche to cause chaos.

So I think the key here is next Bank Holiday stay at home unless you have some tablets that will help keep your blood pressure down.
