Ordinarily, drivers doing 5mph when a light dusting of snow falls would drive me mad. But when you get snow fall like we did last night, a bit of common sense prevails.

Sadly, those driving between the A38 and Trent Valley island didn’t seem to notice the driving conditions had worsened and they continued to race in both directions.

There are plans afoot to install a new (and much-needed) pedestrian crossing on that stretch of road, but given that drivers entering and exiting the A38 don’t slow down when there’s heavy snowfall, is there really any chance of them reducing their speeds for a pedestrian crossing?
