| At around 3.30am a two car collision on the M4 resulted in the death of 5 people. This crash took place within 300ft of my house and the motorway is still shut. The local 'news' is that the police were pursuing a vehicle on the wrong side of the motorway when it collided head on with another vehicle... |

Have I missed the thread about Mike Dickin being killed in a 6 car crash on Monday evening?
I would have thought with Paul having been on his show it would have been posted and I apologise if I have just missed it.
If you do have any contact with his colleagues please pass on my condolences. |

| Sorry Handy but I have to disagree. An offence is comitted by a named individual only when it can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. In the case of a speeding offence that evidence is made up of two pieces of evidence that the car was exceeding the speed limit, in the case of a device operated by ... |

They have adjourned until 2.30.
Definitely worth going in my opinion Paul, a road safety expert would probably be interviewed by SKY, BBC and ITV who are all there! |

"And all this to try to prevent the now-established 4% of accidents caused by breaking the speed limit. "
Is this 4% figure where speed in excess of the speed limt was the only factor, the primary factor or a contributory factor? |
