I Am beginning to wonder if everyone driving cars has actually passed their test.

The other evening going home from work and travelling along the M80 I was in the outside lane overtaking.

I'd spotted the lorry in the inside lane and the car behind it.

As I got within five feet of passing the car, the driver pulled out straight into my lane.

I hit the brakes and thank god no one was behind me.

The driver continued on her merry way, didn't appear to have noticed me and slowed down.

When she eventually went back into the inside lane she was chatting to her passenger oblivious to the potential dangerous situation she had created.

I SEE Glasgow Fort has been given the longest opening hours of any shopping centre. Do we really need this and who will it benefit. Certainly not the poor staff.

All this talk about being a 24/7 society is all very well, but it is the workers who I feel sorry for especially when it comes to the peak times of the year.

As a shopper I don't think I would be that desperate to have to buy things during anti-social hours.

REGARDING the story in the Evening Times, on used syringes being sign of a East End 'drugs epidemic', there needs to be a zero tolerance in this. But how do you solve it? There is lots of homeless shelters, chemists and the NHS hand out the stuff where do they think people use it?

ON the issue of losing car park space at Buchanan Galleries, the new car park should have been constructed before this closed.

I believe Glasgow City Council is partly to blame as they gave the go ahead for this massive redevelopment which will be the final nail in the coffin for parts of Sauchiehall Street and Argyle Street.

I REALLY feel sorry for cyclists on the Squinty Bridge. Ever since the changes to the road lay out to accommodate the Fastlink project, they have had to use the lanes for vehicles, but it is a tight squeeze and it doesn't look like anyone thought of them.
