I Got Life

Yep, I've started musing about life and death again. This time it's come about because of the sheer volume of idiots on the roads. Take today for example, on my way home from work I managed to avoid being rammed by a man in a red car who was in the wrong lane, followed an HGV carrying what appeared to be another HGV at around 20 miles an hour on unsuitable roads and a learner driver who turned right at a junction into on coming traffic, pulled over into the correct lane and then drove at 10 miles an hour for a good 200 yards until the driving instructor must have noticed the great big line of traffic behind them and made him put his foot down a bit - reaching the whopping great speed of 15 miles an hour. I am beginning to loathe my commute to work because it's not just my car I'm driving, it's everyone elses. I honestly don't know how half these people pass their tests. I go through about five roundabouts and you get people who don't think the highway code applies to them, or simply pull out without looking. I'm putting my life in their hands on a regular basis.
