I live on a semi-rural road with tortuous bends, where children walk to and from a primary school and cyclists make their way towards the nearby Trans Pennine Trail. In the seven years I’ve lived here, I’ve seen two people, a cyclist and a motorcyclist, lose their lives in road accidents outside my front door, and witnessed countless smashes as drivers race past, well in excess of the current 30mph speed limit.
I take my life in my hands every time I leave the house and cross the road with the dog to take him for his evening walk around the field. When my elderly parents come to visit and park outside, we have to go out, stand in the road, and act as lollipop people to halt the traffic whilst they make their way to the car, because these reckless drivers will stop for nothing or no-one.
Reversing off the drive? It’s a lottery, every time. I can’t back my car onto it safely when I return home so I’m facing forwards, because in the time it took, some driver would likely charge around the bend straight into me.
