Your doctor? Your nurses and water workers? Your goods drivers and bus drivers? Why are hypermarkets and retail parks, where goods are shifted out on a last minute ordering basis, surrounded by massive car parks.<br /><br />No offence but that is a naive post of a person who lives alone or with mum not far from work too.

But you make the point, there are massive controls on pilots. train drivers, ship's captains and so on. They have to be and maintain a very high standard. Also you do not have the liability of opposing traffic and people, kiddies, cyclists and animals mingling with you too.
