I know many police officers and none of them decide in the morning I'm going to murder someone. Murder is an intentional, planned act. There are bad police just as there are bad lawyers, dentists, plumbers and anything else. But they are the very small minority. Guns are inanimate objects. Only people can be bad or evil.

Hello Jay,

You helped me - when I was driving a 2013 VW diesel JSW 6M - and I hope my thanks were expressed.

Driving an ambulance - anywhere would not be easy.......you could write a book!!

Between the Millenials and the old folks (I live in an age 55 Sun City) driving can be just plain terrifying............................

Good to hear your (cyber) voice.

best regards,

ez

Glad I was able to help.

In Arkansas, it seems like eight or ten cars end up at every chase. Here it will be one possibly two single-crewed cars.
This paramedic's videos are typical of UK drivers.

Could never understand why people chose to live in congested areas like that, I would quickly fall out of love with driving if I had to drive in traffic like that. These are the roads I drive, I urge you to count every car I pass on the 6 ish miles of driving during the video....hint, it's zero.

This was one of my regular and favourite drives before moving to the big city.

Looks a fun road, but why are you driving so slow?

JockoT 09-18-2023 02:36 AM

I was aiming for a good mpg figure. 108 mpg according to my ScanGauge.

Times can't be that hard surely?? Pointless exercise if you get fined for driving too slowly and obstructing traffic haha.

It was just that. An exercise. A game I played. And at no time did I obstruct traffic.
