I was up in Scotland the other week, the rural and car dependent area that I grew up in.
Most times I'm there I hear about a recent road fatality. This time it wasn't long after I arrived that we drove past a certain point at which it was mentioned 3 teenage pedestrians had been hit by a car. It's a road I know pretty well, and the incident happened at a curve that's at the end of a straight that I know people often speed on. One of the teenagers is now dead and another has life changing injuries that they'll never recover from.
A 16-year-old boy who was involved in a collision with a white Audi Q3 on the A82 at Kirkton, near Lochend, Inverness on Thursday, 3 June, has now died in hospital.

It's really a shame that neither of these teenagers' had sufficient family pets killed, and were subject to deficient parenting. So many missed opportunities to ram it home to them that they will get what they deserve if they go near dangerous drivers getting to where they need to be.
Roads are for vehicles and lets hope this teaches other kids a lesson.
