Re: Bl....y Speed Bumps!!!!!

The car driver who ran over her (and that is ''ran over'' as opposed to ''knocked down'') claimed to have been doing only 20mph but I find that difficult to believe considering she was dragged along the road under the car and was crushed under the wheels when the vehicle (a 4x4) finally stopped. I really would love to know if the injuries could have been caused by a vehicle travelling at 20mph. (I remember ads on TV showing what happens at 30mph, 20mph etc and I'm sure the 20mph option the child is only pushed along the road in front of the car)


(sorry about your daughter willow!!) but when an accident occured outside the pub a traffic officer got in the car and actually measured whilst in the car the length of the skid mark on the road and thus was able to work out the speed the driver was doing.
