..was popping over my mum's for lunch and a car was just stopped in the road as i over took saw a little 3 year old (i think) girl led against the pavement with 2 people on the phone.
Was horrible she wasn't moving or anything, really made me think about how fast I usually drive along that road.
Then coming home my entire road is blocked off by police (3 hours after), so looks as though she probably died. 
Really horrid thought that had i have left a few mins earlier could have been me knocking that poor girl over
Has made me think about how fast I drive so thought I would share it wiv u lot.

Same here, not much point racing around town, you just get caught out by traffic lights

I hope that the little girl is OK.
I have to say that i don't speed, mainly because my licence means so much to me -- but when something like this haps it sure makes you think.

Ive seen a few things i wouldnt ever wanna see again.
I always get arsey with people who moan because they get caught speeding, but when you know someone whos died because of some arse hole who was speeding ... changes ur opinion on everything.
Lets just hope people see this thread and take note....

Me dad was driving my bro's nova home one evening (with me as a passenger)....some joyriding chavscum in a stolen XR2i thingy came up behind for a race. Me dad (being over 40 years old!) ignored....they over took, went rong side of the road, around a island, but misjudged and slid into a brick wall at around 30mph.
We saw 2 of them flung thru windscreen across the road. They slid for ages clipping kerbs etc. Were cut and burnt (from friction) to bits. Wasnt nice, as we were first there and had to keep em warm etc, and they were only like 14-15.
Believe it or not, 2 of their 'friends' who were OKish just jumped out the car and ran off.

thats nearly happened to me before, th kids in my area think cos its a country lane no cars come down it, and they jus randomly run out across the road, for the last half mile or so i go about 15 mph now....

I was going down a one way street near my house a couple of weeks ago.
Went round a corner and some stupid cow was cycling up the wrong way with her chav kids!!
Nailed the brakes cos her kids were in the middle of the road and she gave me loads of abuse for being on the "wrong side of the road"
