John:
Think of it as evolution in action!

You mean in comparison to Ivan's comments?

I had never considered devolution actually occurring in nature until now.

I drove passed a white van which was blocking half the road off which i thought was a bit off and inconsiderate of the driver... as you do! But somone who i work with was visiting his parents a few doors away and said somthing today about the van just decided on its own to roll over the road and into a car, I was just wondering if anyone could confirm this or tell me more?

So... what DID happen to the van on Nine Acres the other day? I'm intrigued.

thats old its aready been said but then the car should slow down outside the scout hut if they see children coming out of there.

In response to the following...

Why can't those pesky pedestrian children coming out of the Scout Hut or coming back from the playground just learn how to dodge speeding drivers?

igor if you are so against the driving of motor vehicles i think you you should hand back your driving license to the dvla. then lay down in the road outside the scout hut as a traffic calming measure. i think you would make a great speed hump.

What you need to change is the attitude.

i do have children and i have crossed that road with them and also before i had children its always been a fast road and no matter what they put in to slow traffic someone will always find a way round it.

Dodging speeding traffic should be a health and safety requirement.

People are now driving at 50mph in the correct lanes rather than 50mph down the middle of the road. I suppose that's an improvement.

Mandy,
I think if you have children who have to cross this road you would disagree! They may have gone inbetween but they had to slow down!

Wed 28 Mar 2007, 08:12

i have to agree with john it is a lot better as people just went between the bumps any way.

Hello David,
Hope you are well,I have to disagree with John,I think it's turned very Dangerous for Children crossing near the Scout hut,Atleast when BUMPs were there drivers had to use their brakes.

Best thing that has happend to this part of Charlbury

As an occasional visitor to this beautiful part of the world I was wondering if the removal of the speed humps has been benificial or not.Is it a proving ground for nearby Renault F1 or has it reverted back to a "normal" ring road with reasonable speeds?
