Edenbridge Fireman

A Fireman’s Story

Research for blindedbixenon has thrown up some good and bad in the people I question especially if they are in positions like the Fire service, Police and Ambulance etc.

Questioning has become a way of life at the moment and Solicitors have become the target on every high street but while pacing around Edenbridge I came across a tiny Fire station and never to miss an opportunity looked to see if anyone was available to talk to.

Only one officer available but that’s all you need as I went through my routine questioning about my lights issue. Like many he had noticed the improvement in the lights but only does a limited amount of driving at night but understood that the more you were on the road the more the lights could make you tired because of the brightness.

Bingo something new and those who read this don’t think its cart Blanche to drive like the many fast drivers we meet on a regular basis. Firstly he thought my lights issue was probably a contributing factor to some accidents. The brightness was also making driving more difficult for some. The bingo bonus was he had noticed over the last ten years that the crumple zones on cars of all shapes and sizes has been improved dramatically to the point that when vehicles have crashes they the Fire service don’t have to cut so many drivers out. Even though this safety feature was not on my agenda it was good to know the manufacturers had something of an improvement in safety.
