Another fatal accident where "high speeds" are mentioned early in the article. You have to read through most of the article to reach the real reasons for the accident:-
Quote:
Police said he was being held on suspicion of dangerous driving and driving with excess alcohol


This emphasis on speed Is giving a totally wrong message to drivers and non-drivers alike.

I missed this earlier, but you're spot on of course. Is the BBC open to reason? I'll ping their newsdesk an e-mail lunchtime.
