UK LOCKDOWN - And what it means to you....
So after last nights dramatic speech from Boris how will this affect you and your cars....... I'm still undecided how to treat this Re going out for a drive : or maybe leaving the car in the garage and connecting the trickle charger to ensure no electrical gremlins over the next 3 weeks minimum.
I am now currently at home, business closed for now and it would be a perfect opportunity to go out and have some fun in the car, BUT do you risk a fine..... or just use it for going to the shops once a week?? |

Why cant people just stop at home and stop trying to be clever by looking for loopholes in the advice. Its simple people will carry on and then he will have no choice but to have a proper lockdown just because common sense is not as common as it used to be. |

This is not a dig at anyone on here by the way. I've been at work today and the amount of people I've seen walking around in groups is unbelievable. Stay at home for 3 weeks or have boris make it 12 with the military on the streets. |

From a strictly driving perspective ...I don’t want to be insensitive and i really hope you and your families are all ok.
I have to drive my (daily) M5 to do the lockdown chores. Yesterday my (large) town was literally empty at noon on a Saturday with police roadblocks. In general the roads are like they were in 1980. I’m driving like a saint, no one wants to be Mr Bell End at a time like this. Entering the town there was a car in front at the checkpoint, he had travelled from the next town along and the copper ripped him apart. I reckon if you got caught hooning in the current climate they would throw the book at you. The motorbikes have been taking the P during the good weather. |

I make sure mine is used twice a week, i am still working as we are contractually obligated to fulfill a contract with a client.
So once a week it gets a run to work, only 4 miles away and then once a week i may go the long way round to Tesco! It's about being sensible. People gathering in groups, kids out playing in groups etc is just foolish. Going for a drive on your own is not risking spreading the virus, so a detour round some nice rounds to the local shops is pretty fair i would think.

I'm starting to feel uncomfortable going out as well now, ensure you are all masked up and gloved up if you must leave home. Wash your hands whenever you get back in, my hands are getting ruined with the amount i am washing them.
I have to be extra cautious with high risk people living me with me. I also feel for the people that suffer from anxiety or any other related issues, it must be going through the roof. May you all be safe! We can unleash the beasts after this is all over with! |
