I recently bought my lovely littl motor from a vauxhall dealers in Glasgow - it's my pride and joy, yet there are so many things that frustrate me on the road. The thing I hate most is the people who use mobile phones while driving. Such people are not only risking their life but also creating a threat to other vehicles on the road and also the pedestrians crossing the road.
I also hate driving when I'm depressed or I'm tensed due to some family problems or issues that I couldn't fix in my office because at that time I'm unable to concentrate on road. Another factor which I hate is the climatic conditions, for example during heavy rain it's very difficult to drive, and things are so hard to make out.
I hate the early morning drive, again the visibility problem due to fog, snow etc even though we have options to manage it. Another thing I hate is driving a vehicle which is not clean and properly maintained! I'm a person who is interested in giving maximum care to my vehicle. |

I'm in my van quite a bit (replete with van shelves and racking), and I witness a lot of tomfoolery on the roads. It is unbelievable how some people think they rule the roads. As a humble shopfitter, They're probably paupers of the lowest degree but regard themselves as Kings or Queens when they enter their car and ignite the ignition. I hate road rage, and I hate all the accidents it causes from sometimes very inconsiderate drivers! Some people tail me with a distance of 1 cm between the back of my car and their registration plate. Others find it apparently amusing to speed down residential areas, not considering there are other roads, turns, drivers and people, not to mention children around and about. It confuses me to think how such people actually passed their driving test and got a license in the first place. Oh and I hate going on the motorway because I encounter a flock of bad and inconsiderate drivers who see fit to change lanes without a signal, potentially scaring the life out of many and causing others like myself to miss a heartbeat. Why can't all drivers be responsible?!

It must be coming up to 25 years now since i passed my driving test and i still have an old paper licence. I must apply for the new driving licence card as everyone else seems to have a one. I don't know how much it will cost but i know i need to get a photograph done as they need that to process the application with one so i will get that out of the way first. I have never had any points bans or convictions on my licence so i am really proud of that. I have had a couple of bumps in the cars i have driven but nothing too serious. In fact thinking about it, i may get my photograph done when i am in the supermarket at the weekend as they have a photo booth there. I can also get an application form as there is a post office inside of the store. I find it very hard to believe the amount of young drivers on the roads of today who have had points on their licence, i think they should make the age up to 21 before you can drive then there might be a decrease in the amount of speeding that goes on. |

I love bikes. And motocross bikes are the most awesome ones! The adventure, adrenaline, speed and feeling you can get from riding a motocross bike is awesome, and the cool gear you get to wear, such as motocross helmets (with their funky designs) just adds to the fun. Although I am not an experienced motor driver, I had the opportunity to try it. It is not something that I would recommend to everybody, but if you are an extreme sports junkie like myself, it's great! Closely to my hometown there is a great dirt bike stage with jumps and everything. It's not for a total beginners, but if you've ridden a motorbike before I'm sure you can handle it. The jumps are also awesome and the biggest one can propel you to a 6 or 7 meters off the ground. It's quite astonishing feeling altogether. Sometimes I go to the track and just watch some experienced drivers do their thing. When you see them flying in the air a couple of meters and riding with speeds of over 100 km/h you get a feeling that you just want to take a bike and do the same. |

I inherited the family business a few years back and I must say that the website Track What Matters really helped me a lot. When I first inherited the business, I had no idea on what to do with it and how it actually even works. We own a truck delivery service and we had a lot of clients—both big and small. My dad would often call each driver personally to make sure that they aren’t lost however, I didn’t know this when I got the business.
After a few clients, we experienced one massive lost delivery that got lost and confused somewhere. After that, I found Track What Matters online and immediately bought a GPS device for each truck. Thanks to Track What Matters, I can now track the location of each and every truck without calling the drivers. This made life a lot simpler and prevented any mishap like that from happening again. |

Take a stroll around the town and it is not hard to find that the streets will differ greatly in terms of tidiness. Some employ armies of road sweepers to keep their roads clean, some are far more neglected. It is pleasing on the eye to see a street with neatly kept gardens and the pride taken by the owners to present the properties and pavements well. This was the first street you encounter. You turn on to an adjoining street and the picture can look very different. Every other step along the street presents you with that discarded cigarette end and and if you are unlucky you may come across an unpleasant pile of dog waste, that you just manage to avoid. On the gentle breeze a wrapper, crisp packet or carrier bag hurries by and then the pavement is partially blocked by a sodden and rather unappealing armchair discarded by an unknown being. As you near the end of the road a crunch sound can be heard under your feet - ah, the remains of the glass from the phonebox window across the road. First impressions count and reflect the overall impression of the area. Overfull bins and broken gates and fences show no care or pride. Is this the residents or council's problem? If more pride and care was taken by all - tidy streets can help restore confidence and overall improvement in a town's reputation. |
