Today, I is travelling down to Bristol to be at Pixeldiva‘s wedding. A camera will be in attendance too.
Today is a good day.
Boom. (Or Not)
Posted: Mon 18 October, 2010 Filed under: Domestic, Driving 2 Comments »Locally today, the press is full of a story about a man who died when his car left the road, burst into flame and finally exploded. It happened on the main road I take to get to work, but fortunately wasn’t me, nor anyone known to me.
The road’s closed, and probably will be all day.
Must’ve been impressive, but I’m still pretty thankful to have not been involved at all.

This time, at a pub close to the office.
Not so much over the lines as right in the emergency exit hatchmarks
AJ54RJX, that really does take some doing. Congratulations, you’re a fuckwit.

As it's for sale, they obviously don't want any dents in it
Parked in a different Tesco, but still a Tesco all the same.
Night Driving
Posted: Tue 21 September, 2010 Filed under: Driving, People, Thoughts 2 Comments »There’s a story on the BBC today about whether it would be better for new drivers to not be allowed to drive at night for a defined period once they’ve first passed their tests.
In some ways I do think this is a good idea – I’ve said before that I like the Australian method, with limitations on night driving, no alcohol level allowed at all, and a limitation on number of similar-aged people in the same car.
However, as the story says, it would also be a nightmare to administrate and enforce.
So perhaps a better idea would be to simply insist that the learner undergoes a certain number of lessons at night, and thus gets used to night-driving in as controlled a way as possible?
Out’n’About

Away for the day – this time down in London to see Muse at Wembley Stadium.
Enjoy.
