I AGREE with last week’s letter writer — driving standards are terrible.

The majority don’t bother to indicate any more. It’s really dangerous at roundabouts when you don’t know whether to pull out or not because the cars don’t indicate if they are turning off or not.

Half the problem is lack of police cars on the road. I never see police cars just cruising about and keeping an eye on things. The only time I ever see one is with lights on, responding to something. So people can drive like idiots with impunity.

I walk to work and the number of people I see not paying attention while driving because they are on their mobile phones on the St Helens Linkway near the Glass Horse is ridiculous.

Again there are no police about to spot them.
