Nearly hijacked
Today I came close to being hijacked. I got the fright of my life. Two cars were waiting facing opposite directions, and as I came past the one did a ‘u’ turn and followed me and the other followed as well. They came up fast and I got onto the cell phone but kept on getting ‘network busy’. Finally I managed to get through to a friend, but by then, after a series of right turns and me looking at them talking into the phone they slowed and I went my way. Both cars had no number plates, but I have seen so many cars with no number plates in town lately. Are the police not looking for people breaking the law anymore? The number of red lights I have seen people go through as well is scary and I have not seen one policeman patrolling or checking for law-breakers in town. I think they need to be told to get out there and do their jobs. I am too scared to go into town now with my car for fear of either being whacked at a robot or getting it stolen. Best I buy a few pairs of shoes instead and start walking.
