Ms. Watson has been through a lot with her cars lately. In fact, they have been hit by other vehicles not once, not twice, but three times! This has left her feeling anxious and worried about the safety of others on the road outside her home. As a student, she fears that if something isn't done, someone may lose their life due to the reckless driving of others.
The main issue for Ms. Watson is the speeding drivers who often travel down her 30mph residential road in Southampton. She believes that they are going well over the speed limit, with some drivers reaching speeds of over 70 miles per hour. This has caused a lot of damage to her vehicles, including her Hyundai Getz, Volkswagen Polo, and most recently, her Audi A3. The crashes have left her with a hefty repair bill of over £6,000.
Expressing her concern for the safety of others, Ms. Watson believes that it is only a matter of time before someone is killed on Spring Road. She shared her devastation after waking up to find her Audi A3 destroyed in yet another accident. She stated that it feels like a never-ending cycle, and she is desperate for something to be done to prevent further accidents.
One of the biggest worries for Ms. Watson is the bus stop located on the same road where she parks her car. She fears that if someone were standing there, they could have been seriously injured or even killed in the accidents. The photos of the aftermath of the crashes are shocking, with her car ending up on top of a mangled BMW, despite being parked.
The latest incident on Sunday evening resulted in Spring Road being temporarily closed by the police. The repairs are underway to fix a damaged lamppost, but no arrests have been made in connection with the accident. Ms. Watson's neighbor even thanked her for parking her car in the spot where it was hit, as it prevented another vehicle from crashing into her living room.
Ms. Watson's concern for the safety of others has prompted her to take action. She reached out to her MP, Royston Smith, about the issue, who also acknowledged that speeding and dangerous driving on Spring Road has been a problem for many years. He has been pushing for the council to address these issues, but unfortunately, they have not been resolved. He hopes that this latest accident will serve as a wake-up call for the council to conduct a thorough review of the road and implement safety measures.
In response, a spokesperson for Southampton City Council stated their plans to make improvements to Spring Road as part of the Transforming Cities Fund Eastern Quietway scheme. This includes the installation of new pedestrian crossings and traffic calming measures. However, they did not comment on any specific accidents or draw any conclusions. They also mentioned that the police are conducting a detailed investigation into the accident.
Overall, Ms. Watson is hopeful that the council will take action before someone loses their life on Spring Road. She wants to prevent others from going through what she has experienced with her cars being wrecked by irresponsible and dangerous driving. She hopes that the safety measures put in place will make a positive impact and prevent any further accidents.
