If you put a pair of binoculars on Jupiter, you will see some of its four brightest moons, appearing as little specks of light on either side of the giant planet. Galileo was the first to see these moons. That they orbit another planet destroyed the belief that everything in the universe revolves around Earth.

Road behaviour is emotional behaviour, and December is the month when emotions run high and spill over the edges. It’s the pressure. The money worries. The crowded shops. The deadlines. The family demands. The dark mornings and
