SIR - The A449 is not a killer road. The greatest percentage of drivers and passengers killed on the A449 are youngsters.

This undulating road, with its fast curves and racetrack like aspect is an open invitation for any young man trying out a new car or showing off his driving skills to his peers.

Warning signs of any description or anti-slip surfaces will have no effect on the death toll on this road.

Richard W Brown, Malvern.
