Behind the wheel? Then ring off
IF THE national media are to be believed, Boston is the obesity centre of the country; is the migrant centre of the Midlands; and is the town where people don't want to use public transport to get to work to relieve the traffic congestion.
Might I add another to the list? It seems we are the centre for people driving while using their mobile phones!
Last week I was waiting to cross the road at the Norfolk Street/Tawney Street junction. The lights changed to green and traffic from Tawney Street started to move. When the lights changed to red, the traffic still kept moving and four cars actually went through on the red light. And the last car was driven by a lady, talking on a mobile phone, and with two children in the back – neither of whom were wearing seatbelts.
So, a total of three offences: not stopping for a red light, using a mobile phone, and no seatbelts for children.
On reflection is this perhaps another product of the traffic congestion? Drivers fed-up with queuing take risks to keep moving, only to find they are stopped a few yards further on.
