Roads becoming more dangerous

Hearing the welcome comeback of Woolworths - on the internet.

Should we be cutting back on our on line shopping?

Drivers of delivery vans tell me that they are witnessing a big increase in accidents.

Can we go back to the days of rail haulage and better still - the use of the canal.

The UK is just the wrong place to be using our roads more and more.

What can we do to lessen their use?

I 've not been thinking about this and will be cutting back on on-line shopping where possible if it involves the use of delivery vans. However the use of the post is a different matter isn't it, as movement by roads is better organised using large trucks and hence fewer vehicles.

Similar lines of thinking lead to buying local produce and a different charging structure in supermarkets where goods are priced depending on how far they've traveled to the store.
