yes you are self isolated in your car, until you have an accident or breakdown, (hopefully not)
This would then involve a whole rash of others that will come to save your life, I had an accident 2 years ago were a car being driven erratically smashed in to the side of my vehicle he was doing 80+mph, I was doing 55mph.
The result, my car span 180 deg and rolled 3 times ending upside down in a verge, onboard, myself OH and dog, dog died, wife had to be cut out of the vehicle, I made my own escape.
persons involved.
2 PC's, 8 fireman, and 4 ambulance staff.
This is also the Police point of view, driving is allowed to go to your exercise and essential journey, but the risk is greater the further you travel.
Maiden Castle just to the SW of Dorchester is at the end of a 1 mile road the police have been educating people in cars to the fact the should have walked .
or maybe I should drive to Scotland (10hours) then just go for a 23 hour walk....as if.

Just a thought, Fisherman, work is ongoing to identify, test and eventually produce a vaccine to protect us from this awful virus.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m not aware that this research is being carried out by the lovely people of Llechwedd. ( my mother is from Llechwedd).
No, it’s being done by the awful inhabitants of towns and cities in the UK 😱
I hope that because of this, you and your family will not refuse the vaccine into your community when it’s available......🤔

"Would love to see you on a site"??????
Is this some sort of threat?
In the current climate of fear, worry and stress I would think you'd have more important things to do than try to antagonise people.
If you don't have any genuine "corona virus concerns" please stop posting in this discussion.

Lifted from the Eastern Daily Press as police clamp down on speeding:
Norfolk & Suffolk Roads and Armed Policing Team (NSRAPT) reported incidents of four drivers going between 29 and 54mph above the speed limit across the region.
The highest speed recorded was on the A47 where a vehicle sped 124mph in a 70mph zone. NSRAPT said the driver was on their way home after making a “non-essential journey”.
Police also reported a driver travelling at 104mph on the A11 at Wymondham “en route to put a deposit on a puppy.”
I will leave it up to you how you would describe these people

For the avoidance of any doubt, here are the actual government regulations. Section 6 is the relevant one as far as leaving home is concerned!

Where we live, at the moment the chance of getting run over are very small, with the low traffic levels,raffic its when? the the traffic levels start to get back to as they were ,the accident rates for pedestrians will go up when we have to learn again to look before crossing

You couldn’t make this up, the Norfolk Police stopped a motorcyclist travelling at 125mph. When ask whether his journey was essential he said the purpose of his journey had been to pick up his pet goldfish. Sure enough in his rucksack was the fish alive and well.

I’d get that into Guinness Book of Records...”World’s Fastest Goldfish”.
Hope they threw the book at him. I’d make them do a month cleaning for NHS, they’d have to provide their own PPE. That might concentrate the thought cells, clear out the fuzz.

I see the tracking app is now live for trials on the Isle of White,
it seems that the security of the app has been proven by the experts there is no upload or download in use,
Only if you suspect you have symptoms , you can use the app to contact the NHS and order a test, this then sends a contact trace message regarding all other apps that have been near by secure id codes in each phone, no personal details will be transmitted.....we will see!.

I think it’s citing idiotic breaches of the regs, David, rather than looking for ways around the rules. Surely only the foolhardy do that.

I don't like that "holier than thou" expression when folk are simply expressing their views, but surely you've got it the wrong way round, David.
The "holier than thou" comments (if that expression must be used) are surely coming from those who are mistakenly implying that there is a limit on exercise time, either in the letter of the law or the spirit.
In fact whether you look at the gov.uk guidelines or the actual legislation there is emphatically no time limit as long as one's exercise is local to one's home (even if it means a short drive).

Also no need to use any labelling of people posting their opinion

If you are finding your village boring AD, I quite understand your spending a good part of your year overseas. But commend you for staying close to home. I am happily enjoying what’s on my doorstep, and our once a week, two minute drive as part of a shop that takes in an hour or so’s walk in some close by ancient woodland, far less populated than our local park, is very nice. If we could both go out together, and didn’t have the dog who sadly cannot walk far, we would be on our bikes and doing the local canal paths and exploring what’s on our doorstep like Corners. But sadly, it’s not safe for OH.
We work on the risk probability of doing what we do, if it’s safe for us and others, we do it, but we don’t if it increases our chances of catching C19, or might result in us becoming a burden on NHS. That goes for any dangerous in the house DIY as well. So far I have managed not put the fork through my foot, break my neck scrambling around the rockery, or walk into greenhouse glass, but there’s plenty of time yet😁 OH did cause havoc in kitchen yesterday, but once we had got smoke alarm off all was well. Didn’t take him that long to clean up either😂
