Who but a loon would let their 8 year old loose on a bike on a busy
London Road.

I might be inclined to have some sympathy for your view if it wasn't
for this:

the fatal crash took place outside shops on a side street, near the
busy A3.

Somewhere along hehttp://g.co/maps/2we64

I expect the taxi was bombing down the service road at excessive speed
to escape the traffic clogged A3. And why that service road does not
have a 20mph limit is something that I cannot explain.

Pure supposition on your part, the road was busy although not the A3.
