£200 fine for another potential Selby rail crash? 
Saw him interviewed on TV and he blamed a lack of crash barriers. 
He has a point, they did not seem to be much use here.

He's got no point at all. It's a straight road and there was no other
traffic involved. As you suggest, another road driver who lost
concentration.

Bollocks he should be concentrating on his driving.

I've been driving for forty years and never hit a crash barrier (or gone 
beteween a gap in them) in my life.

"Simon Handy said the crash barriers were inadequate". What did he say
about the adequacy of his own driving?

Inadequate barriers and the inadequacy of Mr Handy's driving skills are
not mutually exclusive.

There was an outcry on this group about inadequate barriers following
Great Heck.

Armco isn't terribly expensive, particularly compared with the costs of
another Great Heck.
