Public Holiday

Blossom

We tend to stay home. There are too many fatigued drivers on the road and more risk of accidents. People work all day then drive long distances at night. We always stopped every couple of hours, and got out and walked around to get some fresh air. If possible swap drivers. In cold weather don't over use your heating as that can cause drowsiness, the cause of many accidents. people are in a hurry and tend to take unnecessary risks. When passing trucks give them plenty of space. They can't slow down or stop as quick as a car. Having travelled in a truck as a passenger for one day, I was horrified how many stupid things drivers do and am surprised there is not a lot more accidents. Overtaking on blind corners, across double lines, and cutting people off. If you leave the regulation space behind another car, sometimes an "idiot" will pass and squeeze in then you have to try to hurriedly gain legal space again - not a 2 second success.
