Uk lags behind in Chld Road Safety

[jimpritchard]

Unfortunatety, this just goes to re-enforce a comment I made a few weeks ago, the government, rather than edeucate children as they did when I was a child, would sooner pealise drivers, which means that accidents that could have been avoided through education are not..

Of course but it helps if the message is reinforced by other adults, in school, Green Cross Code etc. As the OP suggests the SCPs don't help by visiting schools and getting kids to believe in the speed kills line and drawing pictures of speeding cars

Is there anywhere Britain doesn't lag behind?
