Been out on a training exercise tonight in Rugeley and bumped into one of your colleagues on his rounds. You should have seen the cars slow down when they saw 4 or 5 people standing on the pavement in hi-viz jackets.
:-) Yeahs... If i've been using plain motors for ages then suddenly jump in a marked one it takes a while to work out why everyone has turned into granny smith ;-) In fact it's often a dammed nusiance if your trying to get to an urgent job which is not quite sufficient to justify the auxillaries but not one you want to drag your feet to either.
Of course I've never ever stood in the darkness holding a broom from the boot with a mini mag lite attached to it, to see the look on faces of passing motorists..... now that _really_ slows them down and makes them get in lane.... apparently...I've heard.... ahem. :-) Several hours of armwaving Boredom at RTC scenes can drive a person around the bend.
