It's very bad for you!<br /><br />Anyone who drives that distance down a motorway the wrong way should automatically get a temporary suspension of their license while they go through retraining and a retest to see if they're actually fit to drive. I take the point about the mobile phone and the slap, but I've heard about several of these incidents and they're nearly all older people and just past making the correct decisions at the necessary speed.<br /><br />Not talking about people who make an honest mistake and correct it - like you and your Italian one way street, or another blogger I know who <i>began</i> to drive the wrong way down a motorway slip road but realised it PDQ and didn't actually drive onto the motorway itself - I'm talking about major stupidity like the woman in your story.<br /><br />And yes, I do know you're no spring chicken yourself. Not ga-ga yet though, are you?

Easily done when you're trying to put eyeliner on at the same time.<br />Seriously, you're right though - why on earth didn't she notice? As for Sandbag Man - - well, the possible consequences of that are just horrific and it was just his luck that nobody was killed. So I'd be locking him up anyway. Or getting him to stand underneath whilst another sandbag was dropped.Daphnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469075813149239051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27523184.post-55645571046177865452009-11-17T19:45:46.563+00:002009-11-17T19:45:46.563+00:00Me too....these stories were on the BBC web site.Me too....these stories were on the BBC web site.Silverbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291532400330204120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27523184.post-36312928902912930282009-11-17T19:03:59.282+00:002009-11-17T19:03:59.282+00:00I gave up buying and reading newspapers years ago ...I gave up buying and reading newspapers years ago - it was bad for my blood pressure!Jennytchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621488409334115930noreply@blogger.com
