  • A shocking amount of people dying on our roads this year. I am sickened every time I read of another one. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. Please, can everybody take extra care when driving. Check every junction twice, drive at a speed allowed by the conditions. Pull over and take a ten minute nap if you’re feeling tired and please, please, don’t drive with drink or drugs in your system. Don’t tear the heart from your loved ones by being the next statistic! I have been there, 19 years ago on June 10th gone and the hurt, miss and sense of loss has never left me.

      It’s nothing to do with government how people drive.We ALL make our own choices weather to speed,drink and drive or what ever form of dangerous driving people do.So next time you and I are about to do a dangerous act in the car,bike or motorcycle think about it for a second.It might save your life.
