Today while driving my company Transit I was severely cut up by a red Ford Fusion belonging to East Sussex fire and Rescue. He caused me to brake hard. I gave him the benefit of the doubt as we all make mistakes. However, as I followed him up to a set of lights in the straight ahead lane which were red he then executed a lane switch into the right filter which was green and proceeded to turn right. Had there been anything coming up in that lane there would have been a collision.

These vehicles are normally driven very well. However the best bit is that written in large white letters on the rear bumper were the words "Driving down risk in the community"! Pity he doesn't adopt the same approach to his driving.

You could have wound down the window and asked him "Where's the fire, mate?"

It's like the traffic policeman stopping Stirling Moss and asking him "Who do you think you are, Stirling Moss?"

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
