SafeSpeed campaigner, Paul Smith, dies
I am extremely saddened to learn of the sudden death of Paul Smith, tireless campaigner for sensible road safety policies. Although his style was most definitely not the gentle, diplomatic approach, he certainly ruffled a few feathers and refused to get off the DfT’s back until he saw evidence of a change in policy away from the crude sticking plaster effect of speed cameras, which he believed have done untold damage to our road safety record, towards the sensible policies of proper traffic policing. However you felt about Paul, we have lost a true ally in the fight for safer roads in this country, and he will be sadly missed. I should personally like to extend my heartfelt condolences to his partner Claire, his friends and his family. RIP Paul.
