Very sad alot of car deaths lately very sad indeed
very sad indeed, unfortunately over the years I’ve noted too many car deaths in the early hours, many caused by by falling asleep at the wheel, this serious risk really should be hi-lited in the same way as speed by the RSA
The RSA recommend two coffees and a nap. There are simply not enough places to purchase coffee late at night. No service stations on our motorways or places to pull in safely for a nap.
have your say
