Attended the funeral of a close family member today, the crematorium was about a 10 mile drive away, as we are travelling along, could not believe that drivers would not let the cortage travel together, ok, they may have had the right of way but really?
at one traffic island, the hearse got through when a car came speeding round the roundabout and tucked itself nicely in between the hearse and the first funeral car 
just no respect anymore, so sad |

Everybody is in a rush now days
Got to get to work
Got to pick the kids up etc
sadly even a funeral cant get in the way
One a serious note though it can be hard to tell where the line stops if its busy |

It's not normally the people in a rush that act this way. People with genuinely busy lives get organised and don't need to act like savages. Then there are just chaotic narcissistic types who do this kind of thing. |

I saw a horse drawn funeral procession last wk. Absolutely breath taking to see but impatient cars were zooming past. Not only disrespectful but dangerous too |

When I used to do a lot of mountain biking I would stop and take my helmet off as a sign of respect. I still stand still when one goes past if I am walking. |

I would say respect is declining in society in general....my dad still stops and takes his bunnet off when he sees a funeral car....I hope my kids do that when they grow up x |
