Say yes to cheaper van, home and car insurance

Speeding motorists in Norfolk may find that they soon have to explain their actions to a child under a new initiative from local police.

The Norwich Evening News reports that drivers travelling close to Tuckswood Primary School above the speed limit will be confronted by one of the children whose lives their behaviour endangers.

It may be that those who are caught out find that they compromise their car insurance policies in the process, as cover firms could see their actions as dangerous and increase costs as a result.

Police Constable Leo Blyth states that the exercise gives "victims of crime a voice".

"This is a way of making it memorable once someone has committed the offence of speeding, meaning hopefully they will not do it again," he said.

Department for Transport statistics show that there were 3,150 people killed on roads in the UK over the course of 2006.
