He goes on to point out:<br /><br />"The car makers worship road safety education, particularly for children... It<br />tells the children to get out of the way."Duncanhttp://www.20splentyforworthing.org.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029597333753805868.post-79873990813280154042011-01-25T13:47:04.667+00:002011-01-25T13:47:04.667+00:00It really is time that the Road Safety Minister Mi...It really is time that the Road Safety Minister Mike Penning started THINKing and dropped the <a href="http://www.kimharding.net/blog/?p=1407" rel="nofollow">Taliban approach to road safety</a>, and started looking at a harm reduction approach instead.

Maybe we should accuse the Dft of distributing SPAM emails, because I'm sure we're not the only two.<br /><br />I replied with further criticism & a request for more information. Maybe you should too & we can compare further replies if we get any?<br /><br />As a parent I'm disgusted with the campaign & totally agree with you - it is unacceptable to expect a young child to behave anything other than like a young child. The Dft should be encouraging adult motorists to behave like adults eh?!<br /><br />P.S: Can you update my blog title & Url on your blogroll? Soz - I made the mistake of changing it without thinking about it thoroughly first - aarrgghh!!!Isla...https://www.blogger.com/profile/09569097700652272494noreply@blogger.com
