The ultimate end being injuries, if not death, to all in the car because of an accident! Sorry, not allowed to call them that nowadays - we must call them Road Traffic Collision! Like it makes any difference to the outcome!<br /><br /><br />Truckers still smoke in their cabs because it stops them falling asleep at the wheel and helps to maintain concentration. Car drivers will do the same.<br /><br /><br />The police no longer, it seems, police motorways, that is now done by HATO's and VOSA. IF the law only applies to cars with children on board, are they going to stop every car with someone smoking in it to check for children? I don't think so, there simply are not enough police, VOSA agents or HATO's!<br /><br /><br />I really do wish that these agencies were allowed to get on with their REAL JOB instead of having to pander to the whims of a pathetic government who still seem to think their austerity measures are working when, quite clearly they are not! Perhaps they are making a difference to their hoorah henry pals, but things continue to get worse for the ordinary man on the street, who makes up the majority of the population in this country!<br /><br /><br />If we want to see fairness and equality, then look at UKIP and consider placing your vote with them at the next election. The more UKIP MP's we get the more chance of a little more balance in politics!truckerlynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-49929168567053077542014-12-19T22:51:00.500+00:002014-12-19T22:51:00.500+00:00erm... like the smoking ban - it worked before - i...erm... like the smoking ban - it worked before - it'll work again.
