Perhaps speed humps and a 20 mph limit would do the trick - certainly a cheaper alternative to a segregated Dutch style cycle track. |

Perhaps speed humps and a 20 mph limit would do the trick - certainly a cheaper alternative to a segregated Dutch style cycle track. An even cheaper alternative would be to have a sign erected saying "Do not use children's toys on this road - it was designed for viable forms of transport." ============================================ How's the psycholist-busting going Dave? It's rather easy at the moment. I think Numb Nuts is on an extended cycling proficiency course at the moment after the police saw the video of his appalling cycling on Friday. |

A look in our local rag gives cause for hope though. There is a list as long as your arm of drivers who have been done for all sorts of things on a daily basis. Mainly, speeding, drink driving and mobile phone abuse it seems. Although, a driver was moaning in the letters page about being done for overtaking a police van which was within the zig zags of a zebra crossing - I mean just how stupid do you have to be to pull a stunt like that? -- Simon Mason |

Should it not be the chief constable who is brought to court for these repeated acts by crown officers in support of these evil deeds. In the parlance of westminster, an accessory to murder. Do they not swear an oath to uphold justice and yet they hide these all-too-common crimes? Everyday it becomes more and more clear to me that detection, arrest and prosecution comes after tax collecting for these monkies. |

Indeed - but I pay enough taxes as it is without being so stupid as to pay out even more in silly fines that can totally be avoided like some mug drivers do. -- Simon Mason |

We should stop ****ed cyclists, who have no lights, no reflectors, no hi-vis clothing from using this road. |
