Driving nightmare today

[NorthernRaider]

I used to understand places like London, Leeds Edinburgh being called "24" hour cities but these days it appears that every town over 100,000 people is that way now. I'm starting to see future problems for social infrastructure growing EG I see many essential rail lines can only be closed for about 3 to 4 hours a night for essential repairs and maintenance, that's not even long enough for poured concrete to set. My wife says they used to take one or two hospital wards and all the equipment out of service each month of a mega deep clean and servicing, but now that never happens. At I simply do not recognise what passes for supposed CAR SERVICING as car servicing any more, they rarely do more than a quarter of the checks and cleaning, lubing and adjustments they used to do, and tht is allowing for sealed bearings and longer service intervals.

I think we are heading for a cascadaing fall one of these days.
