Boy hurt in crash near Larkmead School (From Oxford Mail)

• "Gunslinger, vehicles crash all the time, every day, going too fast, not paying attention, killing and maiming people and barely a word said against the drivers, drunk or sober.
  
  At 40 mph, 9 out of 10 pedestrains and cyclists will die when hit by a car. At 20 mph that reduces to 1 out of 10.
  
  It's about managing risk old chap, and when drivers are unable to manage their vehicles, they represent a massive risk.
  
  Now, 20 mph is not needed on motorways, but it is needed in towns and cities.
  
  A plus in reducing road speeds is the lower damage and repair bills, lower hospital and ongoing health costs, reduced import of fuels, but the best of all is that reducing speeds on urban roads does not have much of an impact on travel times.
  
  Why should peds and bikers be taking all the care, when drivers are expecting to blaze away like a mad dog with a six-gun?"
