I HAVE lived next to the A420 for five years and in that time I know of at least eight fatalities.

It is time for the A420 to be a ‘no overtaking’ road until you reach the dual carriage ways.

I take the bus every morning and every day watch in horror as some people take idiotic risks, be it tailgating, which is a favourite, or overtaking, speeding, pulling out of junctions almost with their eyes shut, living in hope they make it.

Or there’s the motorbike riders thinking they can fly.

Stop these tragic deaths now and ban overtaking.

Stop everyone rushing from A to B. You may not get to B.
