"On average, some
seven people are killed every day on the roads in Great Britain. Hundreds more are injured, many of them seriously, often with life changing consequences. In 2008 alone,
2,538 people died and nearly a
quarter of a million were injured. In the past 10 years, the death toll has amounted to
32,298."
Every human life is precious and every unexpected loss of life is a tragedy BUT...
...although I count myself as a vaguely intelligent man, I fail to understand why as a nation we are willing to spend millions of pounds (billions of pounds?) on fighting the perceived 'threat' of terrorism and yet we are so accepting of the terrible loss of life on our roads in the UK.
