IT strikes me that if drivers stopped hurling abuse at one another and concentrated more on looking where they are going and what they are doing, kept the right speed and were far more courteous, the roads would be a lot safer.

Also, heavy lorries should keep to the main roads and stop using roads that were never made for them as short cuts.

Good driving for everyone depends on common sense and good manners.
