Too much awful, deadly driving from both sexes really.

Couldn't believe the police/camera action programme on TV last night - they were interviewing people in a pub about how much they drink before getting in the car, and doing some breath tests on them, ranging from 18 yr old girls up to blokes in their 60s or so.
The quantities these numpties admitted drinking was shocking.

And at the end when they showed the wreckage of the M6 crash, every one of them was in total shock apart from that builder bloke.

''No, it doesn't put me off drinking and driving, I drive up and down the motorway every day and I see worse than that. That could happen anywhere couldn't it.''

He even tried to put forward a valid argument.
That made my blood boil.

You should've seen the DD bit on TV last night, they showed the wreck of the car hit by the Plymouth goalkeeper, and one bloke who drives on 5 pints could only reply....these things happen, I've seen worse along the M whatever.

Her age is against her, her mind will be thinking if I say I felt I was still safe they won't do me so hard and also in her mind she will convince herself she hasn't done any wrong, because this is the way they are allowed to think they are always in the right these days.

She also told the court she could send and receive messages without taking her eyes off the road.

Bollox! No you can't. Thought it was safe to use the phone "in the right conditons" - 70mph on a motorway in wet conditions the right conditions then?!!!

She'd have been 'safer' just making the phone call with the phone clamped to her ear rather than texting!!

Now because of her selfish and downright ludicrous actions some poor 24 year old girl who was changing a wheel is dead

- and she has the gall to deny the charges!!
