Reading a story in the local rag today, I'm amazed at the idiocy of the police and their attitude that lower speed limits are the answer to everything.
The story, in a nutshell, is that this month on one particular road (Leger Way, near the racecourse for those who know the area) in Doncaster, there have been 2 crashes in which 2 young people have been killed. The road is a long, gently-curving single carriageway with a 50mph limit.
The second of the crashes involved my friend's two sisters who were in a Corsa driven by one of their boyfriends. They crashed into another car which the s**t-for-brains loser in the driving seat was racing at high speed and one of my friend's sisters (only 17 years old) was in a coma for a few days but sadly died. The other girl is awaiting surgery on her back but is otherwise OK.
Now, a local police inspector from wants to reduce the limit from 50mph to 40. Which is utterly bloody pointless. The crash was caused by the idiot driving the Corsa (who unfortunately escaped alive but has been arrested & is currently on bail. The f***er's either going down or getting a severe battering) racing another s**thead in a Saxo at well over 100mph.
If the crash was caused by two morons racing at over twice the road's speed limit, what exactly is the point in reducing the limit from 50 to 40? 50mph is a perfectly safe speed for the road in question; do these stupid coppers really believe that, had the limit been 10mph less, this accident wouldn't have happened?
The fact is that, if the police had actually made any effort to stop this type of genuinely DANGEROUS driving, my friend's sister would still be alive. Anyone who thinks that racing at over 100mph on a single-carriageway at night in a hatchback is a good iea should not be allowed behind the wheel. But that's too much like hard work for the pigs, they'd much rather spend their time zapping people doing a few mph over the limit.
I sincerely hope that the c**t who was driving gets convicted of death by dangerous driving, and goes down for a long, long time. If he somehow gets off, there's a large mob of us who intend to make his life a living hell, as he has done to the family and friends of the young girl he killed.

!]Scumbags, I know violence isn't the answer, but if it were someone close to me, I just couldn't help myself.
