I saw something similar to this the other day.
It was a map of the UK with loads of red dots all over it.
You could zoom in like on google maps and click the dots and it told you what had happened.

That actually looks pretty cool. Northampton doesn't look too bad in comparison as well.

I was looking at this the other day.

I don't know if its interesting or upsetting. I don't know if Id want to see a family member or friend on it or not.

Any accident however big or small is very sad indeed. One day I would love to see this map lit up with only a single candle! or better still total darkness!

So would we all. I was involved in a serious RTC. It was very very frightening indeed. Despite walking away from a near 60mph frontal (car was wrecked) I am still left with some right foot articulation problems and it does impinge upon choices I have in life.

However, the damage it did to my mind is far worse. That's what really hurts.

One day I'd like to see that map be irrelevant.

Wow. Lot of crashes in the capital. More cars there than most places I suppose, given that in a day there can be 12 or 13 million people there. But even so, the country as a whole looks like a xmas tree.
