I gave you an example. You choose to ignore it.
NIP arrived. 959Mark Foster I think there has to be a component of layout geometry involved that makes some junctions a lot more dangerous than others for the average driver. I would hazard a guess...
Who says it doesn't reach them? If the news report had said that the driver had royally screwed up through poor observation and the result is that he and his pbutteneger are now dead, it might at least make people think a bit more. Instead, he said that the road was dangerous despite efforts to improve it. The implication is clearly that the road is the problem and that drivers mustn't blame themselves if they get into trouble.
Bollocks. Great big hairy bollocks. It is precisely the choice of language that is the problem. It is that language that conveys the message to the viewers.
The "****" didn't hit anything. He turned right out of a side road (that is "protected" by a speed camera) across the path of a LGV that was travelling at 40mph (let's for the sake of argument buttume that the lorry driver is not stupid enough to have missed the camera, the junction signs and clbutt of road that he is on) despite good sight lines in both directions.
