• Summary of local accidents since the 20mph speed limit came into play in Richmond borough:

    1. Enormous multi-car wreck at Teddington high street / Stanley Road crossroads involving people being cut out of cars and unrecognisable wrecks. Just after 20mph limit came in.
    2. Two-car crash where front car looks like it has gone head-on into a tree and then hit from behind at speed. All glass smashed out of tree car so it must have been some whack. Tree car is so mangled it can't be towed and is still sticking out in the road at 45° with cones round it. Has been there since mid December.
    3. As yet unspecified incident at Hampton Hill crossroads which closed the road in all 4 directions last night. I'm guessing this was a death.
  • Is that due to the speed limit though, or what are you getting at? Seems like driving more slowly could have helped in all of these accidents. Is the limit actually being enforced, or is it another one of those theoretical 20s you find all over London?
