They are more than likely still driving around Norfolk trying to find their way back to the old folks home, oblivious to the carnage they have left behind them.

Such are the trials and tribulations of daily living in this "peaceful" part of the UK.

It could be worse you could live in Lincolnshire.......or is 'live' the wrong word?

I like the way the 40,000 gal tanker has adequate fire precautions-A 2 litre fire extinguisher-was it kept in the rear wheel and fell out on point of impact!!

No shortage of dangerous drivers around here... I've had near-misses twice in the last few days.... Once when someone jumped a red-light and nearly slammed into my off-side

and once just last night when a someone pulled infront of my and slammed on their brakes when approaching an island....

I tell you the roads are full of lunatics.

Thick fog round 'ere too has led to many fog-light needing occasions but yesterday morning some mooron decided that the bright sunny morning light needed a full compliment of lights.... I ask you...?!

I don't have accidents, but I see plenty in my rear view mirror! OAP and proud to have ,<lasted> survived so long.

Whilst its ridiculous that Fog lights (& driving lights) get turned on when it gets 'a little misty' its much worse when the fog goes away and the fog lamps stay on!
At least MGR's turn their foglights off whenever the ignition is switched off (and have a BIG warning light!) and you have to turn them back on again.

The solution?
A pair of machine guns fitted behind my front driving lamps.....
