Driver distractions...
Hertfordshire County Council recently conducted some research (using road-side observers) to see what distracted Hertfordshire's drivers. Rush hour surveillance at 9 locations across Hertsforshire provided the following results: 236 people on mobile phones, 81 people texting, 44 people drinking, 60 people eating and 32 people reading. Check out the full story and watch a seriously cheesy video at www.hertsdirect.org

Transport for Buckinghamshire are keen for you to share a car this Christmas...
Bucks CarShare is launching a Christmas campaign to encourage people to think about what they could do with the money they save by sharing journeys (not to mention the environmental benefits). If you're interested in sharing your car, or someone else's, there's more information at www.buckscc.gov.uk
P.S. Hertfordshire County Council run a similar scheme, reported to have over 2,000 motorists signed up, more information at www.hertsliftshare.org
