Driverless plan is plain crazy

Sir, – It has been reported that driverless buses will make trial runs on the Forth Road Bridge.

Just who are the fools that think this is a great idea?

What is the purpose? Is it simply to save wages and to increase profits?

One rather wonders if the patients have taken over the asylum.

How many people would think it safe to sit in a bus with no driver?

Will the general public get a say on this?

How about trains, aircraft and pilotless helicopter for the North Sea oil workers?

The stupidity of our politicians is endless.

We are not short of people, so why do we need such danger on our roads?

Sadly, we voted for the people that are encouraging this stupidity.

They need to think about how we can put people back to work.

Anyone who has worked on maintenance will tell you everything that can go wrong sooner or later does indeed go wrong.

Even in our wee parliament the beams fell from the roof.

We don’t have a government, we have accountants.

We live in a small country overflowing with politicians all milking the system.

What we need is for the people to have a democratic say to stop this kind of political madness but perhaps we don’t live in a proper democracy after all. John G Phimister.
