How sad and tragic the death of 6 year old Guy Davies is.  My heart goes out not only to his mother, but also to the driver of the car who may have been expected to be driving careful enough not to hit anyone on the road, but who would also not expect to find a child on the motorway in the first place.  However there are many people who live in close vicinity to main roads, many of them families with small children so it’s a wonder that this isn’t a more common occurrence. 

There ought to be a way of sheltering residential areas from the dangers associated with motorway vehicles, whether it is by financing additional security measures so block off the major roads from the nearby homes so that children aren’t able to just wander out into the road.  The amount of financial resource that this would take is likely to be as great as the amount of time it would take to assess which areas of the busiest motorways need to be isolated from the residential areas first, but as little Guy’s death has proved, it’s something that’s needing to be looked at.

Finally we seem to be progressing with the site. This is what I'm going to change next the insurance cat page
