Which would all tend to suggest that whatever we spend on infrastructure improvement wouldn't make much difference to safety at least. So, given the time an investigation and then the design and construction of a physical solution will take, we might as well put the money to better use trying to speed the imminent introduction of driverless vehicles.

And self crashing ones. Fnarr.

And he's, you guessed it. Excess speed played no part in the latest tragedy on the A34. But still, don't let that stop the uninformed from whining on.

He's being charged with dangerous driving. I'd say excess speed was a critical factor

Sorry - who are we talking about?

Edit: Ah - I found a brief story in the NWN about an Andover man who has been charged following last month's fatalities. But no details apart from the charges.

Pretty reasonable outline.

Given the hideous cost of administering justice, perhaps it's time we looked at privatising the Courts properly. The sale of newsprint is declining rapidly, so why not exploit the undoubted expertise and disinterested analysis provided by Mail reporters and let them run the Courts on an agency basis? After all, most of them are pretty sound on British values.

By the sales figures, it's still remarkably popular, but I've never worked out quite why when everyone seems to feign a very different opinion.

You seem to be displaying a rather bigoted point of view the like of which I have not seen from you before.
I detect an "anti Hampshire" or "Hamphobia" tone in your post!! tongue.gif wink.gif

If the vehicle was driving at 50mph or even 40mph, would there have been fatalities? Who knows?!

Of course speed was not the main reason for the accident, but I don't think it's fair to say excess speed played no part. The driver was driving too fast to perform the manoeuvre (of adjusting the music on his phone (allegedly)).
