LET'S concentrate on the well-intended reason for sticking lumps of asphalt on Bolton's minor roads.
It's to "slow down" idiotic drivers!
Sounds a good idea on the face of it, but if the highway planners look deeper into the problem, they will see the scheme backfire in many instances because hot-headed youngsters in clapped-out Ford Escorts and the like will only see these so-called calming measures as a challenge, and drive faster than they would if those stupid humps weren't there.
