WITH regard to your article and opinion in the BEN on October 30 concerning the A675, I wonder if you have contacted the police and asked for the cause of accidents on this route?

The reason I ask is that I have travelled on the road for the past 14 years to and from work and have lost count of the times my own and other road users' safety has been put at risk. Not by the condition of the road surface, but by the drivers who, despite ice, surface water, fog and heavy traffic insist on driving far too fast for the conditions.

I am not saying all the accidents are caused by excess of speed but, I would like to bet it would be quite a lot.
