I knew the child concerned & know only too well the area. The road concerned, like many others, is an accident waiting to happen, i hardly consider it poor taste to highlight the dangers. I also fail to see how anybody would have a problem with my comment unless they are the kind of person who likes to cut down that type of backroad at a silly speed. I'm sure most parents in the area would support my concerns.

   Looking for Logic; The story clearly stated that this tragic accident took place at 17mph. I am sure you are passionate about road safety but please do not use this childs death as an excuse for more speed limits and more cameras, it is in very poor taste.

   It would certainly be something if this tragedy could help save the lives of others. Drivers are still screaming down that particular road though with no regard for the kids (some of them very small & not as easy to notice) who wander into it. Parents, please teach your kids some road safety if your letting them out so young & SMBC PLEASE take further measures to enforce the speed restrictions on these kinds of roads.
