SELFISH BASTARD
===================
A driver has been caught speeding past a child at a whopping 61mph in a 30mph zone. The incident happened yesterday morning (August 22) in Paignton.

Devon and Cornwall Roads Policing Team say officers were located outside Hayes School and Dartmouth Road where the driver was caught. Police say the motorist - travelling at more than double the speed limit - was just feet away from a child cyclist.

The driver will be prosecuted. In a statement on Twitter, a spokesperson for Devon and Cornwall Roads Policing Team wrote: "A busy morning on the Paignton Police patch. Enforcing outside Hayes Paignton School and on Dartmouth Road, where this driver was caught at an eye-watering 61mph in a 30mph, with a child on a bicycle just feet away. Driver will be prosecuted."

A police spokesperson said: 'The #NoExcuses campaign was developed to highlight some of the most unbelievable reasons given by drivers for committing one of the ‘fatal five’ offences by motorists travelling on the roads of Devon and Cornwall.

There are five main causes of serious injuries and deaths on the region’s roads – known as the ‘fatal five’:

Excess or inappropriate speed
Not wearing a seatbelt
Driving using your mobile phone
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Careless or inconsiderate driving

Rather in the same manner as those that cycle on the pavement outside
schools, boasting that they were exceeding the 20mph speed limit for motor
vehicles.

One should be careful about being caught by PKB.

And keep in mind:

The Fatal Five KSI involving cyclists:

1 - rider failed to look properly…3622

2 - rider failed to judge other person’s path or speed…1574

3 - rider careless, reckless or in a hurry…1225

4 - rider entering road from pavement…1097

5 - poor turn or manoeuvre…718
