Karen Higgins @karenellab.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Lorry drivers frequently get a bad rap but I need to say a huge thank you to the absolutely excellent driving of all that I saw on the M6 M62 and M60 in heavy snow this morning. Safe distances, allowing significant extra stopping time. Made me feel safe in a frankly bottom twitching situation! ❤️ 030

Karen Higgins @karenellab.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Heard Fuse ODG on BBC this more. He explained beautifully why we need to question & be curious. He stated the positive impact the original record had to a specific crisis - but the key take away is that was 40 years ago and we should now think and act with increased knowledge & understanding. 110
