White Van drivers

It seems like a long time since I last posted. Christmas pressure has started to build up. Last week has been really manic with everything going wrong because I have been juggling too many things at the same time and not being able to pay full attention to any of them. I was so pushed and stressed at one time that I made a mistake and lost a large sum of money.  I managed to get the money back within minutes but that is not the point. Making the mistake for any reason is not an excuse. I am determined not to let things get me stressed up again when my mind gets too clouded.

This morning driving to work on a not so wide road with cars parked on both sides we were all queuing up behind a bus taking passengers on board. There was not much point in overtaking the bus because of the oncoming traffic. A white van over took two cars from behind me, went in front of the bus. Then the white van driver let the bus go forward and chased the bus, got in front of it and made it stop. He came out and hurled abuse to the bus driver. We all saw that he was out for making trouble but we all sat in our cars and just watched it without trying to help the bus driver. He then drove off. Unfortunately the van was obscure by the bus so I couldn’t take the registration number.

What a coincident that in the evening I had two white van drivers having a tussle with each other and putting other road users in danger. If they want to kill themselves then fine. Go ahead and do it but why subject other road users to their bad tempers?

I didn’t agree when the white van drivers were being stereotyped for their aggressive driving but now I am not surprised why they were.

Oh well tomorrow is another day. I will try to keep cool as long as the whole world doesn’t go out to wind me up.
