if people stuck to the 30 mph speed limit then there wouldn't be so many accidents and deaths on yarton way.

It is sad and a shame that people can not find any sympathy and already just assume that the driver was speeding. A man has lost his life, he could be someone's dad, brother, uncle.. Condolences to the family. r.i.p x
