Drivers should look at actions

ATTENTION ‘experienced’ drivers.

Being a ‘new’ driver on Inverclyde’s roads can be a daunting one at the best of times, even more so when your surrounded by ‘inconsiderate’ fellow users.

Let me have a few moments of your time to explain.

Getting a driving licence is one of the best things you can obtain — in my view. I am physically disabled and have four children aged between one and 14 years. As you can probably appreciate it’s a lifeline for myself and my family.

I would class myself as a ‘considerate’ driver (too much sometimes).

Let me get to the point — 10 per cent of us may not value life, but I’m sure 90 per cent of us do.

Since passing my test — like so many others — I have been tailgated, intimidated, cut up, hooted at and verbally abused, and for what? ‘Haste’.

Please take a few moments to consider when you first started to drive.

Yes, you may have 20 years more experience than myself, but we all have one thing in common — we all only have one life.
