Absolutely fantastic traffic management by the two gents west side of the Mill. Well done.
Yes!
Thank you Lee, you did a grand job
Hope everyone is OK
Another Idiot will be along soon, that I can promise….
There must be some money to ge made here, stabilising wheels for cars like the kids have on bikes when learning but bigger!
Giving them a brain and removing that big weight on the right foot would also help. Speed, speed, speed….
Or, Phone, phone, phone,
The story hits the nail on the head.. ‘The Middle Road’!! I know people that won’t even use it because of the amount of Dangerous driving that takes place on that road. Come on ‘speed trap’ coppers, stop wasting Ur time preying on drivers in Shalfleet & try Ur hand at something a bit more challenging!
Well said that lady, that road is a race track
