I READ in the Evening News of another major accident on the A44.
I believe that your readers and their families' lives are regularly being put in danger by the dilatory treatment of the engineering on this road.
I give for an instance the two lorries that collided in the series of bends on the A44 near the Peopleton-Drakes Broughton turn last summer.
Two drivers, neither from this area, lost their lives in an accident that caused the closure of the road for two days.
At this spot there is a series of bends that, given the high speed of traffic on this road, should be preceded by warning signs that these bends exist. In any other county they would be so marked.
This county council, along with its partners in road safety, the magistrates, the police, the health trusts, seem to throw all their efforts into saving lives by speed enforcement and fines.
Oh, that we motorists could fine such people when they neglect to protect our lives by allowing bad road engineering to be a contributory cause of accidents.
TERRY JAMES,
Drakes Broughton.
