Drunk drivers, no licence, no insurants

One of my staff was parked outside a chip shop, eating his chips when a car hit him in the rear end.

The Police tell me that force of the impact sent him through the window screen and he’s been sent to the local hospital.

His wife told me he’s ok now, but when he gets home he a dead man. (He not allowed chips”, he on a diet.)

I know the chip shop well, and there no yellow lines, it’s not on a junction and the road is well lit, so I ask the nice policewoman how it happened.

She told this:

The “accident” happened at 2249.

The other driver involved in the “accident” had been test at the scene and had proved a positive test sample.

The car he was driving did not show any insurant record on the police computer.

They’re no record of the driver having passed his test.

And we had an hour to recover the van or the police would charge us for recovery and storage, (nice at 1130pm when you have been a sleep for a few hours).

The garages have told me the van’s a right off, so I will have to have a look at it later.

So it looks like we are going to have to cover the cost of it.

But I am no surprised about any of it.

For some reason people seem to have forgotten why we have driving laws.

They all feel that car insurant is just another tax, tests are a waste of time and speed limits are out of date.

Young or old they all have there reasons for it, they all know better that the law.

I would like to say that its just a few fools trying it on, but its not.

There women who don’t have the time, so park on double yellow lines outside schools, the business man who has to park on the pavement next door to his office and the old lady who drives at 20 miles per hour because she “can’t see too well”.

Its not just the car owns, the cyclists and skateboards are just has bad too.

You see cyclists riding the pavements, the roads are just “too dangerous” for them, sod the people on the pavements they can just get out of the way.

Lights on a bike? Are you mad? They keep getting nicked so why have them? You don’t need them! We have streetlights for that and if someone hits you it there fault.

Skateboarder using main roads in town for their trips, they many hold up or stop the town centre busies for a while, but that’s what bus lanes are for right?

All of these things are illegal and we have laws to stop them from happening, but no or little enforcement.

If you are involved in accident and you have broken the law, it is your fault, there no point in arguing about it, you should not have been there.

I just don’t under stand why people feel that safe on the roads, maybe it’s a mixture of arrogates and stupidity.

Early today 2 of our 17 years old trainees passed there driving tests, they are told if they get 6 points on there driving licences in the next two years, they will lose it.

The other thing they are show is the death rates for the under 25’s for cars, there not shocked by it, they don’t seem to care.

But they scare the hell out of me.
