Bishop to bless Lincolnshire's gritters
The Bishop of Lincoln will bless Lincolnshire's gritters in the hope of cutting the number of winter crashes.
The Right Reverend Dr John Saxbee, who retires in January, has blessed the county's fleet each year since 2003.
He said past ceremonies had been followed by a reduction in road deaths, which was "perhaps not a coincidence".
The blessing takes place at Sturton by Stow on 7 December, with church leaders simultaneously carrying out ceremonies at the county's other depots.
Bishop Saxbee said: "These annual 'Blessing of the Gritters' events have coincided with a dramatic reduction in the number of fatalities on Lincolnshire's roads.
"Perhaps that is not a coincidence, and as I look to my retirement in January I hope and pray that driving carefully and arriving safely will continue to matter to all who use our road network in the years ahead."
'Crucial role'
On the day of the blessing at Sturton by Stow, prayers will also be read at depots in North Willingham, Horncastle, Ancaster, Manby, Boston, Pode Hole and Thurlby.
David Davies, principal maintenance engineer for the county's highways, said: "We are proud to be hosting the annual blessing events in Lincolnshire for the eighth year running.
"Lincolnshire County Council's gritting crews carry out vitally important work to help protect us all throughout the county.
"The blessings not only are to pray for their safety but play a crucial role in highlighting the need for motorists to drive carefully during the winter period, whether a route has been treated or not. Salt can be a big help, but is not a complete cure."
Bless this gritter! Utter twattage alert!

"The internet is made of people. People matter. This includes you. Stop trying to sell everything about yourself to everyone. Don’t just hammer away and repeat and talk at people—talk TO people. It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J

I live riiiiight near there (when I'm not at uni 
)
They never used to grit some of the nastier country roads only the major ones, in recent years they have been gritting more of the country roads (like the one out to my house for example).
I'm fairly sure that may better explain the correlation than him praying over a few motorised lumps of metal filled with salt.

In the best laid plans of history lie the ruins of the past
And a chronicle of suffering shows the mythic pall they cast
To believe is true religion, but to see is truth at last
Oh no, too late to hold a trial, time doesn't wait for the watchmaker's dial
