2222 dead on the roads.

2222 people were killed on our roads last year. And this government is going to remove speed cameras and leave it up to 'local people' to decide how fast they want to drive.
From the so-called 'war on the motorist' this is tantamount to war on the pedestrian. This meningless mantra of letting 'local people' decide everything is absurd. What is a 'local person' ? Why should this undefined person or persons be suddenly free to disobey speed limits ? I would have thought it is more likely that the people that will be mown down by two tons of steel at 50mph are more likely to be local people, as in live in the vicinity of the inevitable accidents that will occur, than the motorist exceeding the speed limit who could be from anywhere.
What about people with two homes ? Are they 'local people' in both places ? Does owning two homes give you extra rights ? This is a weak excuse for non-policy and middle class preference without reference to a coherent set of ideas.
