“Vicky, Withernsea. I can't find anyone here who calls Chris an idiot. It's directed at other road users.
Tracey, Keyingham. Where did you learn English?
Apalling spelling and no grammar or punctuation at all.
Get to school.”

“I find some of these comments offensive. Even if Chris was in the wrong there is no need for a certain few of you to describe him as an idiot. Have some respect for family and friends who are having to cope with this horrible situation!!! It is easy to criticise but we have all speeded at some point even when we knew it was wrong! Unfortunately this happened and cannot be changed... but how we all wish we could change the past. Please, just have some respect.”

“One trouble with speed limits is they command no respect from the public. Sure some idiots will always zoom around as fast as they can, but unless there is a logical reason why speed should be reduced, 95% of people ignore limits, unless there are cameras.

One limit which galls me is 20 mph near schools. I agree with it during term time and school hours but before 7am and after 6pm common sense should prevail and it revert to 30 - no kids about is there?

And taking someone else's point about tailgating if you do slow down and stick to the limit this is an evil habit. There should be a new offence of "push" tailgating with a sentence of a permanent unappealable lifetime driving ban and £10,000 compensation to be paid to the person in front, that'd cure some of 'em.”

“These days, driving on our over-crowded roads, and especially riding a motorcycle, is becoming very dangerous, due to the bad habits and poor standards of modern motorists.
The answer is more police patrols on the roads like there used to be before cost cutting and the like. We pay more and more money through council tax, so why cut these essential services? A police presence on the roads is likely to make people more aware and think twice about their actions. In a police station near to where I live there are between 8 or 10 patrol cars parked up all day long when they could be out on the roads doing what they were intended for, patrolling.”

“Speed limits is not the answer,there is a speed limit of 20mph down Hull ROAD PAST THE SCHOOL, a lot of motorists stick to this,BUT A LOT DON'T.”

“A tragic loss and my sympathies to family and friends of the deceased. However, once again rural roads are being blamed for such accidents. It is not the roads fault at all. It is maniac drivers like the two idiots yesterday morning between Halsham village and the water tower quite obviously racing one another. You in the hot hatch and the BMW trying suicidal manoevres amongst a line of traffic which included me. It is people like this that invariably cause accidents, sometime fatal, but have the luck of the devil to walk away from the scene with barely a scratch. One day Mr Hot Hatch that smirk will be wiped well and truly off your smug face.”

“what a waste of a lovely young life . How ever many speed limits are introduced people will not take any notice it becomes a game for young drivers to see how fast they can go in built up areas with out being court and fined it comes down to peer pressure lack of experience and a feeling of invincibility as many of us have experienced through out our youth i don't think there are many people out there that have not took a bike or a car to its limit or to our own capable limit.most of us have lived to learn the lessons and with age and experience become reasonable drivers i don't think speed limits are the answer i think more education towards young drivers maybe police work shops for newly qualified drivers with shock presentations of what happens when things go wrong and a way to remove the stigma of sticking to speed limits you don't automatically get 10 years experience with your licence .Chris was a lovely young man with his hole life ahead but he made a stupid judgement of error which any one of use can make and he has payed the ultimate price sadly .I work with young drivers . but it is not only the young drivers that are making mistakes i see a lot of bad driving from the older generation and if they are still getting it wrong 10-20 years down the line how can we set a example to our younger generation because it is all our responsibility every body is capable of making a mistake after all we are only human.It comes down to what mood we are in if we are late day dreaming bored excited etc it all plays apart on how we act on the roads it is my opinion that some speed limits can cause accidents not in built up areas but take for example hedon road it is a dual carriageway it would run quite happily at 50 mph and not 40. thanks safe motoring.”

“Speed limits do not kill. People will always speed regardless. so, yet again we want to punish the majority for the minority.”

“Here we go again.
When are people going to get it into their thick heads that speed is NOT the major contributor in the large majority of accidents.
It is the same old lazy approach as usual - instead of looking at things thoroughly and taking proper measures to make a road safer, nothing is done. Just a reduced speed limit to maximise inconvenience to those unfortunate in having to use the road, whilst doing nothing to address any underlying problems.”

“I agree with sam. I use great gutter lane twice a day and have witnessed so many near accidents by drivers over taking on bends etc. An incident happened yesterday on the new stretch of road just off the Melton roundabout towards the cement works. A car decided to over take 3 vehicles and the oncoming traffic had to pull over onto the verge to avoid a collision, and then further up the road it was doing the same again. New signs and more white lines on the roads will not stop these idiots.”
