Day 8 – 17.02.2012

I am stopped at a set of traffic lights, as is everyone else.

We are on a major arterial road in a capital city.

Suddenly a woman in a shiny green SUV (for no good reason) slams into a 4WD. The 4WD in turn slams into a light vehicle (truck).

All I could think was thank God no-one in a normal car was involved in this! It’s OK if the big boys play demolition derbies with each other, but don’t involve us small to medium car drivers!

There are so many large vehicles on the road these days, it’s like everyone is playing ‘keeping up with the Joneses’. When I am driving I find myself continually ducking and weaving through lanes of traffic to get to a vantage point beyond large vehicles. Perhaps as a solution, they should all be encouraged to stick to the bus lane?

Anyway back to the woman driver who caused the accident... what was she thinking? Everyone was stationary!

She didn’t need an ambulance, she needed a new pair of glasses if you ask me.
