"Keep on happening" eh? "Yet another" eh? Would you care to come up with a figure as to the actual risk of any of us being hit by a car when off the road? You'll need to ascertain the average number of these hysterical topics you start per week, the average amount of time that each of us spends off the road each week, and the number of us in the UK. Then see if you can figure out what to do. Alternatively you could see about establishing just how many houses have *ever* been hit by a car. That's if you actually care what the figures say rather than what your emotions do (unlikely since you're a speed camera supporter).

Hell, even the risk of being hit by a car when *on* the road is considerably lower than some like to make out.
