Spent all day yesterday driving in and around
London for a photoshoot. I began in Sidcup, Kent at 6.30am and went round the
M25 to get to Weybridge, Surrey. After picking up the car, we headed into the
capital to a number of locations, then back to Weybridge to drop the car off. I
finally got home to Suffolk just before 9pm. I witnessed every type of driving
and have to say I saw some excellent examples of considerate, smart and
sensible roadcraft. But then I also saw some absolutely appalling examples of
advanced stupidity, thoughtlessness and dangerous behaviour. In short, it was
just another day on the UK’s roads. But the one thing that was a constant
wherever I went was the shocking state of the tarmac. It’s getting worse and is
a scandal. It was summed up as a arrived back into my village. A large pothole in
the centre of the carriageway was ‘fixed’ a couple of weeks ago, ie, workmen
came along and dumped some loose tarmac in it and patted it down with a
machine. Unsurprisingly, this temporary solution has failed and the first bits
of it have come loose are now being sprayed across the carriageway as wheels
hit them. Unbelievable and a total waste of time, effort and money.
