Quote:
Campaigner Vera Thomas, who lives in neighbouring Gascoigne Gardens, said: "Two cars were racing each other, one hit the bend at the County Hotel, shot across the road and hit a woman's car. She had a broken nose and ribs and was trapped in her car.

"If she had four of her five young children in the car with her we would have had a speed camera there by now".


WTF.....this has got to be one of the daftest statments I have ever seen!

Hmm - perhaps some rumble strips on the downhiil may help. Perhaps as well as the lollipop - (note they mentions spped signs and not gradient/bend warnings!) , paint limit on road and have a traingle warnbing of the gradient before they hit it and another triangle warning of the sharp bend. Admittedly - if you add the school triangle - lot to take in - so you look at the spacing of the signs as well. :roll:

Why penalise eveyone for one persons utter stupidity.

Why is it the individual is always targeted until theyre in a car, of which then theyre lumped into one conveniant group called the motorist.

Do we label all people who own a knife as mindless killers.

Or people with matches as arsonists -

Then the partnerships wonder why we group them all into the same lot -
" " - description needed.


(Note for paul - we now need pig emoticons - )
