Learning The Hard way.

I was returning from Tiverton this morning on ther bus and whilst the bus was coming up Upexe Lane into the village a small red car came down the hill at some speed, hit the bank and crashed into the front of the double decker. No one on the bus was injured but the driver of the car seemed to be in a state of some shock. The car was extensively damaged. When are people going to learn that Upexe Lane is a narrow unclassified lane which is now carrying traffic of a volume and size for which it was never designed and that people should curb their speed accordingly.

Todays events should also be a further incentive for the parish council to pursue the part of the 'we live here' plan that relates to Upexe Lane with the utmost vigour to reduce the possibilities of future crashes having a more tragic outcome.
