Reader's letter this week entitlled "Lorry Lorry Hallelujah"

Reader writes that he expects drivers to lack quality in their driving :popcorn: - but it's a pleasure when they find decent standards.

He cites his commute of 9 miles in the "freezing cold of 6 am" The cold is why most prefer their cars :wink:

He rode from Eastleigh to Southamptonand on approach to a roundabout - he sensed a vehicle behind him.

:scratchchin: I tend to use my ears and a quick occasional glance back over shoulder from time to time ... Anyway he continues


Quote:

I expected him to pass me before we reached the junction so stayed to the left, but he hung back for a while. I signalled and took up the correct position to take the second exit - but he gave me plenty of room

Blimey! A COAST reader :wink:

The driver stayed behind me. I expected him to pass before the next roundabout. - which was 300 yards further on. But he didn't. I then took the first exit and he stayed behind for a bit longr and then finally passed me - giving me more than ample room.



But then a lot of drivers - including lorry drivers and van drivers :wink: Ride Bicycles too.

Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon - but driving with a smile and a COAST calm mind.
