Near Misses Volume 2 (So close you can feel it)

But surely this should be the same for all drivers, it should be really easy to lose your license if you are a sh1t driver. Average speed cameras, red light cameras, bus lane cameras etc. would sort out a huge amount of sh1te on the road very quickly.

Same here, driving for work for me means that you don't cut corners but so many are incentivised to do so. An uncle drove long distance, I think another regular posters father had the same issue, where they were being incentivised to brake less so as to keep brake wear at a minimum but also the timing cross country was such that it was legally possible from a driving perspective provided you didn't have a break. Absolute insanity. Only 2 days ago Hildegarten Naughten was bragging about how they have suspended driving time rules to accommodate the logistical issues surrounding Covid. So to make up for the understaffed and under supported sector, they are effectively giving carte blanch for employers to demand more. There is a reason it is increasingly understaffed, as pay has plummeted and conditions have hit near rock bottom, a lot of people who would have made a career out of it years ago packed it in and left

Much like Andrew, it just isn't worth the stress that it would bring to your life, as if somehow not wearing a Hi Vis or stopping just over a white line so your more visible is somehow relevant when someone tries to kill you.
