A slight derail here (sorry !!)

<rant>

But what really bugs me at the moment is that they're re-showing that ad on tv where the little girl says ". . .if you hit me at 40mph there's an 80% chance I'll die, etc etc. . ."

WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN THE ROAD TO START WITH, KID ???

I remember the Green Cross Code ads from when I was a kid - & although we (those of us of a certain age) all took the mickey out of them I'll lay money that the message sunk in !!

As has been stated already some money should be spent on educating pedestrians & cyclists (& disabled scooter drivers) about the dangers of roads - not just on ads blaming the driver for everything !!
