IIRC it wasn't. As I recall it the lad turned in front of a bus that wasn't speeding. It was bad judgment that caused that accident (which is often quoted as the main reason and good on his Parents for pushing so hard for it) but you also have to remember all teh others how have died or been seriously injured there. One accident would not have made LCC do the work, it is teh sheer number of accidents there that make it such a reknown problem. ( I worked at teh Brit for 3 years so know how many minors that wouldn't even get reported and I personally saw 3 or 4 majors in that short time.)

Then the rules are wrong and need challenging. Rules are never set in stone. They evolve and are reviewed and changed as necessary.
