Marc Brett ) gurgled happily, sounding much
like they were saying :

Same thing near here (Teddington: Hapton Road & Coleshill Road for the
curious). A motorcyclist was killed when he attempted a right turn
from a highway onto a rat-run through a residential street. The
council's solution was to impose a 20mph zone on the street. Madness!
A cul-de-sac would have solved the problem much better IMHO, but I'm
sure council had their reasons.

Umm, no, the motorcyclist looking to see if he was turning across the path
of another vehicle would have solved it *even* better, but - hey - that
might actually require some expectation of personal responsibility...

He ****ed up, he paid for it. Life goes on for the rest of us.
