Running this one up the flagpole to see who salutes…
I just don’t remember this being a thing until recently, now it seems a daily occurrence.
Could it be that there are drivers not up to the job, too many cars; should houses be made to ride in single file, shops put on high viz, why are we putting newer buildings in danger like this, it’s irresponsible.

Apparently it’s nice scenery along there…
This bloke is quoted half-way through the piece and talks a lot of sense, I.e. contradicts the journalistic “killer road”.
Neil Greig, a road safety expert at IAM RoadSmart, says while highlighting accident blackspots is important, the issue goes deeper.
He said: “Ultimately there’s no such thing as a killer road as such, it is all about driver behaviour so it’s about the drivers themselves as opposed to the road.

Another New Forest pony death
Another New Forest pony death. There is now some talk of average speed cameras for the principal roads crossing the Forest. According to drivers, these things are an amazing cash cow for the police, so you’d think they’d have jumped at it years ago.
No doubt we’ll be told how difficult and distracting it is to drive to a 40 mph limit (arbitrary, of course, probably put there by an unelected bureaucrat), especially with all those hazards about.
Two guesses for the make of the car involved. The poor stricken animal is pictured in the article. I think we may have passed it the following day.
An awful lot of these incidents seem to be hit and run, which I find really weird because what are you going to do with a car that now looks like this? Are you going to take it to the scrapyard that features in every 1970s cop series ever made?
