Out delivering leaflets in Bramford on Loraine Way at about 7pm.  A number of  older children were playing on the footway.  The speed of a few drivers in a 40mph limit has to be witnessed to be believed.  Of course you can only guess the speed from the noise and the way the car or bike rides but when they get to flat out in third they are around 70, certainly nowhere near 40mph.  There have of course been fatalities at the Fitzgerald Road junction but no doubt the Jeremy Clarkson types think they are so skilled that nothing will happen.   When it does a family is left traumatised.

How do we change the culture and temper the fun with some understanding of the risk and just how devastating it is to be responsible for someone’s death?
