Speed bumps in my village

[CJN]

Following a recent accident (& accidents from some time ago, so I'm told) the council have, in their wisdom, decided to build one mile's worth of speed bumps.
The recent accident involved a banned motorist doing 80mph in the dark without lights in a 30mph zone, hitting, running & killing a child.
My deepest sympathies go out to the parents but ---
How will their solution prevent idiots repeating the same offence in future?

I must admit that it is difficult to keep to the 30 mph limit on this piece of road as it is wide enough for four vehicles to pass each other in comfort & some of it does include a decent incline.

Whilst I do agree that shooting anyone who commits such a serious offence will make our roads safer, I don't really see the point of their action. Buses & trucks will be unaffected by the bumps as will anyone who doesn't care for their car.

The measure that slows me more than anything is where you have an island across one half of the road & you have to give way to oncoming traffic. Half a mile down the road is a similar island on the other side of the road where you are given priority.
