only travel by car if your journey is essential....

so what counts as essential.
should i go to work?
i need more explanation.
is it essential i drive to shops for milk for isntance.

Is it worth the risk of being stuck or in an rta for?

well we will need milk in the morning and Im going to walk and get it. Pop the kids in their buggy and trudge to the shops. I think its safer than driving. Im dreading driving to uni if its still like this at the end of the week.

I love it when 'they' make this statement...what exactly IS essential?

Sainsbury's food shop? Non

Fire Man? Probably

What do you do Slarty?

medical secretary, so they can very well manage without me can't thye???

They can manage just as well without you as they can without me (TA in a closed school) Do you have far to drive?

half an hour, so it is quite far in my opinion,..
decisions decisions,
if the schools are closed that will be my answer.

I didn't bother with work this AM.

Couldn't actually, DS's school was closed. Tomorrow too.

my personal classification of essential

essential - worth driving for

running out of chocolate
needing milk/bread
getting to a good hill for sledging

non essential

going to work - unless you perform an essential service
going to school
seeing MIL/Mother
anything you don't want to do

good classification kaloo.

So do you all think I can get away without driving to get the car MOTed tomorrow? Do you think that if I get pulled over/am involved in an RTA with no MOT that I can pleed snow and official warnings? I think not

hmm, if you dont use the car and reschedule appointment, you surely shoudl be fine callme

callmeovercautious,
of course you can postpone your MOT. But if it has expired then the only time you can drive your car is to your MOT.
