Audi A7 |
THE snow, the freeze and the thaw all had their own challenges, which were met for the most part by the public transport system but woefully failed by many drivers and their cars. We are going to have to take this situation very seriously and start planning for more extreme weather conditions, as they do abroad, where it is the norm to change to winter tyres for the whole season.
Many businesses and an awful lot of householders seemed to fall down on the job of taking on some responsibility for keeping the pavements safe. Surely it is not too much to ask able-bodied people that they clear the snow and ice off the pavements in front of their own homes and then do the same for any incapacitated neighbours?
It is a very basic part of being a citizen that you look out for other people and don't expect the "authorities" to do everything for you. I was totally shocked at how many people shirked their obligations. This in turn forced pedestrians to walk on roads and made hazardous driving even more dangerous for all concerned.
