Wild Friday nights


Have you driven on Friday evening in some of central districts of Brussels? I rarely do it. I did it tonight. Again, what an experience! A good number of drivers seem to become crazy as we get beyond 08:00 pm.  Maybe it is just that the crazed got their permission to go out and wild. The fact of the matter is that many of those on the city’s avenues on a Friday night drive in a ferocious way. I am told the Police have very little money left for traffic controls – they say they have no real money to pay for the extra hours the officers would be required to perform. Whatever small change is left in the Police budget is used for some infrequent speed checking.  It is the easy way out, as many governments chose to do.
