Respect On the Road

Driving around the country is something I do a lot of with my work and from both day time to night time driving, I have often seen a mixture of both good and bad driving habits. These driving habits take place on any road, from the motorway to the country lane and even in and around the busy town centres. At anytime you can experience some strange driving habits but even worse if the lack of respect that some drivers have towards their fellow road users, as well as pedestrians!
Sadly these bad driving habits leave a sour taste in your mouth and I wonder why people seem to be so lazy or rude with their driving habits?
Road Rage Kids is a video that shows an interesting tale on how bad driving and a lack of respect can effect our kids:

We have heard how bad road rage can get, even leading to criminal abuse of another road user and in the extreme cases, one driver attacking the other with some terrible consequences. There would seem to be a lack of respect on the roads in Great Britain today.
Well there is now at last a campaign to bring respect to the roads again
AXA Respect On the Road
AXA  Car Insurance have launched a website that is dedicated to raising awareness of respect on the road and it includes some really cool content, from latest news all about the subject, downloading the AXAdent  app, some fun stuff that will have you laughing out loud and the ability to post your thoughts and comments on the subject. All in all, a website that has some excellent content and information and that is very easy to use! You can even obtain a quote for your car insurance if you so wish.
There is also a CabCam where people in a London cab shared their thoughts on respect of the road:

I am fully behind the idea of generating greater respect on our roads and I have the AXA website book marked in my browser and shall be stopping by on a regular basis! I think it is commendable that a company like AXA are behind this campaign.
You will even find the celebrity Charley Boorman, TV adventurer and travel writer of the Long Way Round, the show with Ewan McGregor  where they went out on motorcycles from London to New York with some detours. Charley is also fully behind the AXA Respect on the Road campaign and you will find him on the website, so be sure to check him out!
