There have been over 36,000 deaths on our roads between 1999 and 2010.

I was surprised to see that a very high number of road fatalities are caused by commercial vehicles. Now they're not exactly the fastest things on the road, are they?
Other than by reducing Speed Limits, I wondered if there is a better way of cutting road accidents down?
Should everyone be made to re-take a driving test every 10 years?
How about more skid pans for skid training and skid control appreciation?
Should bikes be made/allowed to go on the path instead of the road? Kids always seem to be on the path in my part of the world. I always thought it was an offence, punishable with a maximum fine of £1,000. Not so, I fear!
