Frightening.
30,000 Hit and run injuries a year including 150 deaths !

Very scary indeed, some of those must be lorries, etc that don't even notice the impact, how do the rest of them sleep at night though

that junction has never struck me as particularly dangerous - but, then again, the junction at Old Street (which the Babe and I pass in the morning) and the junction at Streatham Hill, both with 'ghost' bikes, don'e strike me as dangerous either. It shows, I suppose, that this kind of thing can happen anywhere.

And, yet again, a young woman getting run over by a truck. This isn't victim blaming, it's just that I have daughters, and, pathetic though it might seem, I worry about them.

Not pathetic. We all worry about our children. I sometimes wish I had daughters as I might worry less. But it's probably makes no difference what gender they are.

Nope that's what was said on the One show so it must be right. I might have been momentarily distracted by Christine Bleakley .

It's strange how people are scared about flying.

When someone told me this the other day I said it was probably more dangerous travelling in a car as opposed to a plane.

Yes I know how does something so big manage to get off of the ground?

Also with my trips around the World when we hit turbulance I just imagined I was in a bus.

......an Airbus .

An omnibus as the one in Clapham has all 4 wheels firmly planted on the ground and not flying at 40,000 feet and 650mph .

That's the bit I can't work out - how does something that weighs a few hundred tons not just drop out of the sky?.

Scares the bejeezus out of me everytime I have to go in one!

Next time in a car going along about 30mph or more (if legal!) stick your hand out flat of the window.

That's how a planes fly.

Will the car take off then....or do I have to flap aswell?
