Its been a rubbish day but at least im home and safe with my family.
Today i got stuck in one hell of a traffic jam on the A303 at Winterborne Stoke and yes like everyone else i cursed the hold up and yes i was fed up because it made me late
But when i got to the front of the jam i asked the policeman whats the hold up and how long will the road be shut he told me its a fatal mate so it will be a while and advised me of another route which i couldnt take because my lorry was loaded with approx £750,000 of mercedes benz cars which made it 75ft long and 15ft 5in high
I had to turn around go back the way i came and boy was i fed up and i cursed some more but then i thought
Someone is not going home to their family or even worse it could be a family that is no longer with us and all of a sudden i felt bad
so why do i tell you this you ask ? its because i want you all to be safe on the road and lets face it is it worth taking risks with life or death chances when driving :*
Do you know i really felt sorry for the helpful policeman who helped me with directions whilst thinking of his fellow officers who were on the scene trying to help the doctor who went past me at warp factor 10 who was trying to save lifes whilst the fire brigade cut people out of the wreckage
i know nothing of the accident and i dont know the people involved but i do know im proud of our emergency services who do a professional job and im not ashamed to say todays experience upset me
i urge you to stay patient on the road and no matter what please drive safely
