THE attitude of R Dust (Letters, January 22) almost left me speechless. Having no MoT, insurance or road tax never killed anybody. Speeding does.

If you do the crime, pay the fine and shut up; you're a criminal. It is not the car that's the problem, it's the driver.

The main reason why parents are afraid to let their children walk to school, why people are afraid to cycle and why there are so many accidents on our dangerous roads is because of the attitude and bad driving of many motorists.
