I was wondering if anyone has seen Newcastle's recent Road Safety campaign?
Should our streets be portrayed (and perceived) as battlefields that
we need "survival skills" to make it through the day? I will not go
into detail why I think this is misconceived (not to mention bad
taste), but it may be worth visiting the website and make up your
mind.
I would encourage you to respond to the "Ghost Street Poll" (some
surprising results), after you watch the Video. You can "enjoy" it all
here: http://ghoststreet.co.uk
