REACTIONS TO VEHICLE:

I went along to the shop at my house and asked the man behind the counter if i could talk to him about something that may or may not raise unpleasant memories for him. I made him aware of tthe fact that i drove a road safety vehicle and told him about the message my vehicle carried, i asked him what he thought about it and if there had been such things on tthe road before what had happened to him, did he think it would have made a difference...

He replied if someone had given him talks about this or these vehicles had been around his actions may never have happened.

Finally to let you know who this man is, a few years ago he was speeding on Renfrew Road where he knocked down a mother who was crossing the road with her child in a pram, the result being the death of a child.

Well done Tommy for approaching this subject with him - I''m sure it wasn''t easy for you. It''s very diffucult to measure the effect the vans have on the general public but I think that says it all. It great to see you take great pride in driving the van and honouring Aaron''s memory. Lorraine.
