Drive…If You Can!

This year (where I live), it has been the worst year ever for driving accidents.

Our government… news to me…has offered €25,000 to anyone who will give up driving for five years. (Wish I had a car). A great incentive. Many are killed on motorbikes here. There is an incentive to get people to switch to motorbikes and for teens to ride scooters. I see many tandem teens whiz by.

There are many problems on roads, congestion, road rage, pot holes, building works and cranes.etc., and bad spelling on road signs.

Why are cars classified as female? She may be a beauty…Lovely bodywork?

When I was a teen many people loved their old rust buckets, many were dangerous to drive. Buying wasnt easy. Now cars don’t appear to have any character….all except Morgan’s, all parts hand made, cars are mass produced. There are still a few great designs.

Speed is also a problem, tho on motorways in Turkey camels overtook us easily, that surprised me. I was somewhat shocked at camels on motorways/freeways. LOL

Do you consider yourself a careful driver? Are you courteous  on the roads?
I loved to block people who were not, and one of my driving instructors could bump such drivers wheels, and get out of skids at high speeds. We had six instructors on the course.

Music seems to equate music with our lives, with freedom, with having no inhibitions, and a loss of control of good behavior. I never identified that way with driving, on my motorbike, and occasionally I was stopped by police for driving too carefully…by the book,my answer was… because I value my life. I also obtained a proficiency driving badge, after a six week driving course getting top marks. Two of us passed out of thirty people, all the rest were guys. They had ridiculed me on the course throughout about my driving. I was determined to just pass, nothing more. I practiced slalems and obstacle courses every night, until mastering. I was shocked to get top marks, my biggest fear was answering in how to repair an engine. But that was no problem, I got a question about spark plugs.

Road rage is on the increase.

Also, I witnessed cars catching alight, new electric cars. I saw a car on fire only yesterday, the driver was unharmed, but his car was a shell; there were police, an ambulance and fire engines, and a huge traffic jam. First, I saw the smoke billowing, then witnessed a terrible scene.
