Letters: Leave our lay-bys alone! They could save your life

SIR - I was driving in Majorca in December 2017 and, just five minutes from where I had to get to, I fell asleep behind the wheel and wrote the car off.

I was the only person involved and I was lucky enough to walk away with nothing but being just a bit sore.

I have used the A35 lay-bys in question myself on the odd time if feeling tried, even just for a few minutes.

This is a main road and the good thing is one can get far enough from the road to walk around the vehicle safely.

Without lorries one does not get goods around the country, even a local supermarket.

Tiredness can kill and we may be grateful of these lay-bys one day as a few-minute stop-over could save a nasty accident.
