I SEE the silly season, as far as car drivers go, has started (Argus, 14/10/14) in that there were eight drivers in two separate accidents on the M4. Today, drivers cannot drive properly - eight drivers are testament to this. It is not rocket science to slow down in rain. and keep your distance.

Drivers are well protected in today’s cars, especially brakes, and they think that they stop within the same distance. Perhaps these drivers should think about the misery they bring because they can’t drive properly.
