Why? In what way will I increase anyone's risk if I get into my car at home, drive 30 miles through the lanes and end up back at home?


What if you have an accident/breakdown/run over someone (on this unnecessary journey), you are then in contact with Police, Fire, Breakdown crews, members of the public etc. who might stop and help...and putting them all at risk??

That is why you cannot go out on a 30 mile jaunt.... redcard

It is quite simple..... banghead


^^^^^^This, 100%

Why should your wish to go for a pleasure drive, which is what people are doing no matter how they wrap up their self justification, tie up emergency resources and potentially hospital beds that should be used for dealing with (a) Covid 19 and (b) the usual run of strokes/heart attacks etc that are still running in the background anyway.

There’s no way I’d want to go to any hospital at present, there’s a huge chance of coming out with more than you went in with.

The more people liberally interpret the rules to suit themselves, the longer the restrictions will need to be in place.
