But again I think most of the drivers in chippenham as complete ****** and dont bother to look when they are driving. If people drove correctly and at the speed limit then this sort of thing should never had happened.
The amount of time that I have to break hard espically at the junction of Hungerford and sheldon by the Tesco roundabout because please do not slow down on approach.
Again I hope you family member is ok.

No road is Awful Just the stupid (I would swear) people using it. Rush rush rush can wait 2 minutes the world will end.
But there is nowhere safe for people to cross the road safely to get in to Clift House.
Hope all involved are making a full recovery.

This was an 'accident' which means that at least one person probably made a mistake. Not everyone has the perpetual perfection and infallible judgement of some of the contributors to this thread.
If they know a road that you are driving on has a high risk then you should drive more carefull.
I am sure this old person who agian I hope is ok did not jump out into the middle of the road.

Normal human beings make mistakes.

The rear entrance via greenway Lane is no better! I go in and out of both entrances and the back entrance has a very bad blind corner and usually even when in a car you have to stick your nose right out before you have any kind of view up the road.

Pot holes should not be considered nature's speed bumps as seems to be the way of town councils.
