Sitting on the motorway coming home at 3 am in the morning with a police car flashing everything in front of us and displaying a continuous ‘STAY BACK’ and all three lanes coming to a slow stop for half an hour, was a new experience. <y Canadian friend said he had never seen a police car ‘;talking’ like that. After the fire engine appeared we knew there had been an accident but I have no idea why they needed the coastguard.
As it was it was an accident and one car had overturned on the roadside when we drove by. We all drove by. After all what was there to do the police would have been annoyed if we had asked if we could help. A certain amount of expectations tending towards indifference creeps into a population when someone else picks up the pieces.
