Very sad news - met Paul two or three times, and he was tireless and selfless campaigner for what he believed in.
I do hope someone can pick up the safespeed mantle - huge dedication required to fill Paul's shoes.
RIP.

Very sad to hear this. The Top Gear office would like to pass on their condolences. We used Paul's depth of knowledge a number of times over the years. A great loss to the speed debate.

Very very sad.
Paul was a top bloke, and an important asset to the motoring community - I do hope someone else takes up the reigns.

You have to say this is an absolute disaster for PH. It's a tragedy I agree. However we need to give all our support to his partner Claire if she is to carry on his work. lets give her a warm welcome and all our support when/if she logs on. God what an awful thing to happen. As Der says a disaster as well as a terrible personal tragedy

Jesus! What a shock! Last thing I thought I'd see today.
I have to applaud Paul and all other supporters of his sensible approach to road safety. My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends.
I hope he passed away peacefully with some hope that his fight would carry on, which it surely should do.
RIP chap.

Very sad news. My condolences also to his family.
Paul was very helpful to me when I got some publicity against speed cameras being installed near me earlier this year. I sent him an email and he phoned me back really quickly and made some helpful suggestions. He, and his tireless work, will be missed.

Christ, I was wondering why he never replied further to the A14 accident reduction stats.
I hope to dear god all his research does not get lost to the world. Perhaps somone could organise some way of protecting his IP before it is lost (website, stuff like that)?
I sincerely hope his message can carry on.

Mr2Mike said: However we need to give all our support to his partner Claire if she is to carry on his work. I am surprised and very pleased that Claire has volunteered at this very difficult time to carry the project forward. Would one of our more HTML-savvy readers like to volunteer to help tidy up the safespeed website ?

What a total shock. If this were the states, the conspiracy theorists would be going nuts.
Makes you realise how fragile existence is and why too long is spent finding excuses not to do something. Paul chose to act and I add my voice to those who praise him for doing so.
Lets ensure that SS is able to carry on and do justice to his memory.
Best wishes to the Smith family.
