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.
Paul so wanted to go around your track !He was convinced that he would do well.
Perhaps sometime you might let me do so ? I fully intend to keep the campaign going, even though my knowledge of the figures is nothing like Paul's. I can learn but it takes time.
I am extremely touched and heartened by all the wonderful comments Paul's is smiling all around us, he would be chuffed to the core. He absolutely loved the challenge. Paul told me the other day that the dft have now removed all mention of speed cameras from their website ! What an achievement.
I am still in shock even though I knew how ill he was. He would not have wanted to die in hospital and it appears that it was extremely quick, another heart attack, fatal if it occurred before the triple by-pass.
I intend to carry on his work - get the website published and especially the 100 Word Highway Code. Which we spent some time on, but it was his work, we just chatted about what was basic and cruical that helped develop a driver ....

May I thank everyone who is continuing their support of Safe Speed. Safe Speed (still) Needs You - perhaps now more than ever. I must get the Book out and continue the campaign ...
It is now 8 weeks since my fella Paul, died. I am still totally devastated. I miss him more than words can possibly describe. His departure from my life leaves a huge void, that will take a life time to even be partly filled. This wrench from my life, has broken my heart into thousands of pieces that will take forever to heal, if at all. :-(
To my love - I miss you with all of my broken heart, I still love you, as I have done for all of the days that I have known you. I still find it so very hard to know that you are gone.
With all of the electrical problems since my return home, I certainly, know that you are not here, when I am having to flounder around, trying to solve it all. My damaged eye was just the start of a nightmare week. I felt you around me, though, and I am sure you have guided me too, but I just, so wish that you were here by my side once more.
I miss you every second, of every minute, of every day. Claire x

Possibly the most heartfelt and moving post ever on PH. I hope Paul will live in your heart forever and it is in even the smallest bit of comfort to know that he was one of the good guys in this world (from what I can tell from others who dealt with him.)It is now 8 weeks since my fella Paul, died.
