Lethal Weapon

Lethal weapon

There’s a lethal weapon
Gleaming bright
Polished
Deadly as dynamite

There’s a lethal weapon
Hold on tight
Safety off
Death’s in sight

There’s a lethal weapon
Guessed it right?
It’s you in your car
On the road tonight

Wreckage

We can repair wrecked cars
We can’t repair wrecked lives
We can replace wrecked cars
We can’t replace dead children, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives…

Not pretty sites in Cardiff city centre opposite the castle

A report from the Pedestrians Association [July 1998] identifies that the number of injuries caused by
falls on poor quality pavements are likely to far exceed those caused to pedestrians by vehicles, yet these go unreported in official accident statistics. The Association also draws on the 1997 National Road Maintenance Condition Survey which shows pavement conditions to be worsening year on year.
Excluding NHS costs in treating fall victims, it also estimates that the cost of poor pavements could
total over £500m a year from legal and insurance costs and staff time dealing with claims.
