Motorway Madness

The other day I drove over the Dartford Bridge, It was a clear day and I could see Canary Wharf as I look out over London.

As I Joined the lines of traffic waiting to pay my £1.50 I notice the people in the cars around me where all in there own little world within the the cars. some where looking almost asleep and some nodding along to the radio and some chatting to passengers.

Its not my most favourite pass time it must be said, sitting in traffic waiting to pay £1.50 for the privilege of crossing the river when I have already paid Road Tax, and through the nose for Petrol, but its something we all choose to do.

In the cue I also found and got annoyed by people jumping in and out of different lanes because they thought another was quicker, but the fact is this type of driving slows everything down further. then you have the drivers that follow closely every move and never leave you bumper in case they let another car in.

Once to the toll gate you get a choice of gates. Correct change or change given, this can bring out a number of situations as I have seen someone throwing the money into the basket and missing, then getting out to search for it holding everyone in that cue up. then you get the driver that realises he hasn't got the correct change and trys to change lanes but the lane he needs is about 5 gates away.

Oh the joys of driving. I guess nothing much can be done about it so the best thing to do is stay cool and just take you time and trust you ll get to where your going at some point.

My Nana used to say... Better Late in this world than early in the next...and I guess she is spot on. As we look at what Life can throw at us and what things can stop us in our tracks or get in our way to slow us down we can be sure that God knows best and that when we trust and have faith, and seek his will in all we do then we cant go wrong.
