Congratulations to Dorset County Council for reinstating the white lines on Dorset’s own ‘road of death’.

They can now absolve themselves of blame for all future collisions along the coast road.

Though of course with these magical markers of safety, risky overtaking, excess speed and errant driver stupidity will all become a thing of the past.

The irony is not lost on me, that the three ardent champions of road safety on last week’s inside page of the Bridport News posed for a photo in the middle of the road. You can tell this by the white line in the background.
