Not Letting A Tragedy Go To Waste...

Former Lib Dem transport minister Norman Baker, has long campaigned against 4x4s on environmental grounds and believes they should face higher taxes to drive them off the road.

He told MailOnline: 'While they are useful for farmers, they are completely inappropriate for urban locations, and clearly more dangerous and have a bigger impact if a collision occurs.

'The taxation system should be changed to reflect that they are antisocial vehicles. We need to increase tax on them and make it social unacceptable to drive them in cities.'

Some of the victims of what's looking like a tragic accident that could have happened to a bus driver of lorry driver (all large heavy vehicles) are still in hospital. 

But don't let that stop you clutching their tattered blood-soaked clothing to your breast while you indulge yourself, eh. Norman? 

Not that you're the only rabid authoritarian out there...

John Scruby, a road safety campaigner and former policeman, suggested drivers of 4x4s could face extra tests before being allowed on the roads.

He told MailOnline: 'People in outlying areas need these vehicles, but I'm not sure that parents on the school run do.

How about we let people decide what they need, rather than some jumped up little popinjay? 

'Drivers need to be aware that they're in a four-ton killing machine and they need to be used accordingly.

If the driver did suffer a medical episode, she wouldn't have been aware of anything, would she? 

'As police officers we needed to take a separate course to drive a heavy vehicle. That's something we could look at with 4x4 drivers more generally.'

Hasn't stopped your former colleagues killing people while driving, has it? 

"We Must Do Something!"

Ms Ambler told the BBC: "If Rob hadn't had access to such a deadly weapon, there's a chance that Kelly, Ava and Lexi could still be here.

"This could have been prevented if gun licensing guidance was tougher."

It's not already tough enough? And deranged men and women haven't managed the same result with ordinary household items?

Kelly’s family want to see people who lie on their applications banned from re-applying, as well as licences to be reviewed more frequently.

Which wouldn't have done a single thing to prevent this murder, because it only came to light after he'd done it. And where are the police going to find the time?

They also want closer working between GPs and police forces and for people with recurring periods of depression to be barred from getting a licence.

That'll be good, since the GPs are just sitting there twiddling their thumbs, waiting for something to do...
