The driving silly season has started
Monday morning, driving the school bus to the first pick up point - saw a porche on its roof.
Monday evening, taking my mother home from her part-time job - saw the end result of a head-on car crash, where both cars ended up on the pavement (walkway to non-brits). Pedestrian casuailties unknown yet...
Tuesday afternoon - LOTS of multi-coloured plastic and sand (to soak up oil) on a dual carriageway, where the road was straight with no junctions.
This morning, school road crossing attendant (lollipop man) knocked down at the designated crossing point that has dual flashing lights (like those you get at fire stations), striped bollards, 10 feet tall yellow pencils, 20mph signs and road markings (in bright red boxes), "School crossing" signs "It's 20 for a reason" signs, and an extended pavement to narrow the road. On top of that, he had a high viz that reached down to his knees and the "STOP - CHILDREN CROSSING" sign. The compensation will probably be enough to buy a six bedroom house with swiiming pool in Plymouth - if he lives.
I would have taken pics, but the police take a dim view of drivers taking photographs from the cab of a moving bus.
You have been warned.
