IT would seem to me that once you have passed your test as a driver all that you know goes out the window.
As in last week’s paper about parking on the footpath, what about parking on yellow lines, how about parking in the road stopping flow of traffic outside Natwest? Then there is driving in general, turning at the mini roundabout at the station without a signal in sight telling other drivers where you are going, also at same roundabout not pulling over to the right to turn right but in the middle of the road holding up all following traffic as you are unable to turn due to traffic lights, not allowing the traffic that wants to go straight on.
But not least all those parents who keep parking on yellow lines outside the primary school in Wingfield Road, blocking the entrance to the old people’s home and, most of all, the doctors’ surgery.
The council needs to get some of its concrete blocks and place them along the yellow line around 6-12 inches away from the kerb to stop the parking, as on Thursday I told one driver to move. All they did was move about three feet forward, but we still had trouble leaving as you cannot see what is coming down the road to be able to get out of the entrance.
