The Elmhurst Road is awful for speeding cars, vans and motorbikes.
It's an estate road, going through an area with two schools and the houses are generally occupied by old people and young families. Add pets into the mix and it is so obvious why the speed limit is 30.

I've seen a couple of near misses with kids on bikes. Yes the kids were technically to blame - appalling road safety - but it would be the speeding drivers that would bear the burden if they connected. And both my dog and my brother ran out into the road on this stretch. This is years and years ago (I learned to keep them both attached to me after the two incidents) but the same rule applies. If you are driving through a housing estate, the speed limit is there for a reason.

Bad luck on your ex-colleague to get done twice in 24 hours. But if was speeding twice in 24 hours he did get his just desserts. Not to speak ill of the dead of course.
