We’re officially at a road death rate of one a day so far this year. Stay safe, don’t speed, be sober, belt up, and throw your phone in the boot.

    Yes, instead of being negative about it, we could promote the number of deaths in an aspirational way. Treat it like GDP - the more the better. It’s a sign of a vibrant economy.

        I realise you’re being facetious, but increased economic productivity is one of the reasons behind the UK wanting to raise their speed limits.

        The other is the fact that almost half of motorists break them on a regular basis.
