I am in complete agreement with John Morgan (The Argus, February 18). My husband has a sports car, too. It is his pride and joy and he worked hard for it.
He also has to avoid using local roads because of speed humps. If he has to anywhere local during the rush hour, he has to join heavy traffic on the South Coast road, turning a ten-minute journey into a 30 or 45-minute one. If we want to visit family in Croydon, we have to go the long way round because we have the same problem in Rottingdean. We should have a reduction in our car tax and insurance.
Speed humps are dangerous and, making them even more so, residents park their cars either side of them so you not only have to negotiate the humps but parked cars as well. Then you get the "I'll get through before you" drivers. I can foresee some serious accidents because of them.
Driving in the UK is being made almost impossible by
the powers that be. Would they prefer we revert to horses?
