We have a big safety issue here. White Van Man and 4 x 4 Gas Guzzlers do not have a problem, but for the smaller compact cars that this government want us all to change to, speed humps are a real danger, especially the pre-cast concrete ones which have a sharp uplift and edges. I cannot drive my Honda Jazz over the speed humps in Hollow Lane at any speed, but it does not stop me from riding my mountain bike up and down the lane. In doing so I am always encountering all sorts of debris from shock mounts, broken sections of plastic bumpers, nuts and bolts, etc. This morning whilst riding up I found part of a 10 mm x about 50 mm bolt, which I suspect had sheared off from the suspension of a car or van; therefore some one is driving round unknowingly with a defective suspension/steering which could create a fatal or serious accident. I stopped to speak to a resident of Hollow Lane who I know quite well and he said he had just had to have all the rubber bushes replaced in his reasonably new car.
What will it take to get this message over to people responsible for our roads?
