Dear editor,
The recent complaints of dangerous driving in Queens Park prompt me to write to voice the same concern within Bedford town centre.
Read: “I couldn’t agree more about dangerous driving in Queen’s Park”
Read: When will Queen’s Park have help controlling dangerous driving?
I regularly see high-performance vehicles with their back-firing exhausts race around St. Paul’s Square and have seen two cars racing over the town bridge at speeds of 50-60 miles an hour.
The other day I was overtaken on Ampthill Road by a car driving at a ridiculous speed along the bus lane.
Sooner or later someone will be killed by these reckless drivers who are breaking the law, seemingly with complete impunity, then there will be much wringing of hands and the old adage ‘lessons will be learnt’ will be tripped out by the police and the authorities concerned.
Please take action now to clamp down on this growing problem before it is too late and someone pays the price.
Mr. Stephen Barratt
Cranfield
