My interest this week lies in winter driving. Over the weekend I was in the car behind a crash at a set of traffic lights. Thanks to the quick braking of my father we didn’t end up parked in the guys boot, but it does make you look at things a little differently, and start wondering every time you go round a roundabout or through a set of traffic lights, if someone just isn’t going to stop for you.
I’ve never really been that interested about the change in road conditions when it’s cold, or raining or icy. I’ve just never really thought about it that much, but when I know that if the roads had just been a little more icy or greasy we would have been in that crash too, it makes me want to get educated! No-body was harmed in the crash, and incredibly there was a police car waiting at a set of traffic lights across the road that saw everything, so it got sorted pretty quick!
I guess seeing it happen, actually there right in front of my eyes kind of makes the penny drop as to why it’s so important to be careful in these weather conditions. And to check your brakes ... and to make sure the Christmas tree on the roof of your car is very, very securely tied in place!
