So I was almost killed at the weekend.
My wife too.
At roughly this place.
Please read this short thread and share it, it might save someone else's life and if that comes of this then fair enough...

We were driving to Westport when, near Strokestown in a 100Kph zone, we came to a right-hand bend in the road.
Just as we were on top of it a van came around the corner towards us *ON OUR SIDE OF THE ROAD*.
I caught a glimpse of the driver. He was on his mobile making a call.

He managed to veer himself over to his own side of the road but if we'd been 30 feet further up the road or he had been distracted by what he was doing for 2 or 3 more seconds we all would have been mincemeat.
There was nothing I could have done.

He won't see this. He'll go on barreling down the roads of Ireland at full speed taking calls.
But if this makes you think again about doing one of the most dangerous things you can do when you're in charge of a giant metal bomb, then this will have been worth it.

We might not have been here today if not for a split second margin.
We would all be statistics.
Pull in if you need to make or take a call.
DON'T USE YOUR PHONE WHILE DRIVING.
Thanks.
