There has been a lot of this recently, children AND adults. a bloke went to jail just this week for a hit and run, killing a child. He had been driving 35 years without ever taking a test, so no licence, no insurance.That woman in Bristol who killed a young lad, and a chap was knocked off his bike near here a few weeks ago, leaving his 10 year-old son an orphan as his Mum had died of breast cancer last year. They still haven't caught whoever did it, though they have a good idea and a pic of the car is in nearly every shop window.
