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

Would you accept: "Who but a loon would let their eight-year-old loose on any
road (especially in London)?"?

I expect the taxi was bombing down the service road at excessive speed
to escape the traffic clogged A3.

A demonstration of an over-vivid imagination.

The mere fact that you (cannily) put it that way is that you and everyone
else knows that there is *no* evidence to support what you say, but you
choose to say it anyway (this is also illustrated by your quite disgraceful
choice of thread title - have a care for the law of libel; you are not exempt
from it).

And why that service road does not
have a 20mph limit is something that I cannot explain.

A service road and a side-street are the same thing, are they?
